Poll: Would you eat this cheese? *** I've eaten it and I'm not dead ***

[Feek]

It was bought for me at the local summer show.



And it's sat in the back of the fridge ever since.

It's fully waxed and completely sealed but it's cheese. It can last for years in the right environment.



Would you eat it?

I would eat it, I love cheese and can't imagine why you didn't eat it years ago.

If it killed me I would feel that I deserved it for leaving it so long

Give it a sniff

I honestly don't know. It was bought along with a couple of other truckles of different flavour cheeses and for some reason it was left forgotten at the back of the fridge. I just noticed it there this morning.

Go for it, its "best before" but you could be finding out if its "even better by". Go to cut into it and see if its lunges away from the knife and shows forms of communication.

Nope - 30 Nov 18 and it would have been straight in the bin. But i'm forever getting told off for for throwing things which Mrs says are completely fine.

What's the worst that could happen?

No as it has chilli in it. But you should crack it open and see whats its like. It shouldn't need shaving.

 

[Minxy]

Sounds yummy, ditch it and order a new one. Feel free to send me one too

 

[MikeTheNative]

Shame you didn't eat it in date that's good cheese! I might be ok sealed in the wax but it probably has gone rather dry.

 

[Ian_Eb]

I would go for it I think. We have had similar aged stuff and it was fine.

 

[OldKitMan]

not worth the risk IMO.

I've got several cheeses from xmas 2018 in the deep freeze, I ate one a few weeks ago and it was fine. Freezing cheese works very well except it alters the texture and makes it crumbly, the taste is not altered though

 

[Em3bbs]

Open it up and take a look (and post pics). Never waste cheese!

 

[randomshenans]

You need to add that cheese to Cheezus! https://cheezus.co

And yes, as it's sealed I totally would. I'd open it at least.

Open it up and set a timelapse up of the decomposition. This is how I consume all my food based threads now.

If the wax seal hasn't been broken it should be fine, I've consumed a few out of date cheeses in the past and not yet found one that has perished.
