You can eat whatever you like from your freezer over whatever time frame. It's just going to suck if it's been more than 3-6 months especially if you are using a freezer that opens like a door. The solution to this isn't complain about the corporations trying to gently caress you, the solution is don't buy more than you want to eat drunk on the power of forever-freezer.

Over the last two weeks I ate a bag a rhubarb from the back of my freezer that said it expired in 2017. Was perfectly fine outside of having coalesced a bunch of ice I had to boil off while making raspberry rhubarb sauces for my pancakes.

Provided it’s been frozen properly it’s years. Honest to god this is like the conversation I had with my Nan who didn’t want to accept she’d been throwing away perfectly good food for decades. Check out the use by date on supermarket own brand veg for example, it will be at least 2 years in the future, where as your Birdseye will be a year, both dates are pulled out of thin air - so long as the bag does not stick to the side of anything and you don’t keep opening and closing the door so ice builds up and they end up entombed Everything will be fine.

So yes, in conditions that are as close to ideal as possible, food will be totally fine and safe to consume for years and years in your freezer. Almost no one is keeping the food in their home freezer to those conditions. When it comes to frozen food, thaw it out. Cut off the weird bits, hope for the best. It probably won't kill you, it might taste loving awful. And always, always thaw it safely. Freezer conditions mean jack poo poo when you thaw it on the counter for 10 hours.

I don't debate everything in your freezer is going to be edible forever. I just don't know who that helps. As an emergency store it's the most vulnerable to emergency conditions. I'd rather be working with ancient pantry goods than frozen stuff if I was in a suddenly food insecure position. More generally to look at the food security phenomenon where edible food is thrown out for being past date and see the solution being "have people eat it, it's edible duh" is a very repent for my bad behaviors attitude. The food insecure already do this because they get the seconds anyway or else have no choice of what to eat that night. For someone with food security, you already did your damage to the supply chain at the time of purchase. Eating it may give you some small balance, but know any overpurchase of food is damaging to a food supply chain from a security point of view and the damage is done at the time of purchase. In a rational supply chain, even an aggressively fresh BBD should be a benefit from avoiding over purchases. It's a free time box for you to plan your consumption around. In their absence you should be thinking about what your own BBD will be. It's easy to have an answer to this because it's food, it's meant to turnover because you eat it and poo poo it out. Emergency staples are important but I am in hurricane territory so my emergency staples better be immune to power outages. Hence I focus on dry pantry goods instead of frozen. Unfortunately we don't have a rational supply chain and instead have a bunch of people mad with power from cheese coupons so sure eat your freeze dried cheese.

I have a chest freezer because I’m genuinely poor and it’s cheaper to run the freezer and only buy things in season, or fresh at a massively reduced price because they are at the end date, and freeze them, than it is to shop like a normal person. You use a massive chest freezer for this because existing for a week on one thing you found dirt cheap, like pizzas at 10p each is depressing as chuff. My Nan grew her own food and was unbelievably pissed off when she found out that throwing hedgerow blackberries out after three months was bullshit.

The damage might be done at purchase time for that specific product, but the damage at purchase time of the next one, and every purchase thereafter, is not yet done, and eating perfectly good food instead of throwing it away will, in fact, reduce how much you purchase.

wtf is this "actually, freezer burn isn't real" "yeah, we keep scientific reagents frozen forever" like the fuckin conditions for storing scientific samples are at all comparable to a kitchen freezer, there's a reason you can't keep your sperm samples by just chucking them in the freezer and have to use a facility to do it I have had huge amounts of meat go bad because it's in the freezer for a long-rear end time, it get a bunch of fuzzy ice crystals on it and the parts that have that get dried out with a significant texture change edit: "man I don't know why people just refuse to accept how wrong they are" maybe it's because of the number of times I've tried to thaw a pound of beef and ended up with two ounces of usable stuff and a big wad of crispy freeze-dried bullshit that you can snap in your hands John Lee has a new favorite as of 20:05 on Mar 24, 2021 |

Phosphine posted:The damage might be done at purchase time for that specific product, but the damage at purchase time of the next one, and every purchase thereafter, is not yet done, and eating perfectly good food instead of throwing it away will, in fact, reduce how much you purchase. So one says I am doing my part to reduce demand by choking down my pea icecube. But here's why I say that's a partial victory. This is still overconsumption because those peas stay in your freezer for 3 years for no real value to yourself. Do you buy and replace those peas? Why did they wait around 3 years then. Do you eat them and don't replace, in lieu of other groceries? That time spent in the freezer was a total waste for you and the peas. On the flip side 3 years ago, purchasing those frozen peas entered you infinitesimally into a huge array of supply chain replenishment calculations from grocery store suppliers to pea futures trading. Through no will or want of your own you became a pea consumer and expected to repeat buy peas because food is consumable. Boundless capitalism optimism now direct frozen peas your way. Not being in an intimate relationship with the pea supply chain you can't tell them no those are my backup peas and your demand remains a possibility twinkling in the eye of the pea capitalists who think you are a better mark than the lower margin insecure markets. I don't want perfection to be the enemy of useful here. If you have pea icecubes you need to eat and you're willing to eat them, thank you. But please remember the true changes come from not buying peas you do not need.

I’m the one with food insecurity though? How is me preventing a block of 25p cheese from being wasted by grating and freezing it causing more food waste? I was never going to buy that same block of cheese at £4, I was just going to eat less food, so therefore me getting it from the discount fridge does not change demand and supply.

Big Audio Dynamite was formed by Mick Jones after getting kicked out of The Clash, which he co-founded. One of BAD's biggest songs was The Globe. The song samples The Clash's Should I Stay or Should I Go?, including the high-pitched "WOO!" sample, but follows it up with Jones saying "bless you" as if the sample was a sneeze. All these years later I've realized that was probably a piss-take on The Clash for kicking him out of his own band.

All these years later I've realized that was probably a piss-take on The Clash for kicking him out of his own band. I mean, the band basically ate itself after Combat Rock was released. Headon was kicked because of his heroin addiction, Terry Chimes then rejoined and quit (again). They bickered all the time after that and no one got along with anyone at that point. They even got into fights with promoters (for overcharging in their opinion) and a physical altercation with venue security for one of their gigs during that time. It really was at a point of either Jones or Strummer goes, and I think Strummer was the bigger draw for the band. As far as I know they all settled down pretty quick and there doesn't seem to be any real animosity. One thing I just learned is that Jones was a founding member of General Public, but left before the first album was finished.

It is named after a red panda yes, but the logo is still a fox. They considered a panda apparently but decided the fox would be more recognizable.

Bis-cuit. Cooked twice. That one's obvious enough, if you speak any French. So is a Tris-cuit cooked... three times? Nope. The name just rolls off the tongue better than "electriscuit"

Because they had air conditioning no windows were allowed to be opened under any circumstances because “the back of my neck gets cold when I’m driving”. They built up a resistance to the stench and fumes, my then 4 year old had not, and vomited all over the back of my mother’s head as she was driving.
