Six year old beef lurking in the freezer.

I’d defrost it, cook it and donate it to a deserving cat or dog.

We used to eat meat. My favorite way to cook "too long frozen" beef is Ropa Vieja. Easy, long cooking, flavorful.

That is assuming your freezer was at -18C for all that time, of course 🙂

I’d cook it, but not for guests as whilst it should be perfectly safe to eat, the texture and maybe taste will have deteriorated. I don’t throw any food away unless it’s growing a fur coat!

Agreed. Stew it slow and long rather than roast.

I'd do that too but I'd make sure I had egg and chips on standby in case!

Gosh! I’d just eat it. Wasn’t there a story a long time ago about people finding a mammoth frozen and they were so hungry they ate it?

I would cook it slowly too. I cooked and ate something of a similar age recently also found at the back of the outside freezer; we were fine.

Could you play safe and donate it to a local wild life sanctuary rather than throwing it away?

Definitely not got a fur coat🤣

I'd throw it out Llamedos. It might look, smell and taste OK when cooked but you wont know for sure unless you eat it.
