Bored? Watch a sandwich go mouldy

[Russinating]

Went to make some toast at the weekend and this was the state of the leftover bread from making the sandwich:



So yeah, I dunno. Can bread go mouldy when it's stale? Surely with more time?

I'm also worried that the LED lights may be prohibiting growth or actively killing any mould.

Mould needs moisture, so likely the bread is too dry on the outside to allow spores to grow

Aye, I think the environment is too dry. I can't see any mould anywhere.

Amazing how its changed to a bacon and sausage butty

We've got a diffuser I could stick in there without any oils in...

It looks a bit grotty but is it still mould free?

What bread did you use? I think McDonalds would be interested in finding out

I know right. It was just a loaf of Kingsmill from Aldi. Not sure what's happened to the bottom though, it's been sucked right in. We were planning to run it for 3 weeks until it went mouldy but looks like we'll need to carry it on...!

That is most upsetting. This is Hovis land.

I'm just glad you didn't say Warb... no I can't make myself say it.

Hovis might be a meme, but Roberts make the tastiest commercial bread by a country mile imo. Their mega thick makes epic toast and manwiches.

What's wrong with Warburtons? Their Seeded Batch is probably my favourite processed bread.

Nothing really. It's just a old meme here, where to prove (pun not intended) a picture was yours (in MM and such) you posted the item with a loaf of Hovis in shot.

Decent advert to not buy mass produced bread, this.

If you'd gone with Warburtons Wholemeal it would probably have gone mouldy on day 3
We find it's often got mould before the best before date regardless of where we store it.

I find that often happens to wholemeal bread regardless of the brand, must be less preservatives in it I guess!

I have an open packet of Mini Cheddars which was bought 18 months ago. It's still edible.

Metal is edible, doesn't mean you it's good for you to eat it.

If mold isn't eating it there's a reason...

Jesus is this still live and if so how is that bread not mouldy?!

 

[Lysander]

No updates for two days, what is going on? This is important.

I'm wondering if that bread will ever go mouldy now, seeing as it hasn't started to mould after 37 days. It may just get harder and harder.
