If the wax seal has never been broken and it's been kept in a cool pantry or cellar, I'd 100% eat it.

If you cannot verify either: chuck it.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 3 weeks ago

As best as I can tell, the wax is still has no cracks and it's been stored in the beer fridge this entire time

[-] comador@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago

Open gently, place on a freezer cooled plate and let it breathe for an hour... carve and enjoy.

It's not been stored correctly though for aging. It's not even the oldest cheese I've eaten though.

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

Oh no, that's become wild cheddar my friend.

Still more cultured than the US.

When a friend's parents passed away, he came over to start packing up their house. He found tartar sauce that could vote and little onyx-like bricks of partially consumed cream cheese in the fridge. The spice rack contained Owl Spices which were donated to the state historical society.

He found tartar sauce that could vote

Strange that it had the sentience to accomplish that.

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 53 points 3 weeks ago

It doesn't have sentience, it votes Republican

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

God dammit. That explains a lot! Ok guys! Stop producing cheese! It's our only hope!

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Start producing smarter cheese. Give it two cells, it may vote independent.

holy shit. I haven't thought of Owl in decades.

[-] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 weeks ago

That is the most Wisconsin thing I’ve ever seen.

Side note and please don’t take offense: FTP

Lol we're no fans of the packers either. Iirc it was a joke gift for when my grandparents moved to their current house

Lol we're no fans of the packers either.

We all make mistakes sometimes.

It's not too bad if you scramble it into your green eggs. It pairs exceptionally with green ham.

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

Be sure to ask for the green coffin at your green funeral.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 19 points 3 weeks ago

Keep it in mint condition (and colour) at this point. :)

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 3 weeks ago

At this point I think it can be considered an heirloom

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Actually, I think it's cheese.

Not sure it can legally be called cheese anymore

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago

What color did it start as

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

eat the fucking cheese

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

Mmmm extra mature

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago
[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

My assumption from the coloring was a football player.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 weeks ago

The back label says football player

[-] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

So, it's an astronaut. Like Katie Perry.

yeah anyone recommending eating that is just wrong

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Think of what cheese is.

"I milked this cow, and now the milk has become full of bacteria, smells gross, and has solidified.......but I think I'm going to eat it."

[-] hodgepodgin@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

What I mean is that you have no idea what bacteria is in that cheese or if the beer fridge was constantly refrigerated. If it doesn’t kill you it could still lead to an unpleasant ER visit. Not worth it over $10-20 worth of cheese.

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.

[-] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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.

May I offer you a tasty tidepod in these trying times?

[-] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 weeks ago

it never was cheddar, it's american "cheese".

[-] Draegur@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

I was still in high school when that cheese was made.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

And you're almost done with 11th grade!

[-] ZebulonP@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I saw these all the time as a kid. Never knew what they were. Was hoping theyd be some kind of sweet.

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.
