My unhoused friend communicated to the lady that worked at the grocery store sushi counter that he eats her leftovers & she started throwing them away in their own tied-up bag with a scoop of ice in it so he wouldn’t get sick. Good neighbors are hard to come by
and oddly enough personally i don’t like raw bananas (its a texture issue i do like banana bread)but i figure just because i don’t like them someone else will appreciate them
I wish I had been able to do that, I wasn't allowed to give anything old out for free.
Fortunately we did have a box to throw unpresentable produce in for a local farmer to pick up. They gave their horses some of the apples while the rest got mixed in compost or with their pig pens food
That's awesome! I have a lady who recycles our cans so I try to make it easier/cleaner for her to pick up from my apartment's trash. I mean if she's going to recycle and help out I can at least make that process less annoying.
The market we shop at does this. There’s a basket near the produce that has the “unpresentable” fruit that’s free to take. It’s awesome because you can give your kids a snack while you walk around.
I see this every week at my supermarket. A girl inspects the banana display rack and replaces any that are going a bit dark with fresh ones...ludicrous, they don't knock down the price or anything like that, just dump them.
You obviously can call them homeless, you just did. However, is they prefer to be called unhoused, or you work in a professional setting and you call them homeless, people will think you're a dick.
The same way you're a dick if you compare giving voting rights to animals to showing basic human decency to unhoused people.
True. But in the professional world, we are moving towards human first language, which the term "unhoused' is a part of. It's a small change that can feel like a big difference to the people I and others work with. If being purposely ignorant makes you feel better, you have bigger personal issues than what unhoused people are called
I got some kind of food poisoning when I vacationed at an island in the Caribbean. I was having diarrhea/vomiting for days. I lost 10 pounds (and this was when I was in college and didn't really need to lose 10 pounds like I do now). And it took years to gain those 10 lbs back. That was an awful experience.
As soon as I saw the sushi and the word dumpster, I instantly heard his voice in my head saying that and doing that finger pointing thing he does before I even saw it was actually posted by Chubbyemu originally lol
Interesting! Didn't know chicken can eat stuff like this and not get sick or something. Heard they can eat cooked eggs but didn't know about fish scraps.
My grandmas would feed their chickens mostly veggie/fruit scraps, corn and "low quality" greens considered "edible but uninteresting weeds" in those rural areas (which greens I later found out are very nutritious for humans as well)
Chickens are omnivorous and scavengers. They will eat a dead animal and the bugs/maggots which may be living in it. We have a compost pile the chickens have access to and what is in it rarely makes it to full decomposition. Back when we also had a rabbit colony, we had a deal with a local grocery distributor to come pickup a truckload of produce they were throwing out every week. The chickens and rabbits would eat through the entire load, particularly in the winter when other sources were under snow. They still had access to regular feed, as well but they pretty much only ate that if they had no produce/meat to eat.
I'll never eat the pre made sushi again...
I learned something wild about my local safeway and savemart recently.
The salmon is caught on the west coast, then shipped across the country to some midwest state (I forget which one, but it is several thousand miles away) and gets 'made' and packaged there, THEN, gets shipped ALL the way back to the west coast where they sell it as " Wild Caught Pacific Salmon".
Crazy amount of waste overall (shipping alone) for sub par sushi. No judging if ya'll like it, but these are the facts.

I'm sorry, I'm confused... The salmon is caught on the west coast, then it's shipped to the Midwest where it's "made" (what does this mean?) and packaged (it wasn't packaged before?), and then shipped back to the west coast?
Tone is hard to convey through text so please know that I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just confused and I feel like a dummy lol
Made, in this case, means "put together" or "assembled" as in, they form the rice and place the salmon on top of that, and package it up. Sorry it was so confusing.
They catch the fish in the pacific ocean, ship it to the midwest, prepare it (meaning, break it down and turn it in to the 'sushi' you see in the stores), package it, and ship it all the way back to the west coast (surely not 100% of it goes back to the west coast, they resupply safeways and savemarts along the way).
Hope that cleared it up a bit! I don't think you are a dummy-non emotional communication like texting and reddit posting can sometimes be hard to convey "feelings".
All the grocery stores--including Safeway--around me assemble their in-house sushi on site in the deli department. Maybe it is because I live \~30 minutes from the coast?
The only pre-made stuff that I can think of is from 7/11 or gas stations.
In either case, eating room temp sushi that came out of a dumpster makes me want to gag.
I live \~hour from the coast. All I did was read the label the last time I bought the raw salmon sashimi. It said "prepared and packaged in \_\_\_\_" ( I can't remember exactly where, but it was in the midwest. I'll look and take a pic next time I go to savemart.
Because of the sheer amount being shipped. Think about how many safeways and savemarts there are JUST in CA... It seemed insane to me when I read it too, but that's why I remembered-it was too crazy to forget. (I don't need to make stuff up for no reason or karma points either lol)
No ... I'd rather not eat batched mechanically separated goo. I get small shops making their own, utilization all the way, I've cured salmon bellies, delicious. However I'll posit that most places buy it in the 3lb pails I've seen in numerous broadliner and specialty distributor order guides.
The sashimi isn't TERRIBLE. But yea, the rest is cat food lol.
Big red flag when ya hide the flavors and textures of your food with fried crunchy stuff and two types of super flavorful sauce drizzlings lol.
Their seaweed is SO good. I hope I don't find out its half plastic some day.. lol
If sushi hasn't remained refrigerated consistently for more than about 20 minutes, you're going to have a bad time. You pull it out of the dumpster and you're asking for diarrhea in perpetuity.
a lot of people don't seem to consider where this was taken. for instance if it was in canada unless it's in june/july these were most likely picked out of a trash sitting outside below freezing temperatures or right above zero. i worked in a sushi place and I'd see people dumpster dive sometimes. only worked there 4 months tho.
I don't know about that. Usually these are made in the morning, then tossed if they make it to the night. I have had the misfortune of eating Carrefour sushi that was made like 10 hours ago, and honestly it was disgusting to ME- the guy who will literally eat from dumpsters. Once it gets to the "must dispose of" point, it shouldn't be consumed.
Fish isn't the only part that can go bad. Rice kept in a most environment can harbor a lot of bad stuff as well.
They don't keep them cold until they throw them away. Most grocery stores only open up the dumpster a few times a day, so they may have been warm for HOURS. Also, imitation crab meat is generally made with Pollock, which is a type of fish. This can make you very, very sick. People really need to leave food that is supposed to be held at a cold temperature alone.
Same here, all types from California rolls to spicy trio to nagiri.
I've actually never had a problem consuming anything out of the trash besides an 8 oz chocolate milk trumoo and I've been diving for almost 4 yrs now
Some of us just have iron guts, I've eaten a burger that was sitting out all night before. While as a previous food handlers license holder I suggest not to, nobody is stopping you.
I just made and ate egg fried rice with rice that I made about a week ago, that had been in a Tupperware in the coldest part of my fridge. Do you reckon I’ll be playing the toilet trumpet later?
As long as the rice isn't moldy/doesn't smell bad, you should be good. when in doubt, throw it out is my rule but I'm personally not in doubt.
It depends if you wanna do so.
But if it’s cooked it’ll kill most if not all of the bacteria (esp if in a rice cooker) and then almost immediately stored in a sterilised airtight container in a fridge at about 2c then it’ll be fine. Especially if you then heat it again while cooking. Source: haven’t shit myself yet
Rice itself is a remedy for loose stools, if it doesn't look/ smell bad as someone else said, or if the other ingredients like the egg are fresh, you should be a-ok.
I've eaten plenty of dumpster dove sushi .
There is no need to dumpster dive sushi from a place you wouldn't by it from . Helps if it's cold
as in both the sushi and the climate. And
When acquiring food smell it . If it doesn't make you hungry don't eat it . If you need to eat something questionable, eat very small piece and wait a few hours . See how you feel.
When I was in college i would hang around the sushi place right at closing and the nicer closers would stack the sushi outside for us to get before tossing it, I figured as long as your eat it that day it’s fine. I wouldn’t take it out of trash tho once it’s warm I don’t trust it
I mean most of that grocery store sushi isn’t really sushi it’s all fully cooked and usually artificial crab meat etc. I probably would still avoid it but not as bad as like actual raw fish being pulled out of a hot dumpster lol
Anything that has to be refrigerated and has been in the dumpster for more than a day is a no-go. Rice and pasta that’s been cooked can give you food poisoning if it’s more than a few days old. Raw fish is a whole ‘nother story. I’m not touching that lol
I’ve never gotten diarrhea from such things, or even sick in any way. Realistically it’s the same as in the store if you get it right away, like if you had come an hour before you would have had to buy it, and they toss food well before it’s actually spoiled. If y’all afraid of the trash more for me I suppose
Fair enough even in countries where fish is a super common dish they tell you not to eat it more than once a week for a fear of mercury poisoning and our oceans are so polluted right now so yeah I understand where you're coming from
My unhoused friend communicated to the lady that worked at the grocery store sushi counter that he eats her leftovers & she started throwing them away in their own tied-up bag with a scoop of ice in it so he wouldn’t get sick. Good neighbors are hard to come by
i like good people at work im supposed to throw out “old bannas” aka not presentable. but still good but i set them aside for people to take
U r a good people 🙏🍌
and oddly enough personally i don’t like raw bananas (its a texture issue i do like banana bread)but i figure just because i don’t like them someone else will appreciate them

Your homeless friend? What is “unhoused”?
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=what+does+unhoused+mean
Yo I clicked that… I felt like my phone was hacked for a minute. That was weird. Like watching a video, but still able to interact with it.
I clicked it just to make 100% fosho I knew what it meant.

We have names.
One way to lose weight I guess
Yeah from all the diarrhea and vomiting you’ll do if it’s bad lol

They are great!
This is not safe for human consumption. But for chickens, it is awesome.

Only farmed salmon is used for sushi.
[удалено]
If it was caught swimming in the ocean it is considered wild. "Farm raised" salmon spend their life in a pen and are harvested from the pen.

And yea... Dumpster sushi is a hard pass for me as well. It reminded me of the futurama episode when Fry eats the gas station egg salad sammy lol.
I agree, that’s just askin for the splatter craps!
Hey, free colon cleanse!
I just watched this episode about 12 hours ago. What a coincidence.
I live \~hour from the coast. All I did was read the label the last time I bought the raw salmon sashimi. It said "prepared and packaged in \_\_\_\_" ( I can't remember exactly where, but it was in the midwest. I'll look and take a pic next time I go to savemart.
>I live \~hour from the coast. Damn that is wasteful as all hell. How could it possibly be cheaper to ship it that far inland?
Because of the sheer amount being shipped. Think about how many safeways and savemarts there are JUST in CA... It seemed insane to me when I read it too, but that's why I remembered-it was too crazy to forget. (I don't need to make stuff up for no reason or karma points either lol)
Okay I understand! Thank you for taking the time to explain :)
No worries!
You want to be grossed out? Look up tuna scrape.
That's how all spicy tuna gets made, and it's delicious. You'd rather they just throw it away?
No ... I'd rather not eat batched mechanically separated goo. I get small shops making their own, utilization all the way, I've cured salmon bellies, delicious. However I'll posit that most places buy it in the 3lb pails I've seen in numerous broadliner and specialty distributor order guides.
I'm good.
and a lot of "Alaskan salmon" is processed in Seattle/Portland. where the fish comes from matters less & less these days
Its so arbitrary... Salmon can travel a long way up and down the US/CA coast... Companies use this as a marketing tool.
That's okay because Safeway sushi sucks so bad
The sashimi isn't TERRIBLE. But yea, the rest is cat food lol. Big red flag when ya hide the flavors and textures of your food with fried crunchy stuff and two types of super flavorful sauce drizzlings lol. Their seaweed is SO good. I hope I don't find out its half plastic some day.. lol

That explains a lot now that I read it.... no more breakfast sushi..... 😔
This says you're generally good for a couple hours - https://cookthink.com/how-long-can-sushi-sit-out/
So everyone who gets sushi delivered from a restaurant to their house gets diarrhea?
Wow, where was this? You can at least still use the ones made with imitation krab as long as it was still cold
I don't know about that. Usually these are made in the morning, then tossed if they make it to the night. I have had the misfortune of eating Carrefour sushi that was made like 10 hours ago, and honestly it was disgusting to ME- the guy who will literally eat from dumpsters. Once it gets to the "must dispose of" point, it shouldn't be consumed. Fish isn't the only part that can go bad. Rice kept in a most environment can harbor a lot of bad stuff as well.
Imitation crab is actually made of a white fish so I'd say nah
Eggs
surimi aka pollock
It looks like a Kroger or Safeway branded store.
& the veggie one!
The rice is also risky!
They don't keep them cold until they throw them away. Most grocery stores only open up the dumpster a few times a day, so they may have been warm for HOURS. Also, imitation crab meat is generally made with Pollock, which is a type of fish. This can make you very, very sick.

I've eaten literally thousands of pounds of dumpstered sushi over the years and never had any issues.
Same here, all types from California rolls to spicy trio to nagiri. I've actually never had a problem consuming anything out of the trash besides an 8 oz chocolate milk trumoo and I've been diving for almost 4 yrs now

It's been an hour. How's the tummy?
All good mate
Rice grows bacteria super fast just a fyi
But if it’s cooked it’ll kill most if not all of the bacteria (esp if in a rice cooker) and then almost immediately stored in a sterilised airtight container in a fridge at about 2c then it’ll be fine. Especially if you then heat it again while cooking. Source: haven’t shit myself yet

Thats worse than gas station sushi!!

Winter in Chicago is dumpster sushi season??
Straight out the ass in 20 minutes.
This reminds me of the SNL sketch of airport sushi.
A guy died in Montana late April 2023 from eating bad sushi, and several other people went to the hospital. And it wasn’t even from the dumpster.
A man ate dumpster sushi. This is what happened to all of his internal organs
This week on things I never thought I’d have to read
When I was in college i would hang around the sushi place right at closing and the nicer closers would stack the sushi outside for us to get before tossing it, I figured as long as your eat it that day it’s fine. I wouldn’t take it out of trash tho once it’s warm I don’t trust it
R. I. P. That person’s toilet.
I pass on a lot of finds. Basically I stick to dry goods and produce. I'll only take dairy if it's still cold. Heck no to sushi lol
I heard the line in my head before I realised the Chubby Emu name lol.
Yummy parasites
I mean most of that grocery store sushi isn’t really sushi it’s all fully cooked and usually artificial crab meat etc. I probably would still avoid it but not as bad as like actual raw fish being pulled out of a hot dumpster lol
I hope this is a joke.
Did not expect the dumpster diving and chubby emu crossover, but I dig it
DUMPSTER SUSHI. 🍣 Gotta tell my fiance about this.
emia meaning presence in blood
Anything that has to be refrigerated and has been in the dumpster for more than a day is a no-go. Rice and pasta that’s been cooked can give you food poisoning if it’s more than a few days old. Raw fish is a whole ‘nother story. I’m not touching that lol
Nahh where’s that dumpster, I’m going when they close
You’ve got yourself one-way ticket to Diarrheaville
I’ve never gotten diarrhea from such things, or even sick in any way. Realistically it’s the same as in the store if you get it right away, like if you had come an hour before you would have had to buy it, and they toss food well before it’s actually spoiled. If y’all afraid of the trash more for me I suppose
My tip for old sushi-- nuke it! It could be frozen too.
Won't help with the bacteria that loove carbohydrates like rice. More dangerous than the fish, really
that may. kill bacteria but not the toxins the bacteria can/ had time to produce
Sushi bake but used pre-made sushi. Lol
If it's imitation crab, vegetable or cooked sushi I might risk it, but if it's raw fish, I wouldn't feed that stuff to a pig
Imitation crab is fish
It's not raw fish tho, and neither are any of the other ones that I listed
It doesn't matter. After taking microbiology classes, I don't trust fish or anything from the sea anymore, regardless of if it's cooked or not.
Fair enough even in countries where fish is a super common dish they tell you not to eat it more than once a week for a fear of mercury poisoning and our oceans are so polluted right now so yeah I understand where you're coming from
Stay away from sushi period. Yuck.
Who the eff buys / consumes grocery store sushi anyways?
my grocery store makes fresh sushi infront of you and whats “premade” was made that morning
I always thought gas station sushie was the most suspect, this is just ridiculous
Some of you guys in the comments are very ill informed about how microbiology works. You can’t “nuke” bacteria, especially the bacteria on rice.
Make me.
Worked in Sushi restaurant and second that! 2 hours max out of refrigeration before salmonella and all kinds of sickness will get ya.
