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.

Well, today I intentionally ate moldy cheese. It was gouda and the mold was a grayish green tone and not very fuzzy.

Besides the taste I haven't had any negative effects so far. I melted it on a pan to at least "cook" it a little. But I could tell there were big chunks of mold due to the particular dirt flavour.

You probably shouldn't eat that kind of moldy cheese. It's hard to say what type of fungus you just ate. It isn't the same as what is done intentionally.

Yeah, um, don’t do that. It could kill you.

Still alive :D No negative effects so far

That's great! Next time it could be something far deadlier.

But you do you, I'm not your dad.

Gouda, first of all, is not a type of cheese that should be moldy.

Also, cheeses that are made to be moldy, don't just become moldy on their own. The mold is added in the production process, and is a type of mold that usually wouldn't have appeared on the cheese anyhow.

I left it out for a while accidentally, put it back in the fridge, went away for a week and now I got poor man's gourmet blue cheese.
