*shudder* Raw pig in a fridge just makes me feel yucky.But the kielbasa in your cold dead hand? That's funny.

And that's why I don't cook.

Ha! This morning I looked at a pound of ground beef I thawed six days ago and made the final decision to toss it since it never made it into that taco salad I had planned. Pork? Four days.

All I'm saying is this. Whenever I hear, "It'll be alright." I run. That's a red flag for DON'T DO IT!Good call on throwing out the meat.Emily

Ha! I knew it! Thanks, people. I felt like sausage and tomato manicotti anyway.

You made the right call. After my weekend-long VomitFest™ last year, I'm super aware of all the dates mentioned above -- sell by, time spent frozen, time spent in fridge.$4 in tossed pork is a bargain insurance policy against a weekend playing OK EVERYONE OUT! with your G.I.

Your other readers are way more scientific than I am, but I say chunk it. Just. Ew. Throw it away.

I actually had to take a food safety course when I used to work at the school cafeteria. (fun times.) :-( Anyway, the rule of thumb is "no more than 4 days in the fridge." I would have chunked it too.Little tip: "When in doubt, throw it out." :-)

In our house it depends on a few variables. First, how long was the pork in the fridge prior to getting to the freezer (our deep freeze is in the basement). Second, how close to the sell by date was the pork when I bought it, since I am the queen of meat on 95% discount because its about to actually start stinking up the store. Third, does it stink? Fourth, how much do I really feel like
