I am a chef and when you go to Tafe or wherever you happen to do your formal studies you learn about a process called Aging meat - usually these days when (red only red meat usually beef) meat is being aged it is aged in cry vac bags, have you ever been to a restauraunt and on their menu it will say under their steak that it has been aged 15 days ect it is said to make the meat more tender

"maximum tenderness (of vacuum packed meats)is achieved at 1degree celcius in about 28days"

"vacuum packed meats can be stored at 0 degrees celcius for up to 12 weeks but during this time the flavour and texture of the meat slowly changes"

"optimum condition of meat is achieved after 2-3 weeks of ageing"

"A Slightly sour or milky odour may be noticed when bag is opened. This is part of the natural maturation within the package as the meat ages.....this does not affect the flavour of the meat and should not be confused as spoilage"

So if you can control the temperature in your fridge to this extent then it is possible to age meat for long periods of time, I hope this has been helpful.

Why do packages of frozen food have printed on them the warning do not refreeze?

The refreeze warning is focused on defrosting, rather than cooking or even slow-thawing them. If you thaw open at room temperature, with warm water, or in the microwave, the edges and surface, which is where bacteria are probably dormant, warm up first and start to grow. Refreezing does not kill them, so you have greatly increased risk if you refreeze and thaw the same way, which most people would do. If you thaw and immediately cook the food, that basically starts you over with a fresh product (cooked <whatever>) that you can safely freeze afterward. Once frozen, the same cautions should apply to this food as well. If you thaw in the refridgerator, you have less risk, but the food ages(and bacteria etc grow) at the same rate as if it was refridgerated from the start. Most people don't realize this, and treat once-frozen food like it will last longer than not frozen, not realizing it was probably refridgerated before it was frozen and is effectively already older than their fresh food. Since this age is generally unknown, not eating right away is not recommended.

Does Copenhagen mean frozen harbor?

No, the name "Copenhagen" does not mean "frozen harbor." It derives from the Danish words "købmænd" (merchants) and "havn" (harbor), meaning "merchants' harbor." The city's name reflects its historical significance as a trading post rather than a reference to ice or freezing. The concept of a frozen harbor is more related to its climate during winter months rather than its etymology.
