would you eat....

A whole plaice that's been in the freezer since November?

Yes? Why wouldn't you?

if it's in the freezer I probably would. I seem to be super fussy with things in the fridge (throwing them away too soon maybe) but then I go to the other extreme with things in freezer, assuming (wrongly I'm sure) that they last forever.

I wouldn't want to eat a whole plaice, but "been in the freezer since November" would not bother me.

Yep.

I'm not exactly bothered about sell by dates etc mind...

Yes, can't see why not.

Yes.

Yes

I have a 2 year old bolognase in my freezer that I will probably still eat at a push

Yes, I think in a freezer it's fine indefinitely.

Yes. I've got stuff that's been in there longer we're plodding our way through.

Yes

Yep

Yes, I've got stuff in my freezer that's been there years that I'd happily get out and eat.

Of course! I can't think why you wouldnt- unless it was inappropriately frozen and is now freezer burnt?

Yep! Not even close to when I would start getting concerned.

The texture/quality might be compromised but I wouldn't think there would be a safety issue

Definitely.

To be honest, I never think about how long stuff has been in the freezer. We defrost ours every two years, so I guess that means de facto nothing ends up being frozen longer than that.

Definitely! We've eaten stuff that's getting on for a year old before. All that happens is it maybe loses flavour a bit but it's still perfectly edible.

Thank you. I'll eat it. I thought it'd be fine but DP is unsure.
