I’m not an expert on this, because I v. rarely eat mammal flesh.

However, I suspect flesh doesn’t keep, but cooked potatoes especially if wrapped, do. This is indeed fortunate, as I suspect meat is cooked quickly while roasting potatoes is not. So potatoes are treated as is fast fud, i.e. ready and waiting.
