I bought some oxtail for a casserole on 22 October, popped them in my () ice box and meant to put them in the main freezer later that day. They're still in my ice box.
The meat is frozen but I can dig my nail into the fat; it all smells fine (I haven't defrosted it yet). Wikipedia says a 1 freezer can store pre-frozen food for up to a week, the oxtail wasn't pre-frozen.
Would you cook with it (assuming once it's defrosted it still smells OK)?
