Freezers off at night?!

Even red meat is ok if a little old. When we killed a beast we would hang overnight from the front-end loader before cutting up, and then put into a fridge for a couple of weeks before eating or freezing. It lets the meat rot slightly, which breaks down the fibers in the meat and makes it tender. As soon as something dies (including us) the enzymes in the blood start to break down the body. Thats why we bleed out animals - to slow down this process..

Dry aged meat is great and back home it is common practice for meat to be hung for 28 days at a temperature of 4 degrees. Irish meat is great quality, tender and grass fed, but the extra hanging time really gives it something extra. They couldn't believe it here when i told them.

Never had problem so far with food from 'Chinos', but have been told it is just a myth in most cases. Heard all 'Chinos' are involved in a mafia. Green or Blue are the mafia colours and each shop is one or the other. Wonder is it true ; )
