Would You Eat Mouldy Food?

I always make my own decisions as to whether or not food is fit to eat, the sell by date means very little.
According to this article, choosing which moulds are safe and which are not is is a bit of a minefield.
No wonder so many people err on the side of caution and throw so much food away.

The problem now is to get the bread to go stale before it goes mouldy.

I like fresh food not the frozen stuff

Having once had a very painful and uncomfortable week with food poisoning which I blamed on Chicken from a chip shop i would always err on the side of caution. I have never since had Chicken from a chip shop in the summer.

We always try to eat fresh ,or frozen jan likes that blue cheese but it smells mouldy to me I wont go near it.any other cheese yea but not that,and she won't buy any junk food.

Yes but you can't avoid it completely ,but I ment like KFC or Mc Donald ,or other such outlet's.

I'm not a frequent visitor to these outlets but I think they are a bit better than they were.

Years ago one of our girls got a part time job at Mc Donalds, it was suprising what she told us.As you say they may have improved since then.

At the prices McDonalds charges I don't think it is realistic to expect very much. The old adage that you get what you pay for has never been so true.
And "better than they were" shows how bad they must have been.

There really is a difference between minced fillet steak and minced cow.

This thread was about good food going off at home. At what point do you chuck it away as opposed to chucking it up?

My wife allway's goes by the best before date after that it's in the bin.
