Would you eat it - advise needed please.

Hello, hope everyone is enjoying Christmas. I have a dilema and wondered if anyone had any words of advise.

My family and I have been invited to a freinds for dinner over New Year. The person involved has bought a large joint of beef and had frozen it. But then took it out of freezer, travelled about 6 hours with it then put it back in the freezer.

Do you think it would be ok to eat after being I would think partially defrosted then frozen again. Also they tend to cook things quite pink if you know what I mean.

It's very awkward as I am very unsure about eating the meat and also for my children to eat it, could do without starting 2010 with food poisoning!.:rolleyes:

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks

It'll be fine, if it was pork or poultry I'd run a mile but red meat is much less likely to be contaminated by such treatment.

A large joint of meat is unlikely to defrost mch in 6 hours in the freezing temperatures we are currently having.

i am always very careful with turkey/chicken probably too cautious, but i think with red meat anything goes really - if you think how rare some people have it in restaurants and god knows how it is stored there, you will be fine.

Thank you so much for your super quick replies. I tend to over cook everything and n ot freeze anything twice so was a little worried.

Thank you again.

Happy New Year
