One of Those Food Questions I've Always Wondered About

Posted by Adrienne Martini

Pop Quiz:

You're making lunch for the kids and the cheese you pull out of the fridge looks a little green and fuzzy. Should you --

A) Fling it out the porch door while screaming, "Bad Cheese! Bad Cheese!"

B) Cut off the moldy bits and carry on.

C) Eat the cheese with the moldy bits because moldy cheese is a delicacy.

D) Sigh loudly and muse about how these things never happened to June Cleaver.

E) Feed it to the dog. After all, a critter who licks his own behind won't notice a little moldy cheese.

For the answer, click over to C. Claiborne Ray's column in the New York Times.

seriously?  you do a teaser story that I have to click through to get to your cutesy multiple choice test and then in order to actually get any real information you want me to click through yet again to a registration required site.  C'mon.

Huh. I thought the New York Times had done away with their registration. The answer is A. Pitch it because mold grows in three parts, only the top part of which you can see. The other two parts are well established in the food and generally not good to eat.

As for yelling "Bad Cheese!," that part is optional.
