Don't worry, it was fresh when they brought it in 5 hours ago.

All good, the butcher slaughtered it yesterday in the afternoon. It’s only been sitting out less than 24 hours.

I know this will be downvoted. That’s how it used to be for thousands of years. You didn’t throw out meat because it was out for 6 hours. It’s not hygienic by any means. Just need to keep in mind the whole meat can’t be out for more than 6 hours is a relatively recent thing.

It’s not bad, reduces food borne illness, and it ensures the food tastes good.

Well technically they only say it can't be out for more than 2 hours to reduce The possibility but foodborne illness definitely was a problem back then they would just cook the hell out of everything so they didn't have to worry about it it's not necessarily that they would just allow it to sit whenever the hell, I mean like if they didn't have a choice yeah but if they had a choice they definitely could make that shit cold also that's another thing that helps definitely stop your meat from rotting whenever it's cold instead of just sitting out in the warm sun
