Mystery meal….any ideas?

I am trying to get my main freezer down, usually I’m organised and everything is labelled.
However this unappetising looking bag is full of what will be our supper tomorrow evening.
I count see any carrots so it’s unlikely to be a chicken or pheasant casserole, there isn’t a curry odour and I can’t remember the last time I made a beef casserole.
Whatever it is it will be eaten.

Oops forgot the photo

Chuck it all in a pan and saute it with a little oil, then make a big curry.

I'm not much of a cook!

Apple crumble

This made me smile Sago - I have done this, insisting that I don’t need to label things because I’ll remember….🥴

I usually wait til fully defrosted, taste, then serve with rice, pasta or salad!

Maybe chicken?

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 25-Jan-24 18:02:52

Whatever it is, it doesn’t look very big. I’m inclined to agree with Rosies.

Sorry no idea from the photo.

I don't always label everything either and a few days ago we had a chilli pasta. Mr A put the chilli to defrost in the fridge thinking it was a pasta sauce. I'd already started the pasta cooking before I saw the kidney beans and realised what had happened 😀

Stuff like that I chuck. Or give to cats. Sorry.
Had bad food poisoning/bad water. I dont know what exactly, a bug brought back from a different country the doctor reckoned, several months ago.
All took 6 months to recover from.

I am much more wary now, of anything remotely dubious.

Just because it is unlabelled doesn't mean it's dubious!

Looks like frozen beef.

Pammie1 Thu 25-Jan-24 19:06:50

Another vote for something with chicken.

Pammie1 Thu 25-Jan-24 19:07:44

Just enlarged the photo. Could it be fish ?

AskAlice Thu 25-Jan-24 19:09:00

It looks like some sort of chicken dish to me. I'd heat it thoroughly and then see how it smells/looks. If in doubt, don't! Cheese on toast would be my alternative, with brown sauce on top grin

mumofmadboys Thu 25-Jan-24 19:14:50

Are you going to tell us what it was Sago?

Primrose53 Thu 25-Jan-24 19:19:13

In the bin! 🤣

valdavi Thu 25-Jan-24 19:29:18

My husband used to keep fishing bait in the freezer, unlabelled. Some of it wasn't something you'd want to defrost & serve with rice by mistake! I would try to use it but be prepared to substitute an omlette or something if I couldn't identify it once it was cooking

Susiewong65 Thu 25-Jan-24 19:49:46

Voila… it’s freezer surprise!

I will tell you all as soon as I know, as it’s defrosting it looks as though there could be some whole grain mustard in there.
I’m thinking mash and peas as an accompaniment but it could be anything.

JamesandJon33 Thu 25-Jan-24 20:00:42

It’s a UFO……unidentified frozen object .

flappergirl Thu 25-Jan-24 20:11:37

Sorry but I would put it in the bin or out for the fox and default to a toasted cheese sandwich.

We once had freezer surprise in the form of rhubarb pie with veg and gravy !! I was 100% certain it was steak and mushroom pie until I served it up. Needless to say the labelling process got much better after that !!

Pork springs to mind if there’s wholegrain mustard in there.

mumofmadboys Thu 25-Jan-24 20:21:24

I expect Sago will shortly realise what it is!

This could be a Eureka moment, not thought of pork!
I have made a pork and mustard recipe before.
Thank you.
I will confirm tomorrow and send you a virtual reward!
