i have frozen bacon in my freezer that's like > 2 years old... safe to thaw n eat?

The better question is what kind of man leaves bacon in his freezer for two years?

Best question: why would anyone put it in the freezer in the first place? The stuff has a shelf life of almost forever in the refrigerator (at least 2 months)

I've eaten a lot of stuff forgotten in people's freezers.

Not a lot to it they say "hey man this round roast was in my freezer when I moved in".

I said "why didn't you eat it"

They say "it's too old"

Then i eat it and feel great and make $20 bucks off the bet that i wouldn't get sick from eating it.

If you don't eat it I will.

i do. well i did. we got half a pig (shit loads of bacon! wrapped in 1lb butcher wrap and flash frozen) and stuck it in a freezer. we couldnt eat all that in a year heh

oh and bacon from a butcher (even frozen 8 months) is far greater then any store shit i have gotten.

I'd eat it

Good point. Other than the case of purchasing bulk pork (roughly the size of a 6 cylinder engine block > the size of an alternator) I can't see a reason to freeze bacon.

I wasn't too fond of our bacon we had done up from our pig, at least not the regular bacon. The Canadian bacon was incredible though.
