Mold

#1 Postby Janice » Wed Jul 05, 2006 11:37 am

Are you intimidated when you find mold on something that you eat? If there is mold on cheese, bread, etc., do you just scrap the mold off and eat what is left? Do you eat the bruising or black that occurs on bananas?

Me... I eat cheese with mold, but scrape off what I am eating

I can't eat anything with mold on it, it promptly goes in the garbage! But isn't that how a certain cheese is made (limburger, blue cheese)? Forget which one now.....

I prefer bananas to be the bright yellow, no green and no black. Right in between! When they are overripe though, they make wonderful banana nutbread, muffins or pancakes. Yum!

I thought this topic would be about mold you find in your shower or on the shower curtain - LOL!!!

If I see mold, the whole thing goes in the trash. And I only eat bread that is really fresh, so it never gets close to molding on me. When its not super soft anymore, which is usually well before the expiration date, I stick it in the freezer to feed some local ducks with later, and get a new loaf. I'm pretty picky about my bread, crackers, chips, etc. There can't be even the slightest hint of staleness, or I can't eat it. yuk!

Kelly - funny you should mention staleness (doesn't that spelling look odd?).

I love to eat graham crackers when they're stale and very soft. I intentionally leave the bag open, drives my husband nuts - he's like you - he won't eat anything if it's slightly stale. He rejects it immediately!

food usually doesn't stay around long enough to get moldy in our house. Four boys 11 to 15.

Too funny Mary. I am with Kelly on this one, I can't stand a slight bit of staleness on anything either. If it has mold its gone, it grosses me out. My bread has to be super soft too, luckly there is the Merita baking plant just minutes away, and a Frito Lay for that matter, so the bread is always super fresh. I can not eat ice cream that is more than a few days old either. I am sure we waste alot of perfectly good food, and sometimes I feel bad throwing away almost a whole loaf of bread that has been sitting a week, but still would be fine for most people, but I won't eat it. And I usually won't fix my kids anything that I wouldn't eat myself, so off to the garbage it goes. :roll:

Miss Mary...and I can't stand graham crackers that aren't crispy fresh. lol
I think my sister is more like you - she likes it, because it is softer.

O Town Kelly...do y'all have a nearby park that has ducks? You could save that bread and take the kids to the park to feed the ducks, or if you don't have one, an open field somewhere to feed the birds. It's better than just throwing it away, plus your kids would probably enjoy it.

Ice cream after a few days? Ok, I don't get that one. It's in the freezer...it doesn't get stale. Image

Same here, in the trash. It never occurs to me to do anything else. I have sort of a mini-phobia to mold. I don't even want to look at it or get near it, much less eat something that had mold on it.

Once I saw a small amount of mold on a powdered donut I was about to eat. It was months before I could bring myself to eat another one.

You sound like me. A few years ago, I opened up a bag of shredded cheddar cheese, reached into it, grabbed a handful and tossed it into my mouth, only to spit it out 1/2 a second later, gagging. I looked in the bag and it had mold in it. I have never been so grossed out in my life. I couldn't wash my mouth out enough and it was a long time before I ate cheese again, particularly shredded, and I always look it over real well before I eat it now, no matter what the expiration date says. The people who witnessed this seemed to get a kick out of it though.
