Weird ? - what would make a package of sausage blow up?

Dang - great question! I forgot for a moment why we were all here

And I'd love to see a photo of a 73 lb turkey - sorry, Em...

Nope, hasn't blown up. It's just sitting there, quietly. More than likely waiting for Em to come for a visit so it can suck the life out of her in her sleep.

Awwww, Gritty invited me to stay at her house...oh wait...

It's not the sausage you need to be afraid of. I'd be watching for those cows. They're known for ripping off doors and coming right in.

I want pictures of both the turkey and the sausage, maybe a before and after, of the sausage

Your food pyramid needs some serious help. I'm just sayin'...

You know you can fry pretty much anything and turn it into a nugget of golden yumminess, right? This is how we made okra palatable, gave usefulness back to green tomatoes and took pickles and snickers to a whole new level. I've even heard of fried twinkies (but oddly enough no fried ho-hos). If it is a nasty food we can make it all better. Catfish, liver, oysters, asparagus... the list goes on and on and on.

Okay, Kat's a bit slow tonight. I read that as "You people are so depraved" and I was going to wholeheartedly agree.

Around here it is pretty much the same thing. You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-toe...

I know that my mother has the recipe for anything that is nasty or nastier.

I still have the memory of watching her eat pig brains in scrambled eggs.

At least she didn't share it, or make us eat it for dinner.

Though this could be why I am a half a bubble off plum.

I am so grateful that I had to teach myself to cook.

If the meat is tainted and only one report went in to their company nothing will get done. Big companies will avoid the embarrassment of a recall if it can be swept under the rug and hushed up. Putting out tainted meat happens accidentally but its no excuse for poor testing within the facility, listeria is present in every meat plant whether you like it or not, its just the count that matters, low counts exist everywhere, its the high counts that can kill us. Because of this, its a huge lawsuit waiting to happen if they disregard their duties and your meat turns out to be tainted!

It was a good idea to place it an another sealable bag, because if it is bacteria and not water content (water can make a package expand in that manner where it balloons in the middle and could actually break apart and rattle) and its resistant to cold the bacteria could and would spread throughout your whole freezer pretty much tainting the rest of your food inside the freezer, just because a package looks sealed it doesn't mean it is, microscopic bacteria will escape through seams.

My advice is to take it to a health center where they can test the meat, I am not sure what it would be in the USA but here our Community center tests water, soil, and pretty much anything we think needs to be tested for bacteria etc. Not only will you feel better but if it is tainted you could be saving some people from severe malaise.

DO not open the package, because if the company requests the package, and it is open they could say you tampered with it. If you have it brought in to be tested they will note that the package was still sealed in original packaging thus they cannot say it was tampered with.

Also, Do not thaw it out!! lol
