I think I ate C-rations older than that back in the Army in the 70s.
If one school deemed the meat bad (based on the date and appearance) and then distributed it to other schools without warning, that is a crime of knowingly serving tainted food to children.
A little gravy and some greens. No problem.
dems trying to get everyone use to having less... because in the progressive future, the govt provides all... meaning you must appease your masters or get nothing.
We date game and freeze it. I have kept deer for up to 3 years and if vacuum packed well is ‘fresh’ when thawed a sharpie pen is your friend. When I get a freezer burned piece I skin off the burnt part and cook the good part (sniff test) for the dogs. Haven’t lost a dog yet.
Been using a vacuum sealer for about a decade. But before that I had a trick using ziplock freezer bags. You fill a bucket around 3/4 the way up with cool water and submerge the bagged meat leaving a small end of the ziplock open. The water pressure will collapse all the air out of the bag and with the zipper at the waters edge have a helper finish the sealing. Watched Jimmy Huston do this with fish on TV. Works well
Did anyone get sick, did anyone complain about the taste, not now that they know, but when the meat was cooked and served?
Just so I’m clear - the school doesn’t empty out its freezer between school years, but instead keeps them running all summer long for no particular reason?
“Did the poor little six year old get a chance to beg for his life? Or was just a surprise to him?”
Just a first grader, poor thing. It would be much more rational to assign a few middle schoolers to this “extra special lunch duty,” then tell the others that they’re next if they mis-behave. It MIGHT get them to act almost human for a while at least.
Family funny story...
We had a GREAT MOM.
Mom ONCE made scrambled eggs and brains...we wouldn’t eat it
...dog wouldn’t eat it...Ha.
the concoction ...had a very metallic smell.
Your mom was a Zombie?!
“I think I ate C-rations older than that back in the Army in the 70s.”
One thing I never figured out was how the potato crackers managed to get moldy, inside a sealed can.
‘Twas pork............
Well, I’m surprised the dog wouldn’t eat it. I’d don’t know about brains, but dogs love eggs, and protein in almost any degraded form.
My story is that I was in my poor days some 45 years ago, and I went to a store in Maine and bought some cheese, which looked like a block of cheddar, was inexpensive, and named “Pretendere.” Pretendere it was... the first bite was kind of cheesy tasting, but after that, it was just chemically weird. I’m amazed they were able to sell it.
So, I tossed it to the dog, a big Lab/Golden mix, who wasn’t particularly fussy about people food. He gave it a sniff, turned away, and went to sleep. After that, I knew, and threw it away.
Horsecock for midrats!..............those were the days..................
The storage times are for quality only..
We had a dog once that would eat french fries from Burger King but not from McDonalds................
I have a four year old butterball turkey in the deep freeze.. gladly ship it to ya.. as long as ya sign a release for liability form first. I’ll kick in a 3 year old Oprah pie!! :-)
Seagulls will eat french fries from either. Discerning doggie.
I recently made burgers with three year old beef vacuum sealed. Tasted good.
It was a good joke.... Most of us got it!! LOL
