This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Moldy bread? Nah.

Moldy hard cheese? Just generously cut off the mold and it's fine*

*I wouldn't feed this to anyone else, but I'd eat it, and do all the time

EDIT: the USDA agrees that moldy hard cheese is safe to eat https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/If-food-has-mold-is-it-safe-to-eat

For hard cheese, such as Cheddar, cut off at least 1-inch around and below the mold spot (keep the knife out of the mold itself). After trimming off the mold, the remaining cheese should be safe to eat.

For anyone’s interest, the rule of thumb is the colony on the surface is half the size of the depth that needs to be trimmed, so half an inch in diameter would be a one inch depth of removal

Rule of thumb, don't be a dumbass about it and you can do potentially dangerous stuff just fine

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

It isn't potentially dangerous when properly trimmed though, that's the point.
