I vividly remember my grandparents attitude, which was basically that the longer the meat sits in the chiller the more curry you need when cooking it! The modern food safety advocates would have a fit at what was eaten in generations gone past.
Also this reminds me of the time when my sons enjoined watching Bear Grylls tv shows, if that dude can eat 6 week old roadkill and survive then a venison left in the rain 2 days should be ok if well cooked.
