steve_b_wales Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Meat can't 'go off' when frozen. You will probably find that the meat has 'freezer burn' on it, caused by being frozen for too long. It's still perfectly edible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 If it tastes funny feed it to the dog! All depends how well your wrapped it when you put it in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not they could be covered in all sorts of poo and stuff. 10 months it should be fine, defrost it and have a sniff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearandnoidea Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 A couple of years ago my mum cleaned out the deep freeze and found a couple of pheasants at the bottom that had been there for something like 15 years. My parents ate them and no one died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How ironic, a week or so ago I ate a supermarket sandwich that was 1 day out of date and the universe fell out of my **** for 2 days, I nearly got turned inside out.

covlocks Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Meat can't 'go off' when frozen Yes it can. Thats why there is a limit on how long you can keep some meats. The bacteria growth is slowed down - not stopped. ......and 15 years before someone saw they has some birds at the bottom of a freezer, then ate them - definately a shaggy dog story, or they need a serious lesson in freezer hygene.

Ricko Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 I ate a brace from the start of last years season last week. Put them in a pie with a nice gravy, tasted lovely. They were about 10 months old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulABF Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Were they dead when you put them in there? How many people do you know that routinely place live animals in their deep freeze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIN IT M8 - As you know my lass (the wife) works at a freezer store. Take it from me M8 BIN IT & don’t give it to the dogs that would be animal cruelty. Nearly as bad as putting them in the freezer when they were alive. Can get you Freshly killed RABBITS or PIGEONS and now the game season is upon us even DUCK & PHEASANT is avaiable but cant get you these as easy as the latta.
