Bad news, I don't think it's mild cheddar anymore

I remember getting into such a heated argument with a dumbass on early lemmy about moldy bread and cheese.

it got so heated that I was issued a temporary ban for telling them to go ahead and eat a moldy cheese sandwich and die from food poisoning.

some people just want to prove they're "tough" by risking their lives for the dumbest shit.

    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.

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