Yair . . . dunno folks.
Nine until six with a cracked open door on a fridge and you are talking toss most of the food? . . . most of it would have been okay just left out on the bench.
Time for a reality check I reckon . . . take milk for instance.
It used to be that in some parts of our towns it was delivered to the door before midnight and you would often see bottles still on the porch at eight or nine next morning . . . summer and winter in the semi tropics.
And what about meat? I slaughter and dress a out a sheep one evening, it hangs outside overnight.
About seven or eight next morning I break it down and hang it in the meatsafe away from all the flies. That night after work I cut it up and stack into the fridge or freezer.
There was life before refrigeration.
Cheers.
