If you have a carrier bag full of chicken breasts it will not keep as well on the floor next to the freezer as it would actually inside the freezer. It may start to smell, and the smell might appear in a different part of the house - presumably wafting under the floorboards.

I had some chicken breasts and stored them in a cockpit locker next to hull - keeps em cool. But I forgot. Looked on the brightside......at least the smell masked the diesel aroma.

when leaving the boat, check the oven for the extra sausages cooked for breakfast that weren't eaten .... a saga not yet complete and an anticipated joy for the next visit to the boat

Bin there done that. Had to board with a gas mask last time after leaving sausages & bacon in the oven for 6 weeks. It seemed like a good safe storage place at the time - and in many ways it was.

We've left an open packet of cheese in the galley cupboard. Will it attract mice?

wonder what the butcher puts in them that they don't biodegrade (local butcher, not supermarket/prewrapped bangers)
