I have found some frying steak in the freezer with the date of august 2011 and nov 2011

Can i still eat it or should i just bin it?

I beleive there is a 3 month rule for storage isnt there?

If it's not green when you defrost it, have at it.

During my time at university they were selling "out of date crisps" in the student union bar, a young fellow student anounced her dissapointment as she had never had the chance to try "date" crisps.

As long as it's packaged well & not covered in freezer burn, I wouldn't throw it out without thawing it & checking it first. It's frozen so I don't see how it would change after a certain date.

Don't eat it, send it to me.  

Years ago when very few of us had fridges or freezers and food was not marked with a "sell by" or "use by" date we kept food until it either smelt bad or it walked away itself.

Due to modern hygiene laws people are now paranoid and shops are throwing out canned and pickled food that will actually keep for years.
