Old Food--Why Eat It?

cybercat said:

We have a lot of threads about "is this still good? It has been in my
refrigerator for two months, and I am not sure I should eat it."

I don't understand this. I am not wasteful with food, I look at what I have

1. People don't have anything new to say, so they ask an idiotic
question.

2. Some people actually don't know.

3. Some people like to troll.

4. Who knows?

I'm continually amazed by what people don't know that should be just
common sense.

Reallly.

By the way, I have had some fish in my fridge for two weeks and it really
smells bad. Do you think I can still eat it?

I don't understand this. I am not wasteful with food, I look at what I
have in perishables that I need to use up when planning menus, and we eat
up or freeze leftovers before cooking again. But I don't eat cooked foods
that have been in my fridge longer than 4 days max, and I don't keep
uncooked meats in the fridge more than two days. Of any kind. I just don't
WANT old food.

Even if a boiled egg would not kill me after 11 days, I would not want to
eat it because it is not fresh.

Part of the goodness of cooking is that you can have fresh good.

When does blue cheese go bad?

1. When you have to grate it to use it.

2. When you can't tell the difference in the smell between it and a
bottle of ammonia.

That would be the smell what's coming from betwixt yer legs, c-SQUAT, best
hie thee down to Costco and pick up a few gross of barrels of Summer's Eve
or FDS or muratic acid or whatever...or call FEMA, they'll send out a HAZMAT
team.

Some people cook for large numbers of people. Some only cook for one
in or two. In the second case, if they are working with a recipe that
can no longer by "downsized" and still is enough for four days, then
they have two choices. They can ea it for four straight days, or they
can eat some now and leave some for a couple fo weeks later.

I cook for two, sometimes three. I'm in that position a lot, but
I either freeze it or toss it.

Actually a good question since to me fish smells BEFORE you buy it. I
can't stand to walk by the "fresh fish" departments of supermarkets.
Needless to say, I wouldn't have any in my fridge to begin with.

Hey, I got an idea. The athabascans bury fish in the mud for a few
weeks, then dig it out and eat it. It's not as bad as it sounds, since
they only eat the heads. This is not made up. Then there's fish ice
cream, an inuit delicacy. Looks like blueberry ice cream since it has
blueberries in it (sometimes). Unfortunately, it's made from seal oil
and blueberries. If you don't have any dead seals in that
refrigerator, not to despair. You can substitute Crisco. Mmmm. dkw

Do you think your post is funny or clever? Perhaps you should send it to
your mother, sister, or daughter, and ask them what they think.

They'd surely approve of it, knowing it was meant for the likes of

Would you like to hear some good lesbian jokes BTW...???

If the fish smells fishy, it is old and no, don't buy it. A good fish store
smell like the ocean.
