I bought a pack of 15 Best's Kosher Deli Beef Franks @ Sam's. I vacuum
seal/freeze them in packages of four. I notice they have a Use By date
of Oct. 27, '07. Will vacuum sealing, freezing extend this date?

Yes. But when you defrost them, don't re-freeze any.

Don't forget the sauerkraut.

What's funny to me is the "Use" by. It's not eat by. What the heck
do they expect people to "use" them for? Maybe I shouldn't ask.

Sheesh... so protective of sqwertz' gonads... damn... ain't you
embarrased spewing the intimacies of your sex life on what's probably
the most subscribed to newsgroup in all of usenet.

Amazing what folks assume to know about me... you must have crystal
balls... sqwertz must kiss your balls for luck, before he greases up
your butt for his weenie! LOL

Possibly, one of the dogs would have happily scarfed the sausage, then
soon after given its owner a big sloppy kiss.

The oldest existing condoms (from 1640) are made
from animal intestines. Not much different from
sausage casing.
