I once received a package of homemade sweet potato latkes in the mail; it took three days for them to arrive and I, not knowing the contents, didn’t open the package immediately. When I did, the latkes were mushy, greasy, and likely contaminated with food poisoning. Needless to say, despite my guilt at throwing out a gift lovingly made by hand, I didn’t eat them.
