I don't care how good the pork was wrapped. After six years it's freezer burned. One year tops in the freezer.

Mine is just the refrigerator freezer but now that you mention it, Mother kept food for a long time in her large chest freezer. I don’t think she kept it for years tho.

I was at a small supermarket today and saw two ribeyes which looked about as good as it gets. I would guess not only prime but high end even for prime. They were $7 a pound which is not really high but mmore than I usually pay.

The more I thought about it, the more I wish I had bought them. We need to eat really good sometimes.

It wouldn't be a school lunch if they didn't serve 'Mystery Meat' once in a while.........

And cryogenic brain freezing hopes to do what?

I was born in 1947 and went through school in the usual time.

Our lunchrooms were good. Our high school lunch room was better than good. They made the best rolls you could imagine. They tasted almost as good as they smelled and you could smell that delicious aroma as soon as you neared the lunchroom

The kids who got free meals had to work for them in the cafeteria. Not backbreaking work but not just hanging around either.

I was born in 1950. I usually liked the food too...until the sewers backed up when I was in 5th grade, and we all commented how we could smell to much of those peanut butter cookies.

Never ate ‘em again.

I’ve heard that most meat loses it’s flavor after about a year of being frozen.
After 6 years it tastes like school food.

In a frost-free freezer, yes. In a manual defrost, wrapped in tin foil and then sealed in plastic, I’ve tested it and actually have cooked meat that was 6 years old. I was shocked to find that it was just fine. Pretty good actually.

It just turns out that way.

That is pretty bad. Hubby always laughs at me that I won’t eat “old food”, but I’m still amazed he survived eating some left over spaghetti with clam sauce we had.

We werent’ really together at that time, but he had stopped by and came and picked me up after work. He told me: I finished that spaghetti and clam sauce. I said: You ATE THAT?

Later he cleaned out my fridge for me. Hubby’s the best and he’s got a cast iron stomach!

Just make sure it reaches 165F for 10 seconds and you are good to go. May not taste good but won’t harm you.

You definitely should have scooped those steaks! Nothing like a rib eye, that would be my last meal if I were ever on death row. New england clam choweder, rib eye steak, baked potato and Seabrook farms creamed spinach, some ice cream for desert and maybe a slice of good old New York cheescake, three beers and one good cup of coffee. Now, kill me, I can handle it!

My launch team dug up a c-rat cheese tin near Hanau Germany in 1990. It was dated 1953. My platoon sergeant offered $20 to the troop that ate it. One did.

Back in the 60's and 70's, the cafeterias had a smell similar to slightly overbaked cookies and canned vegetables. Not too appealing. The meat was all generally gray, and the texture was quite suspect. 'Meat-like' would be as close as I could come.

What surprises me is that any government funded entity is serving pork.
