I ate moldy bread by accident once. Didn't see the side with the mold until after I made the sandwich, I was also high. That one time and tiny amount was one of the most horrible things I've put in my mouth. Spit it out immediately and had PTSD about moldy bread ever since. If I see a tiny bit forming that shit is not going near my mouth, the whole bag is gone.
Really don't understand how anyone could "eat around it" or even eat other slices in the pack. Bread is really cheap, just throw it away. Don't play Russian roulette with foods.
Well, that's how it's supposed to be done. Since mold is a fungus, what shows up on the surface is the reproductive parts that spawn spores, meaning the rest of the bread probably has mold too.
@MeatPilot @panda_abyss bread isn't really cheap if you have dietary restrictions, but "mold-free" should be one of them regardless 😂 it sucks when I have to throw away gluten free bread, but that shit being expensive is no excuse for deliberately poisoning myself--if it was, I'd just have the wheat 🤷
