After my bad experience with leaving meat packed in plastic in the fridge too long I was careful to take the meat out of the wrapping and put it on a plate in the fridge.
I've eaten a few slices of it  but it's been there for probably six, seven weeks now.
When I recently wanted to cut off a bit I saw that the meat was quite dried up (which I don't regard as a problem) but the bottom part was moist as I had forgotten to change plates and turn the meat.
Do you think I can just let that dry and it will be ok?
Or should I cut that part off?
Or do I have to discard the whole piece?

And also similarly regarding oysters- how long can they be kept in the fridge?
I've had some oysters in the fridge for a week and ate them with no problem.
But recently I had some after five days. They were quite dried up. They didn't smell weirdly, so I ate them. The taste was not unusual either. But I got sick two days later, but that might have been for a different reason.

Alright.
I couldn't remember RS being discussed here in a context of raw food, that's why I asked. But I'll search again.
I've come across the topic the first time on FreeTheAnimal.

Do you eat the peel of say red beet?

I remember that conventional wisdom says that the 'skin'/peel of vegetables and fruit contains a lot of nutrients (or directly beneath it) and therefore one should eat it.
Intuitively though I prefer not to.

And what about tubers like sweet potatoes?
Do you eat them at all? With or without peel?
And if so how do you prepare them raw?

Thanks for the links, Iguana.

Hi,


yes, great thread.
I'd like to hear your experiences and opinions regarding the following.
Around three weeks ago I had purchased about two kg boneless beef from Brazil.
It was wrapped in plastic. On the tag it said that it was produced on the 12th of December. And then I just saw the date of April 2014 for keeping it. Just today when I unwrapped it did I see the further information "when stored at 0C". But I had stored int in the fridge at the usual temperature, I don't know, 6 or 8C.
I should have taken it out immediately three weeks ago and put it on a plate. I had good experiences with that before, storing the meat for weeks with no problem.
But because my fridge was retty full I didn't do it.
Do you think the meat is still ok? It smelled a  bit when I opened the package but not much after and I think the smell is often there even when opened early on.

What do you make of this?
"It was noted that the incidence on MPB (male pattern baldness) in urban Japan was 4 times higher that that of rural Japan. The author, Dr. Inabi, hypothesized that diet played a major role. In urban Japan, the city dweller have essentially gone to a western diet, meaning more meat, dairy products, and fast foods, not to mention the stress. In rural Japan, he studied that they eat a traditional macrobiotic diet consisting mainly of fish, grains and vegetables, high in 3 and 6 fatty acids."

"One study suggests that both heavy exercise and increased fat intake, in combination, are required for increased free testosterone in strength trainers. Increased total or free testosterone would help them build and repair muscle, but may cause susceptible individuals to lose hair."

Any experiences with storing liver?
I have about 500g of rabbit liver in my fridge for nearly five days and am not so sure about any bad effects.
I also have some beef in there for about 10 days and am not worried about eating that. I've had good experiences with storing meat and fish. I'm not so sure about the liver, though.

So, it's only military planes causing the chemtrails?

A friend of mine is a commercial airline pilot and I asked him. He hasn't heard of it and hasn't been told to release any chemicals.

tehshyt- Do you have a link on the admission of the government here. For sure it wasn't in the media, but that doesn't mean much.

Is your avocado imported or local?
If it was a local avocado I would know point blank if it was still good to eat.
Post pictures.

The avocadoes you can buy in Germany are to 99% imported.

Alright.
Thanks

I got the impression that most members here have no problem with eating mold covered meat.
What is your take on avocado then?
I quite often have discovered much to my dismay that some mold has crept into my yummy hass avocadoes. It's usually at the hole where the stem has been.
Just now for example I cut open an avocado which was 95% fine but just had some whitish mold in a kind of hole at the top of the pulp.
My ex-girlfriend used to scold me when she had found me just cutting off that part and eating the rest. She said that even though you cannot see it the mold is in the whole fruit.

I bought some fish (similar to cod) on Saturday. It's a filet wrapped in paper.
Unfortunately due to dinner invitations, etc. I still couldn't find the time to eat it.
How long do you normally keep your fish? How do you store it?

I guess fish in one piece keeps better. I had also bought a little mackerell which I ate yesterday and it was just delicious.

Still new to the raw eating, so I'm still a bit unsure about some things
