[Closed] Week out of date lamb- will it kill us?

In seriousness,

I wasn't suggesting anyone here was being racist or that curry was invented for... actually, I can't even parse that logic. Just saying that's probably how that myth started.

I thought curry was invented to preserve un rotten meat..

Yep, in hot countries you can't keep meat fresh very long, so it goes off quickly. for this reason you'll find most recipes for meat (eg curry) in hot countries are based around Onions and Garlic, for the reason that they have strong antimicrobial properties: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6669596
