Mailing food?

[jmcoreymv]

My friend wants me to mail him food from this restaurant down in SoCal up to Berkeley. Its from a hole in the wall mexican food restaurant. The food consists of fries with cheese, steak and optionally guacamole, sour cream, salsa on it. Is it viable to mail this to him?

Somehow I don't think so.

I suppose if it were in properly sealed containers mailed overnight in dry ice?

even if you overnighted it, it'd still be pretty nasty by the time your friend gets it.

Maybe if you freeze it solid with dry ice.

Sounds like a bad idea... but if he is paying for it...

Only if you want your firend to die.

Freezing it might make it taste worse 😛

Put it in some plastica containers, get it really cold (not quite freezing), then ship it out with some dry ice overnight. Should get there tasting somewhat close.....


But... why?

i don't think its gonna work. even if he doesn't get sick, it will still taste nasty.

Looks like fedex can same day it to him in its own minivan for a mere 720 bucks 🙂

Don't be dumb, you know you wouldn't pay that much money to send something like that

What restaurant over here is worth that trouble? LBJ? Alfredo's?

guacamole doesn't keep. you make it, you eat it. so.. no guacamole. fries don't reheat well..

no. this is a bad idea. some foods, it's feasable.. but.. these are not those foods.
