    Just thawed some tesco pork pies, cooked and ate them.

    While cleaning up I noticed the wrapper said "not suitable for home freezing", what happens now?? Is it a death cert??

    You're still alive. Its just false advertising. Sue Tesco. They are suitable for home freezing as you found out. Get loads out of the dirty feckers.

    I put a chicken in the freezer on Thursday, it was supposed to OK for three months.

    Looked in this morning and it was dead.

    Maggots are currently hatching in your stomach, it will be a painful and slow death and all because you didn't bother your hole to read the instructions.

    Was it nice?

    Steve is just coming to the end of doing a very good interview when the interviewer asks, 'could you tell me if you have any weaknesses'?

    Steve: 'Weaknesses? Well, I'm too honest'.

    Interviewer: 'I don't think honesty is a weakness'.

    Steve: 'I don't give a fuck what you think'.

    They don't have a use by date, just instructions that they must be disposed of by burying under a ton of concrete.

    It means the stuff was previously frozen, you might get stomach cramps

    It's because of the gelatin in the pie, doesn't cause any trouble or stomach ache , but it's soggy after it's defrosted & the pie isn't crisp anymore.
    OP isn't going to die tonight.......yet!

    Not suitable for home freezing is just a way to scam more money out of shoppers. Of course you can freeze it at home.

    Unless it was frozen before being put on the shelves. Then prepare for a bad case of the shíts ;)

    I am not dead, but I did have a rotten movement this morning. I'm fairly sure it soured the milk in the fridge.

    Tesco pork pies...... There's probably no actual meat in them so id say you're grand. Id say they were disgusting though.

    If they smelled OK you are probably fine. I defrosted some salmon darnes from Dunnes today that were clearly gone off. Bas*ards, it's not the first time they've sold me food that's gone off well before it's sell by date:mad:

    I cooked salmon darnes for the first time yesterday. 3.99 in Lidl and I made salmon tagliatelle.

    Completely off topic but it was really good :)

    It's really lovely if you make a bit of garlic butter, spread it on top and roast it. Great for dinner or in a sandwich.

    I tried freezing cooked pasta a while ago. Bad move: after defrosting, it turned in to cardboard then fell apart. Ugh.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Seriously.
    Your eating Tesco pork pies.

    And only the fact that they are frozen is worrying you.

    In this case "not suitable" likely means "pastry might be horrible after you defrost it".

    With some pork products, the other possible issue is that they're so chock full of salt and nitrates that they don't actually freeze completely "solid", so they're more of a bacteriological risk. Doubt that's an issue with the ol' Melton Mowbrays, though.
