Not so fresh meat

Being a cheap bastard, I hate throwing food away. So, I became aware
of a method of dealing with not so fresh meat, so that it does not
need to be thrown away or fed to the chickens.

Suppose that you have some not so fresh meat: a week old rotisserie
chicken, deli meat etc. It is not yet stinky, but it is not appetising
and maybe somewhat mushy on the edges, but barely.

Here's what one can do:

1. Cut away the really bad parts and feed those to the chickens or
throw away.

2. Grind the rest in a meat grinder, or cut in small pieces, and refry
with onions and garlic. Do it thoroughly, at some point add some water
to the pan and cover it to simmer. It should all he heated to at least
the boiling point of water.

3. At the same time, cook some buckwheat cereal or some other such hot
cereal, such as whole grain hot cereal made from simply whole
grains. Low carbers may cook less of it than others. This hot cereal
should be grainy, otherwise it will taste strange when mixed with meat.

4. After cooking that hot cereal, mix it with the meat and fry on the
frying pan just a bit more time, to get unneeded moisture out and to
ensure that absolutely all bacteria die.

The result is fairly good tasting food that can be stored in the
fridge rather well for a few days.

After eating 3 month old eggs, I'll grant you a pass on this, Ig :)

that was brave of you (given that you were not sure that 3 month old
eggs can be safe). Anyhow, obviously, when I mentioned is not a way to
cook spoiled meat, just "not fresh" meat.

A method used in some 3rd world countries is to overseason the meat with hot
spices.  That way the you can't taste if it is bad meat or not.  ;/

Also, I believe that spices are used to preserve meat, as well.

My method not only adds the taste of onion and garlic to improve
taste, but it also kills all bacteria due to thorough frying.

Hmm. Well... WHen I was in Alaska I ate a grip of moose and caribou
meat. Moose is very mild. I liken it to beef that has been aged a
little longer and it is really good. As for the caribou, it was
stronger and I did season it with lots of spice. I made burger out of
most of it and seasoned it with taco seasoning. We just bought a half
beef right before the prices went up and there have been times I
thawed a steak out and didnt eat it for a few days. I find it smells
strong but if you rinse it, trim the excess fat off of it, and cook it
well, you wont tell the diff from a freshly thawed one. Ya cant rinse
burger so season it. It wont kill you.............. As for the egg
thing with Roger,,,,, when I was in Alaska if you were lucky enough to
have a fridge in the remote area I lived in, it was a small one and
some still had the funky motor that sat on top of it like from the
50's. Well you didnt waste space. I never refrigerated my eggs. They
were fine. But....................DONT EAT ANY CRACKED ONES!!! As long
as the shell was intact they were fine.

Hell, they do it right here in the supermarkets of the good old USA
sometimes. It's called marinated meat with that red looking rub on it.

Yikes, ig, you're braver than I am.  I wouldn't have anything to do
with meat that was past its sell by date.  I hope you don't get
anything nasty from doing this - and yes, I have noted the bit about
heating it to a high temperature.

Each to their own.

I believe that the procedure that I described is very safe -- if your
olfactory sense is working.

I'm not cheap and not a bastard either but I have a strong
aversion to throwing any food away.

That's one of the reasons I keep cats and dogs.

I am curious, are your cats and dogs able to tell spoiled food and
refuse it?

I have two chickens for a similar reason.

Cats are usually pretty good at spotting rotten food and avoiding it. On the
other hand, dogs will just eat anything you throw at them (red pepper,
chewing gum, firecracker...), and then wonder if it's actually edible.

Princess, similar things can be done with not so fresh vegetables or
bread. Meat is not an exception and is not the only thing that can be
recooked when it becomes stale.

The heat will kill the bacteria but not the toxins the bacteria created.
   I wouldn't take that chance with my family.

The meat that you start off with, is not supposed to be spoiled,
merely not tasty anymore.
