harrycatcat1 Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 JKD in a previous post identified in some detail what is in his freezer. Got me thinking what's in ours? It's mainly fish, big bag of haddock, prawns, mussels. Meat wise, sirloin joints, steaksย sausages etc can't think of much else๐ค What's in yours?

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Muntjac, curries, chicken, beef, prawns, fish, fish fingers, naan breads, some of the dreaded oven chips and loads of stuff for the air fryer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Lots of meals (e.g. curries, meat dishes, caseroles, veggies, home made burgers, cooked sausages) that I have cooked in batches, frozen in portion sized vac packs (done in silicone rubber trays for curries and caseroles, and when frozen, turned out as a 'block' and vac packed).ย Also a small selection of 'shop bought' ready to cook items, frozen peas, fish fingers, kippers and other favourites.ย In season, pheasant breasts vac packed, but all last seasons used up.

marsh man Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 I can't be the only homeowner with two freezers surelyย , I can tell you exactly what is in mine , it's Pigeons and even more Pigeons, and tucked away somewhere are two drake Teal , what is in the household one ? , after deep thought I haven't got a clue but no doubt there are several items that are that old they were bought with shillings and pence or got free with Green Shield Stamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan123shooting Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 In my prep room freezer, various cuts or venison (Roe, CWD and muntjac) jointed rabbits, diced hare, pheasant breasts. Pigeon crowns, some oven ready partridge , bags of diced apples various other fruit from the garden, also a couple of muntjac heads waiting to be prepped. The inside freezer is the wifeโs domain, I know there are various types of venison burgers in there and the usual frozen consumables( peas, chips etc.)ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are differences between deer, finding muntjac on general sale is difficult as butchers find too much work for the profit, which is a shame as I find the taste exceptional, Chinese shot over arable land is again superb and make the most excellent burgers. Roe loin wellington beats beef wellington hands down. Most of the supermarket venison is either Fallow ย or Red I believe, rarely wildย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Iย have got 3 freezers for dog and ferrets food , there's raw mince , a jointed roe, pigeons , a jay, a magpie , crows ,rooks , jackdawsย , pheasants , ducks partridgesย a few roe heads and legs, rabbitsย ,squirrelsย cockerels and chicken wings a couple of pouches of cat food i usually buy bread between 10p and 30 pence a loaf and store them in there tooย ย and i am sure there's still stuff in the bottom i don't know about i keep meaning to defrost them and clean them out but i usually get a phone call do you want ? and i try never to knock them back . There's a fridge freezer in the house but i am not supposed to touch that with my stuff but sometimes i need a overflow LOLย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Talking freezers and what you have in them, does anyone vacuum seal their raw/cooked meat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Yes.ย I vacuum seal a lot. Cooked leftovers/extras from batch cooking (like ready cooked sausages, home made burgers, stuffed bacon wrapped chicken breasts etc.) Fresh seasonal veggies and fruits (stewed first) Curries, casseroles, stews Some baked products (e.g. pasties), but not very successful as you have to be really 'light' with the vacuum. Where the food is liquid/semi-liquid (curries, casseroles, stews, mashed veggies like swede, soups and sauces), I freeze it in a silicone rubber tray to make a one portion sized frozen 'cube', then peel the frozen cube out ofthe silicone tray and vac pac it.ย Works very well. Pies, I don't vac seal, but size to be a close fit in Lock and Lock containers. Edited October 22, 2023 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An 80's carp angling joke. When you came through the tunnel from the fair county of Essex in to Kent, your used to be able to see the chalk in the land. Kent and in particular the Dartford area (Darenth, Sutton at Hone, Horton Kirby, Brooklands) was an area of innovation for carp angling; casein is a milk protein that was used extensively as an ingredient in carp bait. Casein is white as is the chalk.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
