I found some bacon in my freezer, it said “best if used by Nov 2009” So maybe it won’t be the “best” if I eat it tonight, but it’ll still be pretty good right? Bacon doesn’t go bad, does it?

It is fine (assuming it was in your freezer the entire time). I had some chicken that was in the freezer for almost 3 years... it was fine.

It should be "fine" from a safety/bacteria/food nasties standpoint, but it has probably lost a LOT in terms of texture, nutrition, etc. Is it freezer-burned beyond recognition? If so it will probably taste not-so-good.

If it is in a traditional fridge/freezer, I would toss it. If it was in a stand alone commercial grade freezer, then I'd probably give cooking it a try.
FoodSafety.gov says bacon quality begins to deteriorate after a month in the freezer!

Hey Taxman how often do you clean your freezer ? Did you find Hoffa's body in there maybe ?

Arch, I laughed at your photo when you posted it, but my new Paleo cookbook tells you to do that bacon basket weave, cut it into 'bread' and use it for a blt.. Gotta say I'm tempted.

Huh. My sons would love that! I'm unfortunately going through a phase where the smell of bacon makes me feel sick. When the boys were away, I may have overdone it with the bacon a little bit. So how do you like the Paleo diet? Are you feeling better?

I don't do exactly Paleo. I have just been exploring what my body likes and doesn't. I seem to have a more sensitive system than most. I get it from my mother. Sigh. But as my body keeps rejecting grains, Paleo offers some unique options. Like raw offers some good ideas for no/ low dairy. I have lots of different cookbooks Unfortunately I'm not sure about bacon yet I've had some mixed reactions, but occasional nitrate free seems ok. Next time I try it will be a blt i do feel much better generally speaking thanks.

We recently tried to grill some steaks that had been frozen in our deep freezer for about 3-4 years (they had gotten lost from when we bought 1/2 a cow). DD took one bite and complained it tasted like fish. I tried it and immediately spit it out and told her I'd make something else. DH ate his entire steak and lived (he hates to waste food).

I have a pork tenderloin that is probably 3 years old. Its been in the coldest part of the freezer, but I'm sure would taste awful if I defrosted and cooked it. I best toss it.

I was wondering. But assumed you lived.
