Camembert?
BonafideHomicide
I think this is another article for getting poor people to be content with less. Moldy? It won't hurt ya! Have you tried eating less?
MightyIink
Retailers trying to justify eating spoiled food amisdt the worst recession/inflation the world has seen.
profloyo
“ just eat around it “
lordofthegoats
Yeah they're known as cheese. Gorgonzola, Brie and St. Andrés cheeses are frigging delicious to name a few.
Ocek
I wouldn't eat it either if I found mold on the top of my head either.

Did the cordyceps write this?
michaelfire
will confess I've eaten non-moldy parts of peaches, oranges etc...sometimes even bread
soulmata
Fruit is one thing. But bread mold can outright kill you. It's dangerous shit, friend.
brobinson2001
So's fruit mold if you're deathly allergic to penicillin
Sierrahotel12
I think it was Carlin who once said he can’t eat a tomato because it doesn’t look like it’s finished

SpaceballsTheComment
Simple, if it survived long enough in my house to grow mold, I didn't want to eat it in the first place.
flamingflamingo
Who doesn’t love a tomato that practically liquid?
Quizz25S
Fuuuuuck no. I've seen The Last of Us, i know what fungus is capable of.

GraniteIvy
Just scrape it off... it'll be 'fine'...
GraniteIvy
Apparently that's jam that was being served in a restaurant... yum...
ILikeFood2000
Interrupted eating my Petri dish, checking the expiration date. “Phew still good”
AbdulMasaiev
and that's absolutely not one of them. Soft foods like tomatoes aren't moldy just where you can see the mold, the tendrils reach everywhere.
brandonc5033
No one ever said you couldn't eat mold.
brandonc5033
They do say you can't put metal in a microwave but I've never had a problem fitting it in there.
CityYeti
Remember, just because you take off the moldy part doesn't mean it's all gone. Mold branches out on the inside and can be harmful to you

Classic.
KenjiKando
As someone allergic to penicillin, I don't trust any mold.
svga
chop that cheese, carve that bread
TheCriticsWereConciseItOnlyTookFourLines
No harmful molds grow on cheddar cheese
UnderAttachedGirlfriend
you sound like a faux news headline, because that is outright false
TheCriticsWereConciseItOnlyTookFourLines
It was a claim made to me by a representative from Cabot cheese
BonafideHomicide
Of course, they would never bias the truth to favor their product, that would be some evil corporate dystopia kind of crap
neithermenoryou
Technically that's true if it's in a controlled environment like the cheddar cheese caves where there are very specific conditions that
neithermenoryou
prevent the harmful kinds of mold to grow and instead only allow the good kind to grow that is edible to humans. Though for a random kitchen
neithermenoryou
counter that isn't true.
Subsound
According to whom?
RoyalWithChz
Shows a picture of a tomato and you’re never supposed to eat moldy soft foods like tomatoes….
allihearisnoise
How come?
SubTrout
AFAIK, molds can have roots that grow deeper into the food, also soft foods will harbor more bacterial growth as well due to the moisture.
ilsalta
I usually look for the difference in firmness and cut off the parts that are different and then some. If it's too far gone, then just toss.
Pookakke
Not saying you're wrong, but that could be a Hachiya persimmon.

Blue cheese is pretty yummy…
Schlovia
Unless you're allergic, i will never know the taste. :(
PimpinKen
It's terrible. It tastes like death and you shouldn't feel bad.
Schlovia
Thanks bro!
xenorac
Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf**kers.
dronette
If you like the taste of vomit.
PhilKenSebban
My GF is real loose with best before/use by dates. We had lettuce that was over a week past the used by. She insisted it was still good.
BonafideHomicide
But did you die?
thevortexmaster
I'm at the food bank for work a lot. Health authorities have charts on what's good for how long after. Veggies is mostly by look and feel
SithElephant
Quite, I mean for stuff like lettuce, if it looks fine, it's pretty much fine. You should probably wash it for an added level of precaution.
thevortexmaster
Definitely
SlytlyDerangd
And she's right to do so. They're often a guess - not a guarantee. If the lettuce wasn't real brown or extra wilted, go for it!
upsidedownhead
Did you died?
stupidfuntime
I feel like veggies often go bad sooner and stay fresh longer than those dates. My limit for lettuce is the slimy dark parts. You can put1/2
stupidfuntime
Limp lettuce, celery, green onions, etc root side down in water for it firm up again
BonafideHomicide
Interesting tip
stupidfuntime
Hopefully it helps you save a buck down the line! It's surprising how well it works. If you store scallions/asparagus/celery with the roots
stupidfuntime
Standing up in a little water from the get go in the fridge they stay better longer too, just change the water every day or two
olivertheoctopus
The NYT actually did an interesting piece on this! Expiration dates are purely arbitrary - you can’t control what natures gonna do and there
olivertheoctopus
are literally no rules around it (except baby food). https://www.nytimes.com/article/expiration-dates.html Other link to follow —>

PhilKenSebban
Yeah my GF is probably not wrong Im just very particular with food and have slight phobia of eating anything that might make me sick.
thevortexmaster
You should just get sick hahaha ain't gonna kill ya. Well unless you have immune system issues or you're 90
skippieelove
That’s why most have changed to “best by” instead of expiration. Especially shelf stable items.
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
Some of you never had parents that made you cut mold off cheese or something?
AusSpyder
Mostly moldy pumpkin for us. I'm dry retching just remembering it and it was 30 years ago
aleister94
It is still good tho
NotmyUsername2000
My mom does this. So I also practice it. Most cheeses are very dense, so cutting off the section with mold is fine.
NotmyUsername2000
I usually put it in a fresh container after. There's nothing you can do about bread though, if it's moldy the whole thing is bad.
magila
That's different i still cut the mold off cheese and eat the good part.
ReallyFastSloth
same, no need to waste cheese
MyNameIsBatty
Cheese mold is one thing… Tomato mold??
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
It the tomato is dense. And its just from damage ill cut it off. If its all soft and mushy nah im good.
WeaponizedJerk
Mold on cheese is pretty normal. You won't catch me eating a moldy tomato...
ilPino
I got the worst food poisoning after doing this. I still do it, only poisoned myself once. Soft, raw-milk cheeses probably best to not to.
teapartyyy
Yeah, if it doesn't taste bad then just cut of the moldy bits. Not meat obviously xD
smaard
Gorzine
Cheese is supposed to have mold on it. Cheese crust is mold. I know cuz i'm French and smelly cheese is our religion
BobbyBobBobBuBuBuBubblegoose
Yeah well in Alsace your religion smells like sour feet. Nice with an SGN gewurz tho. Funny how that works.
JustTryingToHelpDude
If you open the cheese packaging and no one comes investigate the suspicious odors, then it might not be ripe yet.
expectnothingstillletdown
your parents let you cut the mold off? I had to eat it as punishment for not putting the cheese away properly.
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
Lmao jesus. We just got hit with a belt.
kerms
That's only okay if it's a hard cheese. If it's a soft cheese, there's no such thing as cutting the mold out, even if you can't see it.
MexicanHandOff
My mom would leave dinner out on the counter for 6+ hours because it needed to "cool" before it could go in the fridge.
bigbigbilly
She's got the right idea. Just a little too overzealous
WeAreOctopi
And bread
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
Idk why. But i refused to eat the bread i guess i thought i had standards.
Varenvel
they not made us , we grew in poor family , if we threw it away no cheese for next of week or no tomatoes for all week
Sugarbritches21
Same. Condiment sandwiches with moldy bread you cut out the bad parts of bwere a thing.
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
I grew up around ketchup sandwiches. So definitely understand. I usually dont buy bread though. Its too easy to make.
Sugarbritches21
Yeah I love me some homemade bread. Now that I'm on my own my pantry is always stocked with things just in case
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
I make a 8-12 hour rise bread. Perfect to make at night and bake in the morning.
DrKonrad
French here. Mold *is* part of the cheese
OldSwedishGrandma
Swede here. I agree!
JustTryingToHelpDude
German here, basically any european would agree. Mold is culture.

Not all people are molded by their parents

So cheesy
LeftRightThere
Um, I’m the parent that cuts it off and doesn’t tell anyone because then it won’t get eaten if I admit what I’ve done. Forever unclean!
TheIceHorse
Reason this works with cheese is because it’s extremely dense BUT this only works with blocked hard or slightly soft cheeses.
majorminers
Thats a third year course. Great lecture. my prof included the "hiding freezer burn under said cheese".
procrastinatingagain
"It's still good!" One of my mother's favorite sayings.
WHEREISMYTROPHY
Hours later, my mom "why is my stomach upset?"
procrastinatingagain
In their older age they constantly were having stomach issues. I think they were eating spoiled foods. We helped them all the time but¹
procrastinatingagain
we weren't with them 24/7. Now that my mom lives with my sibling, the stomach issues are not as common.
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
Ik jfc. Scarred for life. But really. They prepared me for our impending dystopia, now i can eat garbage!

If you can see the flower of a mold, then it’s roots have already saturated the whole fruit/vegetable whatever

Cheese is different https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/food-and-nutrition/faq-20058492
kerms
Hard cheese only
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
In general, yes. In practice, not always. Bread w/ mold, big nope; toxic threads all through it. Jams with more than 63% sugar are safe >
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
as the sugar concentration will prevent the formation of those threads. As with all shrooms, you gotta know what you are doing.
GrosseChung
So you’re gonna be eating mold no matter what you cut off
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
As an adult i know this now. But as a child. You depend on your parents to give you certain important information.
Teasaurus
Something something all cheese is mold anyway
GrosseChung
Yeah, some mold is perfectly edible and can make some food tastier… love me some blue cheese
rakas90
And I think they get penicillin from citrus mold? I could be wrong about that though
RoyalWithChz
Your comment had me search this out and apparently you’re right https://youtu.be/JyqOE2Z-MdU
NeoDarkElf
A seeker of knowledge!? Have a link: https://youtu.be/NgduUAu8s3g
Elvirana
He, too, though, adds, that mold spreads differently depending on the density of the produce. In onions, for example, you're fine if you
Elvirana
get rid of the affected layer(s), the rest is good to eat. I'd never eat parts of a mouldy peach or orange, though.
AlmightyThor117
Blue cheese has mold in it!
OverMyDadBody
There is a huge difference between the different strains and fungalcultures. They produce different types and amounts of toxins.
StevieTheAussie
The cheese part is good. The blue mould veins are stomach-turning.
lostlittletimeonthis
manulofdoom
Blue cheese, Gorgonzola, Camembert, there are various cheeses with literal mold on it. And they are all delicious!
qwirked
All cheese has mold in it.
IssacOppenheimer
Cheese is made from curdling milk (which can be done with vinegar, salt, or rennet), and draining the liquid whey, and heat. Mold optional.
MikeStinse
Wrong
BonafideHomicide
?Bleu cheese has mold in it! ?
Ihaventconsumedenoughwineforthis
Blue cheese has mold in it
derekjohn
I was assured, very emphatically, by a student that it was blue dye in cheese because 'they wouldn't allow it nowadays'.
Bananasandwiches42
Better not tell them cheese is made by adding rennet to it.
HairyChairstepper
Tbf there are some cheeses not allowed in some places.
derekjohn
Most of those are ones that actually have things living in them like Mimolette and Casu Martzu.
HandoB4Javert
vonHoopla
Penicillin is basically mold extract
HandoB4Javert
It's still all from the original strain. Mind blowing.
Cucumberclouds
It’s fuckin delicious is what it is
derekjohn
"Nah ! It's made in labs now", I've been told.
HOAMTH
You were told the truth, though it's still made with the Penicillin mold just under lab conditions.
