This chili has been in there since last Thurs. It looks and smells ok still. Should I trust it?

leftovers usually keep in the fridge for at least a week. That chili should be just fine. I have eaten chili that has been that old before and it was A-Okay.

I only go up to 4 days with my left-overs, but thats just me!
I've heard that you shouldnt rely on taste or smell, coz it can be deceiving, and can still be high in bacteria.

Shouldn't be a problem. That being said, if I question something, I don't eat it. It's fully cooked, and been properly refrigerated, you will be fine.

No. Throw it out just to be on the safe side.

As long as it was fully cook, and kept cold: then it's fine. If it hasn't been kept cold then toss it.

Try a bite. If it tastes OK, great--if not, spit it out and throw it out.
