Would you eat a ham thats been frozen for 3+ years straight

[Twista]

So im wondering if its still good? Its been in our 2nd freezer for 3+ years. Would you take the risk?

 

[mercanucaribe]

Yes

 

[BUrassler]

Nope

 

[D1gger]

Yes, yes I would. What time should I come over?

what's the worst that can happen? Your colon gets a good purging? Doesn't sound too bad. Just hope you're up to date on your Readers' Digest.

Frozen ham gets better with age.

It's fine. My grandmother ate a wedding cake that was frozen for 17 years. She's still alive.

Don't be a pig.

Looking @ this source suggests eatting it way before 5+ months- http://www.hormel.com/templates/knowledge/knowledge.asp?catitemid=105&id=745

I thought the general rule was 1 year on frozen meat. No way would I chance near death over a hunk of meat.

Bah, if it's truly been frozen solid, it's FINE. A true deep freezer (the kind you keep in the garage or wherever) gets a lot colder than the freezer part of the refrigerator. I've eaten steak and chicken that was in the freezer part of the fridge for 7-8 months before. Didn't taste any different than fresh meat and I didn't get ill.

Defrost that piggy and look at it. If it looks normal, eat it. If it's got a lot of freezer burn (whiteness around the edges) throw it away. I'll bet it's fine eatin'.

No

 

[Lonyo]

No.
But then I wouldn't eat a fresh ham either.

 

[dsity]

your grandma MADE HAM? oh ******.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

it's not gonna kill you, but don't expect it to be great either. I wouldn't do it, but I'm picky

 

[schneiderguy]

feed a little bit to a dog or other pet first. if the pet doesnt die you can eat it.
