Do you think I can eat that?
The other night Christian wanted some goat’s cheese toast (it happens). So he retrieved the cheese (the creamy crust-free slightly bland type) from the fridge, but when he opened it he paused for a second. Then he came over and stuck it under my nose: ‘Can I eat that?’.
‘Well, I would because it smells better than before, and the way it should – mouldy. Except, it went mouldy in our fridge and not in controlled conditions. So, as much as I hate to say, probably not.’ Crushed (and slightly hesitant) husband puts cheese in bin. I reminisce on how I did eat cheese that went mouldy in uncontrolled conditions many a time. I realise that as far as food safety is concerned, I’m screwed: certain types of mould smell incredibly appetising to me.
Don’t ask me if you can eat that.
