Awesome.

I seem to think there's a sexual inuendo in there. But wouldn't pink taco make more sense?

So per doctors orders, I now eat turkey meat instead of ground beef. Tons better for you, and the taste is virtually the same. Anyway...I was making tacos tonight, and I pulled out a pound of turkey I had frozen. It had completely changed color and was brown -- which I've thought was not good. I asked my roommate, who assured me it was alright. I cooked it, and it smelled a little funny but my roommate insisted it smelled fine. I tried real hard to make sure I wasn't psyching myself out or anything, but I took one bite and felt like it tasted, well bad. I tried to make myself eat one taco but could not do it, so I decided to throw it away. I've been to the can twice in less than an hour.

Did the meat go bad, or am I just paranoid? I'm kind of new to the whole freezing-turkey-in-the-freezer thing.

OK, that's your first lesson -- when meat changes color. When it changes into many colors, that's bad too,

See, that's what I thought too...but it said on the label "good if frozen by this date" and I definitely did freeze it before then. Lawsuit?

And when exactly WAS the frozen by date... even frozen, they do have a shelf life

I hope you don't let the roommate cook for you.

I was thinking bald. Nothing like a plain taco.

Use your nose.

If beef, chicken, pork or fish stink, don't eat it. Period.

It could have thawed out a bit at some point in your freezer, too.
