From the ZM Podcast Network, it's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Welcome to a little bit of pod. I need to start off by prefacing this saying I hate waste. I hate food waste. Yeah. For sure. But I'm bad at it. And my fridge, I opened it up the other day and was like, this is alarming. You know how my car used to be? Yep. That's the fridge. Yeah, you are the queen of sloppy old celery juice.

Sloppy celery juice, and not even the vegetable drawer. I sort of deal with that on a rotation. It's time for a fridge claim. This is the best thing about living in the city is I just buy stuff as I need it. Yeah, whereas I'm quite far from a supermarket. Yeah, so I think if I lived where you lived, I'd always want a bit of stuff stocked up.

Less the fresh produce is my concern because I keep up with that and I don't overbuy. It's time for me to do a full clear out sauce. Oh yeah. Jams, pickles. It's amazing, like when you actually do this clear out, how pass the use by date your sources are. So I opened up, because you know I do, I celebrate Taco Mondays. Like when you actually do this clear out, how past are you by date your sources are? So I opened up, I am, because you know I do, I celebrate taco Mondays. Which is weird because it's Tuesday, it's the International Day of Tacos.

I know. Monday Margarita, Tuesday Taco, Wednesday Wings, Thursday. Thursday. Thursday, Thursday. And Fujita Friday. Fujita Friday. I know, but I fuck with tacos on a Monday. So last Monday, Monday just gone, I open up this salsa that I have from Teobablo.

It's a beautiful salsa that I like to add on top. Lovely. And I noticed a tiny bit of mold around the rim, but not in the sauce. So I just got the spoon and avoided the mold. Ooh, yeah. And ate the sauce, but I was like, that's a sign. You obviously had that in there for more than two years.

I know, but I put it on the taco and so I didn't want to look at the used by day. So here's my question. I reckon Vaughan, you all know the answer to this. So I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna get everything out and go through the preserves and just be like, come on. Can I give you a little tip for cleaning the fridge?

Yeah. A little bit of- Vanilla. Vanilla essence. Vanilla essence. On a paper towel. Yeah, that works a trick. Or sprinkle it through the fridge and then rub it around. I don't fuck with essence babe, you know I'm bourgeois, I've got bean. Oh okay well use that. So what am I supposed to pry open a vanilla bean and smear it and then put it around my

fridge, little black dots everywhere? Well you could try it, well you could buy some cheap vanilla essence like the rest of us. Could I just put my Santel 33 perfume in there? No that's- That's $500 a square. That's not a fridge fragrance. Here's my question in Vaughan, I feel like you'll know this.

I've got the ick, like the tummy ick in my brain about the frozen bag of prawns in my freezer. I reckon I've been there for a year. Do we think that these frozen prawns are still acceptable to defrost and eat? No, because what is, do you remember freezers used to have that diagram in the 90s? Do we think that these frozen prawns are still acceptable? To defrost and eat? No. No. Do you remember, freezers used to have that diagram

in the 90s? You would say how long things could be kept. Oh my God! I don't know if seafood was any more than six. Yes! And you lift up the lid of the chest freezer and they have a diagram. Like fish, two months.

Yeah, and chicken, six, or whatever it is. Do you think a bag of frozen, pre-cooked, no, are they pre-cooked? No, no, no, they're not pre-cooked. Well, some of them are, some of them are. They might be a little bit steamed perhaps. Yeah, but de-veined. I don't think you could be fucking with old fish.

There's no, you shouldn't. I actually feel like I'm due a gut clear out though. Do you know what I mean? Like I've had a bit of IBS recently, like flare up, and I was like, maybe a good like dirty frozen prawn. A raw chicken cleansing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So do you reckon ditch the bag?

Either that or just fry the hell out of them for like an hour. And so they're really rubbery. Could I mooli them into a dumpling filling? Ooh. Ooh. And cover it in soy sauce so that you can't taste it. Nah, but that won't stop you getting the outrageous shits.

Yeah, but it'll stop me tasting that yuck. Well, good luck with that. Thank you so much, I may or may not be at work next week. I don't fuck with seafood with freezer burn, but I would with red meat. You can slow cook that away. Oh, red meat, you could eat that a year. Chicken with freezer burns gets a bit choo choo,

you don't have to slow cook it, but I mean, freezer burns, nothing. Yeah, and like I find human limbs, normally best within the first six months as well. Yeah, well that arm man, I'm gonna have to fucking just address that. Yeah, chewy, the last one that we had wasn't it? Well, we just did the finger though, and I wondered if we should have gone for a fleshier, but we have not murdered anyone, there is no one in my freezer, this is a parody.

I have an apartment freezer, it's big enough for three packets of mixed berries and that's it. And I have a normal person freezer and it's filled with bags of old prawns that I'm gonna have to ditch.
