Would you eat it?

Need to lose some weight?

I'd like to move 5 from my belly to my quads, but I'm good with the overall number.

Fully cooked, smoked and sealed. I say go for it. Smoking was discovered millenia ago to preserve meat.

Yup. In a cool post office warehouse and sealed. Would eat.

I mean, rank meat smells. If it smells odd, that’s your answer.

I have an unopened pack of Hebrew National franks in the fridge.

It feels like a lunchtime grilling day.

I think I bought them sometime last July. They say they expired around November.

They look ok, I mean what's the worst that could happen?

Oh, man, I wouldn't risk it. Safety first, buddy! 🌭

absolutely! I love me some smoked meat. As long as it's fully cooked and properly sealed, I'd dig right in without a second thought.

That's why they invented hot chiles in the southwest and why spices were so valuable in the middle ages--covering the taste of rotten meat. Throwing it out was a luxury people couldn't afford.

I agree. if those franks are still in his fridge since 2017 probably time to throw them out. And if they were still good that would worry me more.

That's a good-running freezer, 27 years with no problems, that's the one I want.

That lasagna has enough preservatives to last centuries. Go ahead and eat it. It can't be any worse than it was to start with.

It's a classic.

It's a classic.

Literally. *chef's kiss*

Szechuanese hot pot stock base, brought home from China in about 2017. It says 2017.05.11 on the back, but no indication if that's a production date or a "best by" date. We ate one in about 2019 and it was great. It's sealed and is basically oil, salt, and chili. I'm thinking it's fine, what do you think?

Looks like the original bag of covid

[dan_pdx]

It's military grade spicy shit, if covid was tough enough to survive in there it would have had a 90% mortality rate.

If it’s going to boil, as long as it looks and tastes ok it should be plenty safe.

I ate it.

Is that terrazzo or your teeth?

Cleaned out and defrosted my parents chest freezer when I was home. A bunch of meat (chicken, bacon, sausage, pork, ground beef) had been portioned into unlabeled, undated ziplock bags. Of the few things in original packaging some of the dates went back as far as 2009 to 2011 including some bagels and buns. So I'm guessing a lot of the ziplock bagged meat was similar age. Freezer was so stuffed you couldn't access anything without removing a bunch on top, so it's no surprise stuff lower down was very old. Only stuff at or near the top was being taken out to eat.

I tossed what looked freezer burned (dried out) or color was off, and tossed all the old baked goods. We ate some bacon and sausage and I'd say both looked ok but tasted a little off. So I threw a bunch more of that stuff out. Lots of other old stuff in there too like frozen berries and cabbage rolls. I threw enough out that you can access almost everything that's left.

Would you eat this stuff or toss it?
