I just hang the meat in the fridge so air is circulating around. I use
screen only when i am hanging outside to keep fly away. Lately in my fridge
i got strange looking smelly things (in the opinion of other members of my
family) like robin, shrimp , salmon or even snake. So i don't limit myself
to anything that could be aged. I don't eat pork,chicken because i am not
able to find animals raised with their original food .
I observed that i don't have as much bad reaction ( mostly sweat and bad
taste) with aged (to the point of being almost dry) commercial beef as with
the same piece eaten fresh. So i do sometimes too get cheap out of date
pieces when the top quality that i want is unavailable.
