Dominican create their own shelf life rules

Okay, so maybe its just me, but does anyone find it interesting how us Dominicans make our own rules about how long you can keep foods?! I mean, my mom's theory is as long as its frozen its good and will last. We make extra of everything and freeze everything!

Mashed garlic-Freeze
Pre-Boiled Beans-Freeze
Sofrito-Freeze
Salami-Good forever as long as its in the freezer
Queso de freir-Same story
Meats-who know's how long we've had that pernil in there???
Leftover tomato paste-Freeze

Man, it seems like we dont follow expiration date guidlines. My mom's freezer and pantry is FULL of stuff. I worry sometimes, but when the things get cooked, theyre sooo good. LOL. Maybe its just me.
