I have a huge loin joint that I have been keeping for a big family do.  I reckon it has been in the freezer, ( very cold setting - really decent freezer) for way over the recommended time - we've always ended up having something else, chickens, turkeys, gammon etc
What do you reckon...... Can I use it?

well i would things lurk in my freezer or a long time and still cook up fine!!!

Agree with Bloomer so long as its been well wrapped and you thaw it out correctly theres no reason not to use it, we're still eating sausages we had made in january by our butcher according to his freezer dates on the packs they should have gone by April and i ain't dead yet  
Roast a la delia with prune stuffed apples   Remember the drier the skin the better the crackling   salivating think i'll get a leg out for sunday dinner this weekend.
Enjoy

   I'd better get this joint out now then. It is going to take ages to thaw! It is gigantic!

We have found joints at the bottom of the freezer 4 years old, nothing wrong with it. Enjoy your joint.

Yep!  Me too - in fact, I am now going to get one out to defrost too! Yum!  Roast pork

:roflanim:Flipin eck and there's me too ashamed to mention that this joint is about 2 yrs old!

[Womble]

Definitely don't eat it Mrs S. Sent it round to me for free disposal  .

We emptied the hugh chest freezer last week and found all sorts of joints in the bottom  we had a lovely joint of lamb yesterday that had  been in there at least 2-3 years as it was from an old neighbours shetlands and they where sold 2 years ago
Definatly eat it

I wouldn't eat commercial pork (shop / supermarket) that'd been in the freezer that long, but if it was my own and frozen correctly very quickly after butchering I most certainly would.  And in fact very recently did 

[Mrs Snoodles]

...and there was me dithering like hell  over it!

Don't blame you Mrs Snoodles......can't be too careful. Don't think we are a million miles away so if you need a second opinion feel free to give us a shout. Usually about around Sunday lunch time

Joints that have been in the freezer that long can be difficult to light.

And if it's that big you could have a TAS party!
