I think my produce was contaminated with something, because this is the first time I’ve ever had food poisoning and my Pico was obviously uncooked. I also cooked beans with juice from the pico.
Two questions:
-
Am I a dumbass for trying to salvage what I think is contaminated? I don’t wanna waste food and I’m under the impression that cooking it will fix it. My symptoms aren’t life threatening, and I wouldn’t mind confirmation it was the pico.
-
If I can dump the pico into a pot and cook it safely, is there anything special I gotta do? Recipe below so you know what I’m working with.
Pico recipe:
- 8 Roma tomaotes
- cilantro, 1 bunch
- 1 red onion
- 2 jalepenos, roasted
- garlic, minced
- salt, tbs
- 1 lime, juiced
Chop and stir together. Let sit overnight for the flavors to blend properly. Seriously, it doesn’t taste good til the next day.
In addition to the comments about cooking it not guaranteeing safety, I would also add that even eating safe salsa a day or two after you’ve had food poisoning would probably be rough on your body too. BRAT diet probably better.
I’ve never heard of BRAT, what’s that?
I’m guessing simple, plain foods?
You got it. Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast.
Oh cool, I didn’t know that had an acryonym!
I’m throwing some chicken soup into the mix to rehydrate too. It’s moments like these I’m glad I prep and freeze a bunch of soup ahead of time
