Guest my usernames always really suck Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Puget Sound Style clam chowder with bacon. Shelf life, expired last year in August. It's always been in the freezer, though, so I'd like to think it's safe to cook and eat. Is it safe? What are the risks? What bacterial activity could take place in the freezing temperatures this chowder has been in such that it might be too dangerous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Franklin Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 why take ANY risk dude? they do put the shelf life on there for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my usernames always really suck Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 why take ANY risk dude? they do put the shelf life on there for a reason I do know, though, that the shelf dates are extremely conservative, sometimes unrealistically so. The fact this is seafood is the only reason I'm being cautious, because seafood food poisoning tends to be nastier and more violent than food poisoning from, say, an undercooked pizza. I can and have handled the latter type of food poisoning just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest abusivegeorge Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Be sure to defrost this thoroughly in a luke warm bowl of water first and cook for just half the recommended time. when did you buy it? is it canned? Do you put canned stuff in the freezer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Strike Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think you should do it. But only if you relentlessly WATMM the results of your ill advised endeavour from your hospital ward, where you'll be shitpuking out the last remnants of your internal organs. Year and a half old seafood dude!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylonbitch Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 when did you buy it? is it canned? Do you put canned stuff in the freezer? it's not a great idea, but neither is eating shellfish beyond its date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my usernames always really suck Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 when did you buy it? is it canned? Not canned, it's packaged in an air-tight bag, and the bag came in a cardboard box. Be sure to defrost this thoroughly in a luke warm bowl of water first and cook for just half the recommended time. Why do it differently than the instructions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylonbitch Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 i wouldn't touch it, but i trained as a chef, and saw all the health and safety vids. john carpenter would have a long way to go to turn my stomach like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hmmm, I wouldn't if I were you, but this could result in a good story if you eat it and live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 the expiration date is probably only relevant if you didn't freeze it. If you are confident about the integrity of your freezer for the last year and a half then I would encourage you to feast upon this aged dish.

Guest my usernames always really suck Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I just checked various websites and since everything on the Internet is true, the longest safe time for frozen shellfish is 3 months... so... I should've eaten this stuff, at latest, in mid-December. God damn, the local grocer doesn't sell this clam chowder anymore, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
