in reply to Spaghetti code...

Even with spaghetti costing over a dollar a pound you still don't want to straighten it all out, clean it all up, check each strand, and put it in a new package; because no matter how well you do all that it still won't be like new. Thank you for not making that an option.

Backing away is a cowardly, or sensible, reaction.

If that is not possible refrigeration is needed.

If it is beyond freezing, throw it out with the moldy quacamole.

Only serious.

Be well,
