I don't know if it's true or not, but I would do the same. Don't be a pussy.

I hope she's been poisoning you.

nothing will happen even if you only eat the moldy parts unless its black mold
sheltered city slicker nigger

also its parmesan

>>13112312
All aged cheeses are covered in a surface mold that has to be cleaned off before eating it. They use mold to make many good cheeses. Stop being a faggot.

... and was it even mold? A good cheese will form white tyrosine crystals on the surface as it sits that some dumb people think is a white mold.

Surface mold is like the fungus equivalent of a flower.
Most of the structure is beneath the surface in the form of mycelium, which is like roots.

That said you're probably fine, faggot.

>>13112344
it was green

>>13112312
it's perfectly fine. when you're in college make sure to leave some moldy bread out and tear off the mold and eat it. insist it's perfectly okay still. your parents will give you more money for food.

>>13112312
You can clean mold off hard cheeses, don't try it with soft ones though.

>>13112682
This. In general any "hard" or solid foods you can cut mound off. Any softer foods the mould has probably spread further on

>>13112349
the organisms that take to cheese are not quite the same as those that live on bread. Also the physical properties of hard cheese are quite different from bread, and molds/bacteria can't really penetrate hard cheese without help (most blues are manually inoculated with bacteria cultures)

>>13112349
based and sporepilled

>poisoning me all my life
maybe she has and thats why you make retarded posts like thsi one, dumb fuck

>>13114050

I only eat those pre packaged individual slices of american cheese because I'm scared of mold.

>>13114072
each slice has one atom of mold placed on it to scare you. BOO

>>13112349
That's bread though you fucking idiot. Obviously mouldy bread should not be eaten. But hard cheese is hard and thus probably can't be penetrated. Probably.

>>13112312
The English have a saying, “If mold won’t eat your cheddar, you shouldn’t either.”

>>13114151
Of course they wouldn’t, they don’t have functional theet

>>13114165
>theet

It's probably fine even if you eat the mold; they can't generally survive in your stomach. You need to watch out for bacterial contamination, which will make the cheese soft or even liquidy and smell rotting or sour.

>>13114207
>sour
Sour bacteria are good

>>13114177
What is wrong whit that?

>>13114131
Should not, however I have. I was eating in the dark alone, buttered some Italian bread, ate 3 slices thinking fuck this tastes weird before I turned on the lights and saw the interesting colors spread along the bread. Tasted gross but I didn't get sick or anything

Because of this, I've since decided if it tastes fine it is. Currently drinking milk 3 weeks past date

>>13114131
>>13114302
Oh, and the milks been left out overnight. There's small particles but I don't have to chew yet

>>13114131
Mold grows on rocks and trees nigga cheese ain't shit

>>13112312
Idiot, if you remove the mold, there's no more mold.

>>13114302
>I've since decided if it tastes fine it is

WIT PIPO AFRAID OF MOLD I SAYS YOU TROW DAT IN DA BIN I KIK U OUT

>>13114309
that's legitimately horrifying. please stop.

>>13114573
It's really not bad as long as I don't get a real good whiff of it. Kinda hold breath as you sip.
I mostly do it cause I'm so cheap honestly. Can't fathom throwing it out cause that's like a dollar wasted. Maybe doesn't sound like much but think of it long term and over all other food products a normal well adjusted human would have thrown out but I ate.
Saw a thread about apple cores, yeah, eat that. Eat the stem too. Orange peels, watermelon rinds, corn cobs, name it. I've probably done it. Slimy lunch meats the hardest to get down taste wise, corn cobs fuck up the ass the next day and take ages to chew though.

>>13112312

she's pretty much right but if you're buying enough parmigiano at one time that it molds before you use it you're doing it wrong. It's not like you're getting a volume discount unless you're buying a fucking wheel

>>13114773
Based, don't let anybody tell you otherwise. How do you think bleu cheese got invented? Some heroic poverty chad like yourself ate that shit even though it had fat stripes of blue mold running through it. Stay strong bro.

>>13112352
hol up, nigga
you had GREEN mold on your parm? how the fuck did that happen? real parm is far too dry and salty to grown wet green mold...it’s a life form desert in there; either you have fake/wisconsin “parm“ or your mom kept it in her vagina

>>13114789
Yeah, this OP

>>13114789
if the rind of your cheese don't look like this it ain't parm

Do you think that if you would fucking die from food mold, humans would have survived this long?

Cut off the gross moldy bits, then cut off a little more, then eat the fucking thing. Goes for fruit and veg too, you big baby.

>>13114784
I wish I had the excuse of being poverty stricken. Believe it or not women put up with it though. They argue and try to stop me but I just smile and chew. In the end they puff and forget about it.

>>13114813
I live in a first world nation. I'm not eating moldy food cause I don't have to so go fuck yourself. Sorry you have to eat rotten foot lettuce in crapistan or wherever you are

>>13114815
By they I mean the 3 women I've had long enough relationships with for them to find out my dietary practices.

It'll probably depend on the mold in question, but keep in mind there are cheeses made deliberately with mold (e.g. roquefort) that are perfectly safe to eat.

>>13112312
What ridiculousness
Cheese is already rotten milk
What are you trying to get at

>>13114885
if you cut off the moldy bits it's not moldy anymore brainlet

>>13114918
being in enclosed space with the mold means that whole outside surface is contaminated whether you see mold on that part or not. Not fit for civilized folks to eat. no thanks

>>13112312
it's common practice
it has to be sitting around in a damp environment to get moldy in any Short period of time though
but you can put cheese in the freezer too if you don't use it much, it'll keep far longer but the texture will change a bit, and the taste can too depending on the cheese
I actually quite like the taste of frozen cheddar, it's sort of like a false aging

Cheese itself is a mold.

>>13112312
Was this after you caught your mother being honed out by a black man?

>>13115285
i thought americans were asleep

>>13114217
Are the same faggot that posted that?
If you are, learn to fucking spell.
Theet is no a word, dumbarse.

>>13114342
Are Americans this fucking dumb?
It's spelt MOULD, you fuckwits

cheese is ok, bread has microscopic little tendrils EVERYWHERE inside when you can see anything on the surface.

>>13115312
hey listen here buddy. don't talk to my american friends like that or we're gonna have a problem, okay?

>>13115287
we never fucking sleep

>>13114773
You sound like a weirdo and an idiot. Get a better job and then you won't have to worry about money so much. Or even with just a basic job, manage your money better.

Also one thing you definitely shouldn't eat is apple seeds because they have cyanide apparently. The concentrations are low, but if you eat enough of them (quite a lot I think) then apparently it poisons you.

>>13114918
See this picture: >>13112349

Fucking brainlet

>>13115865
you'd need to eat 140-200 apple seeds to feel any effects from the tiny amount of cyanide

>>13112312
if its moldy on the surface it means its moldy inside
you cant always see mold, so if its moldy to the point you can actually see it, its beyond bad

>>13115903
>you'd need to eat 140-200 apple seeds
challenge accepted, goodbye anons

>>13114002
i thought blue cheese *was* mold

>>13112312
It’s true but you’re still supposed to cut off like an inch around it. That’s going by FDA standards though, which assume your immune system is already on the brink of utter failure.

>>13116681
Yes, blue cheese isn’t actually cheese at all, it’s actually nothing but fungi. There isn’t even a molecule of cow milk left because the entire hunk is converted into pure mold fungus before consumed.

>>13112312
She is doing right. This is what people do.

>>13114342
Not true. This is a habit that probably won't harm you at this point in your life, but when you get older and your digestive system grows less rigorous the roots and trace toxins remaining in foods that remain after you cut away the visible bloom of mould will have a much higher chance of being enough to make you sick and potentially even kill you.

Take a quick glance at that cheese making video, you'll be fine

(should start at 4:34)

>>13112312
cheese is fucking mold have you ever eaten blue cheese

>>13116709
Hmm, can't say as I remember ever hearing of a case of someone dying from eating moldy cheese and surely that would become a highly successful clickbait article. Any sources?

>>13112349
a highly porous substance isn't comparable to cheese. Look at brie, the mold is only on the surface

>>13116681
the mold in blue cheese is either injected or mixed with the curds before pressing, so it's not compareable to something like surface mold

>>13114076
*molecule

>>13114773
>Can't fathom throwing it out cause that's like a dollar wasted
Just wait till you get sick from consuming rancid shit and see the hospital bill

>>13114922
This attitude is why food waste is so rampant in the west. Truly degenerate opinion.

>>13114815
>I just smile and chew
Absolute king

>>13112312
Cheese IS mold.

>>13112312

Most mold showing on the surface of cheese has been growing inside since the culture was added at the factory. Cutting it off only visually removes it in which case you should just wipe it.

If you can't deal with the fact that cheese is riddled with mold then stop eating it altogether. So many cheeses in the world (that is outside your flyover state) purposefully have it growing and sporing all through the heart or all over the rind. It's part of the flavour. Parmigiano takes so long to go bad that I have never had it happen my whole life. Stop being a baby and get mold-pilled

>>13117811
But it looks icky. Only true cheese connoisseurs would eat something that looks so vile just for the experience.

But really, how do I store cheese to make it last longer? I hate buying shredded but it stays fresh for weeks while I open a block and 3 days later it's moldy.

>>13117686
Seething thirdie

>>13117596
fuck, i want gorgonzola now

>>13112312
what the fuck? I have had parm wedges in my fridge for months at a time yet it has never gotten visibly moldy

>>13118696
what is wrong with you people? I've had shit like havarti and mozz stay good for at least a week. just wrap it up with plastic or put it in a ziploc once you open it, you subhumans. are you leaving it on the counter or something?

>>13118929
forgot to add, I put it in parchment as well but even before I started doing that it never spoiled anywhere close to "3 days later." i have no idea what you must be doing for it to be that bad

>>13118929
whole foods doesn't even store them inside a refrigerated section. fucking jesus

>>13118962
Since when? Those little cases are still chilled fuckface.

>>13118991
it's probably different depending on the store, but two of the ones i've been to have the parmigiano reggiano wedges on wooden island counters near the cheese case. i just bought one last week and it definitely was room temp when i added it to my basket

maybe OP's mom lives in a swamp

>>13112312
this is true. removing the moldy area'll do ya for hard cheeses. not the same across the board though

>>13112312

Your mom hasn't been poisoning you, you're just a dumbass for not using the most basic of internet search skills.

>>13119359
And I guess copy and paste is gonna fuck up my sentence too, it's your fault OP, fuck you.

>>13119364
How did that even happen? Is it translated from a different language or was there some kind of punctuation that wasn’t able to be translated in terms of programming?
I’m genuinely curious sorry if this is autistic

Don't tell my son, but I've been cutting off pieces of parmesan cheese with mold and I'm poisoning him because he can't spell parmesan

>>13115306
*learn too

>>13118734

No wonder the rest of the world look at grown americans as children.

>>13112312
>>13119203
rule of thumb: The more moisture a food item contains, the more volume will be affected by the mold.

>>13112312
I remember reading from a fellow ck funguy/mycologist that mold produce mycotoxins only on a substrate of vegetal matter. Which would explain why it would be harmless on cured cheeses and meats. It could also be a question of strain, but there is far less data on pathogenic fungi than bacteria.

>>13114002
>the organisms that take to cheese are not quite the same as those that live on bread
Penicillium Roquefortii would like a word with you. It grows on bread and that's how it was selected by the time to inocculate Roquefort. Probably the reason why Roquefort has been seen blacklisted for celliac's.

>most blues are manually inoculated with bacteria cultures
Except the blue part is fungi, not bacteria

>>13117596
Also, because mold needs air, if the inside is blue, it has been aerated. Typically, Roquefort is drilled for that purpose.

>>13118696
Molds thrive oxygen, I'd say pack it tight to protect it from air.

>>13115903

And you'd only need to eat one peach pit

>>13112312
Pink mold kills. The other ones are fine. Hard cheese is rotten milk, get over it you dumbass.

>>13121557
I've eaten cheese with pink mold often and never been sick.

>>13121745
Godspeed you absolute mad bastard.

>>13120722

I’m down with eating rotten milk whenever m8 but I’m never gonna touch meat that’s been “cured” using any kind of microorganism

fuck. i just scraped some pink mold off my creme fraiche today before using a spoonful in my eggs. no health insurance so i hope i dont die.

>>13122646
If you die having health insurance or not won't change your experience.
