Mouldy Cheese

[bluemoon1]

I'm not a big lover of cheese and when I have it,it's usually the slices or spreadable types. I bought some block cheese recently though and I tried a bit and liked it, but when I got it out of the fridge again it had gone mouldy. It's still got a month on the sell by date and I've read that you have to cut the mould of to about an inch below it. The blocks only an inch thick so do I have to throw it out?

We've become to dainty, its not that many years since they use to trim or scrap the mold off in front of the customer before cutting a chunk off, the more mold that appeared the more mature it tasted.

I'm not sure we have in this instance TC, everyone has agreed not to whizz it but to trim or scrape it.

It's certainly what I do.

On the whole M people have become to fussy, or may be just don't understand the ins and outs of some foods. It may be that its presented to us in such a way with the so called dates, and so many miss leading instructions, all really in the name of selling more of the product, in turn more wasted food.

We'll have to agree to differ, we obviously know different people.

There's a very high percentage we know different people.
