What's the oldest food in your freezer right now?

I think my freezer deserves an archaeological dig. Every time I move something, I uncover another "ancient artifact" hiding in the back. Today I found something I don't even remember buying. I guess it's a reminder that I should clean out my freezer more often. Please tell me I'm not the only one with a freezer that keeps little surprises. What's the oldest thing you've found hiding in yours? P.S. Since many of you in the U.S. will be celebrating today, Happy Fourth of July! I hope your freezers are stocked with plenty of ice cream, popsicles, and other treats to help you stay cool while celebrating.

There is nothing older than 3 months in my freezer. I keep it cleaned and not over stuffed, I do not want to waste food in case of a power outage.

@sol_cee - My husband now eats close to nothing, I try not to keep a lot in the freezer.

I wish I were that disciplined with my freezer

Pretty bought some cauliflower, thinking I'd help her eat it... It's several years old now. I'm not a fan of cauliflower by itself. I can eat it if it's mixed with other veggies but these are bags of just cauliflower. She says it's too much to eat by herself. I keep suggesting we throw them away but she won't do it. Pretty has chocolate ice cream in the deep freeze but I'm out of my ice cream. And thank you very much! We'll be staying inside over the weekend of the 4th. I'm allergic to something in the smoke given off by fireworks. I get hives along with a rash if I get in the smoke.

I'd be more interested in the chocolate ice cream than the old cauliflower! And I don't blame you for staying inside, especially with your allergy. Hope you have a relaxing weekend!

@sol_cee I don't like chocolate ice cream, though. I like vanilla or salted Caramel. YUM! Inside is best for me for this weekend. You could come and visit, though.

Nothing ever gets too old in my freezer nowadays. I seem to be better at keeping it cleared of old stuff.

Haha..I don't even have a freezer. The erratic power supply doesn't encourage it

Since our freezer is small and can’t hold much, we usually empty it by the end of the week. The only thing that tends to stay longer are the ice cubes, as only a few of us are used to having ice water with our meals, so they mostly remain in the freezer.

I just cleaned mine out last weekend and will buy food next week to fill it again.

The oldest is spring roll wrappers. I have to make spring rolls soon before the wrappers expired. My freezer is stocked with rye breads, veggies, pork and chicken meat, Ube Halaya, fruits like berries and sliced cakes and cupcakes. Of course there’s a homemade ube ice cream just in case I crave for it.
