OMG, the KFC buffalo wings in my 'fridge taste just fine!
AFTER eight days in my unpowered fridge!
There was a blackout here in NYC...but unbelievably, I don't smell
anything rotten in the 'fridge!
I wonder what else is still edible...??
I have unopened fat-free Lactaid lactose-free milk...a package of
unopened Louis Rich turkey slices...unopened bags of Chinese dumplings
in the freezer...unopened boxes of frozen TV dinners...opened peanut
butter and jam...hmmm!!
Anyone know about the science behind food and food spoilage?
If it doesn't smell bad and doesn't look bad and doesn't taste bad, can
it still be eaten if nuked (microwaved) or cooked thoroughly??
If no, why not? I mean, isn't that the same principle behind recycling
water -- kill the germs somehow, and it's okay all over again???
Hope I don't have the runs later...LOLOLOLOL!!!

Yes. But when you buy peanut butter or roasted peanuts, the peanuts
have been "cooked" (roasted). The cooking does little to any toxin
that is present, but it does mean that there should be no mold left.
So storage of roasted peanut products does not result in an increase
of the toxin. (Some people think that the killing of the mold may not
be complete, so perhaps this is not absolute.) Remember, it is normal
to store peanut products -- even after opening -- at room temperature.
Storage of uncooked peanuts is a bigger concern, and should be
avoided. Similarly, it is probably best to avoid getting peanut butter
from stores that roast and make their own. The big manufacturers of
peanut butter have worked out procedures and do thorough testing to
keep aflatoxin low, but a small store isn't going to do that -- and
you can’t tell by looking at it.
