Meant to freeze, but never got round to it.

Is it still safe to eat?

If it was one of those frozen plastic packed cannon balls bought in a supermarket it's probably safe for weeks they pump so much salt into them.

It would be like those sailors who opened a barrel of salt pork in the early 1800s, only to notice the label "Best before 1701". The pork was like mahogany, but after being boiled for an hour or two was fine.

I'll down some alcohol later to kill any nasty bacteria. Don't want to take unnecessary risks.

I heard the best bacteria killer was alcohol mixed with lots and lots of chocolate.

Don't worry about the calories - just join the cuk fat club on Tuesday.....
