I just ate moldy cheese....and lived

[carpriver]

Grilled limburger cheese sandwich and a cool German beer that's good eats. A New York Strip, rare, with a nice chuck of blu cheese melted on top, good eats.

You really do live on the edge. For the Mrs. sake I hope you have a large life insurance policy.

And what do you think Yogurt is?

I buy it on sale and put it in the 'fridge and don't worry about dates. Of course, if I opened it up and a blue-green cloud came out, I would chunk it.


These expiration dates are often to sell product, not so much as to protect consumers.
Of the three name brand grocery stores in my area,
"Fresh milk" from A doesn't make it to the date on the container
" from B makes it to the date,
and " from C lasts up to a week beyond the date.

Naturally I buy "C"'s milk It also reflects on the sanitation of the milk producer..

Always just scraped off the mold and ate the cheese. I thought it was supposed to do that.

 

[perrazi]

try not eat the mold part. never know what might be hiding in there. as an aside, limburger was mentioned earlier. we used to put that on the exhaust manifold on someone's car we hated back in the day.

I mostly do stuff like that just because it's so fun to gross Missus P&R Fan out. If I drop a potato chip on the floor I pick it up and eat it. She puts on rubber gloves, safety goggles and picks it up with tongs (germs, ya know). The interesting thing is, she gets sick all the time. I NEVER get sick. She thinks it has something to do with the way we were raised. She was raised in an absolutely sterile environment. Her parents still shrink wrap stuff in plastic. I was raised with dirt a daily encounter, as every boy should be raised.

The mold on the cheese is not gonna hurt me. I remember my Great-Grandfather, probably 40 years ago, finding some mold on his bread. He scoffed and said "mold ain't gonna hurt me, that's what they make penicillan out of". He lived to 92.
It's been over two hours, I ain't dead yet.

There are different types of molds, just like there are different types of mushrooms. I would treat molds on cheese with a little more respect, just like mushrooms. I know the green stuff on cedar cheese will lay you flat on the floor for hours, and you will be wishing you were dead.

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.....

.

We have several excellent steak houses in NYC that is offering up to 60 day dry aged steaks and they supposedly have a distinct blue cheese background taste
New York's Oldest Dry-Aged Steaks, Ranked by Age -- Grub Street New York
I stick with 30 day aged and personally like Les Halle's and Smith and Wollinsky's.

What the heck is cedar cheese?

 

[wbraswell]

Mold on cheese, you can slice off, and the rest is OK(usually). Bread, any mold, and I chunk it. Just because it ain't green and fuzzy yet, doesn't mean it's good.

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...

I wondered what happened to Liederkranz. I always thought it was a kind of detuned version of Limburger. Speaking of which, can still be had, although it is getting expensive. I just had some yesterday. My wife said my breath stank.

But then she went out and bought some Stilton. If that isn't moldy blue cheese, I don't know what is.

 

[Damn Yankee]

Limburger on soft rye,slice of raw onion.slice of baloney with brown mustard and a glass of beer.

Sleep by yourself that night.

 

[GaryS]

I accidentally ate moldy bread once. My poop was green for several days, but that was about it. Well and my skin cleared up!

 

[P&R Fan]

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

Well, it's been about 26 hours.
I ain't dead yet.

And no, Missus Fan is gonna sell most of 'em. Probably on here.
Jim

 

[kcode]

P&R Fan, I get the feeling that you have never had a real "Country Ham" that's been hanging for a while. You wife would never consider eating it after removing the outer wrap.

Just thought I'd give an update. Just had some more. Have eaten about half of it.
