rockSlayerMy grandma has a 22 year old block of cheese
yeah anyone recommending eating that is just wrong
I remember getting into such a heated argument with a dumbass on early lemmy about moldy bread and cheese.
it got so heated that I was issued a temporary ban for telling them to go ahead and eat a moldy cheese sandwich and die from food poisoning.
some people just want to prove they’re “tough” by risking their lives for the dumbest shit.
May I offer you a tasty tidepod in these trying times?
Moldy bread? Nah.
Moldy hard cheese? Just generously cut off the mold and it’s fine.
For anyone’s interest, the rule of thumb is the colony on the surface is half the size of the depth that needs to be trimmed, so half an inch in diameter would be a one inch depth of removal
Rule of thumb, don’t be a dumbass about it and you can do potentially dangerous stuff just fine
It isn’t potentially dangerous when properly trimmed though, that’s the point.
Think of what cheese is.
“I milked this cow, and now the milk has become full of bacteria, smells gross, and has solidified…but I think I’m going to eat it.”
What I mean is that you have no idea what bacteria is in that cheese or if the beer fridge was constantly refrigerated. If it doesn’t kill you it could still lead to an unpleasant ER visit. Not worth it over $10-20 worth of cheese.
give up dude. half the population is so brain rotted they don’t even have the will to survive anymore and just want to risk their health by eating expired food because “I’m tough”.
