Actually there was not any pizza or meat
Thank you.
I don't want to get in trouble for replying to an old topic but the discussion thread for today was locked and I'm new so I started looking around. This discussion about rotting pizza just burns me up for a lot of reasons, more than it should really, lol.
I'm gonna go one further in this debate.
I worked for a pizza place. The ingredients are SO overprocessed, we joke that they look like rat pellets or kibble, or whatever. They are so full of preservatives, IMO it would be damn near impossible for that stuff to smell like a dead body. Think about it. You have beef or chicken or pork, half or entirely cooked, soaked in preservatives and spiced. Comparing it to a dead body is insane.
Also, as a mom, more than once I have had to pull food out from under a seat, after running my kids to speech therapy or physical therapy, and having to stop and get something on the way. And yes, it laid there for months. Why? BECAUSE IT HAD NO SMELL.
The cheese shriveled up and became the texture thin crispy cardboard. The meat had also shriveled and hardened to something much smaller. The dough had dried out and become like some kind of plywood that you could bang against something and it would make a thunk. It all just dehydrated and shriveled up. The same with chicken nuggets, and half a cheeseburger. All things I've pulled out of my car, after sitting in the hot florida sun.
If the meat from the burger in YOUR car smelled like that, I'd be very concerned. I'd think the meat would be half cooked to produce a smell like a dead body, and I'd NEVER eat in that place again. I'd also be on the phone with the health department wanting to know what goes into the food there, and demand they look into cleaning, cooking and storage practices in that place.
I don't want to offend, but I'd be really worried if my child ate something that came from that place, and it smelled like that later. It's frightening to think a child could eat something half cooked or perhaps gone sour before cooking.
(though...once I left RAW CHICKEN from the butcher in my car over a three day weekend in middle of summer. Florida summer. THAT smelled absolutely abominable, and very similar to other dead animals I came across after hurricane season.)
