I just ate moldy cheese....and lived

[P&R Fan]

I have good friends who own a dairy farm. They sell cheese and had some that was wrapped but had a little mold on it. I took it home and Missus Fan was horrified. I cut a hunk off and ate it. She's just
sure I'll be dead soon.
Am I the only one who lives on the edge like that?

Is that a new version of Russian Roulette for those opposed to wasting good ammunition?

Aged cheese molds. That's a fact of life. It improves the flavor.

But I never eat the mold, that gets cut off.

Good beef is allowed to mold also. Something about the mold begins to break down the fibrous tissue and tenderizes it. I paid a lot of money for a molded steak once, left out to rot for 30 days....

They cut the mold off and cooked it. I could still taste the mold kind of, but I enjoyed the heck out of it.

You'll be fine.....

Normally takes 24 to 48 hours, can I have your guns?

If it wasn't for mold there would be few great cheeses.
One of my favorites is a blue called Saint Agur... runny,moldy,veined and still mild and savory.
I also love a ripe raw milk Camembert...mold and all.

Bravo for you Sir.

Guess what the white stuff is on the rind of Brie and what puts the blue veins in Blue Cheese. Now if you want to eat a moldy Cheeto you find under the fridge, think twice about it.

My advise....wash it down with some curdled milk and a slice of fuzzy bread.

Eat some Lindberger cheese you will welcome moldy cheese after that.;

 

[rwsmith]

I've never understood......

Cheese is ripened (essentially rotted) but if it gets moldy we throw it away.

Blue cheese, the blue stuff is mold, and it's delicious. My favorite cheese without a doubt.

You just might have found a new antibiotic that's going to save us all.

Well you just may have pioneered a new medical break-through. Penicillin came from bread mold so we may have a cure for some really bad disease because of your little experiment.....that is, if you live.

Remember, What don't kill you makes you stronger.

Back in the years before the producer's facility burned down, there was a cheese called Liederkranz. It was kinda like Limburger, but softer, smellier and tastier. My dad and I used to buy it and deliberately wait a few weeks after its marked expiration date.

Then we'd open it up, savor the stink, cut into the gooey part, hold our noses and spread it on saltine crackers. We'd both go to bed happy, albeit with very bad breath. We loved living on the edge...
