Today's Would You Eat This?

[ESF]

On Monday afternoon, I bought some fancy cheese.  It's a soft, creamy cheese, kind of in the brie family, I guess. (Robiola, for those curious.)

This morning while rummaging around in the fridge, I couldn't find it.  I then realized that I never took it out of my bag.

My first instinct was to throw it away because ewwwwwwww.  But it was $13!  And it occurred to me that I leave butter out all the time, so why is this different?

Don't they leave cheese out in europe?!

I would totally eat this.

If it looks and smells normal, then I'd eat it

This was my thinking.

My husband says he will eat it.  

It is getting stuffed into dates and dried figs, and topped with a couple pomegranate seeds for a parade snack.  I have been looking forward to this more than the dinner itself.

I think it was Mexico where I saw cheese being sold sitting out with flies all over it. I'm guessing no one gets sick over that. So I'd eat it this.

When can I come over to help eat these delicious snacks?!

I know nothing about cheese safety, so I can't comment.

But I bought some cheese the other day (just a small $2 wedge from the "scrap" bin) but we haven't seen it since. I'm hoping it just didn't end up in the bag on accident....

This is my favorite game on GBCN.

It's amazing because you never know when MM will surprise you.

I was firmly expecting everyone to tell me that I will die if I eat this.  I am nearly always on Team Yes, but in this instance, I was waffling enough that a solid showing from the No camp would have persuaded me.

Your sister needs to move back here so you have an excuse to visit.

This is the cocktail we will be drinking with it.

I suppose if there are germs, that drink is boozy enough to kill them all.

Haha. I'm in this camp. (I might have answered no once or twice. But I am 99.5% a YES.) fancy cheese? Yes yes yes.

Here is how it would go in my house:

I would smell it and if it smelled ok, I would make DH taste it. If it passed the DH taste test, then we would eat it.

I'll be there in four days (that's how it long it takes via train!).

I'll see your cheese story and raise you one.

DH and I bought a pack of vacuum sealed mozzarella balls on Sunday a week and a half ago. A week later (Saturday), we discovered such said cheese in the back of his vehicle... It was pretty cold that whole week. Probably 25 - 40 degrees each day. DH drives an hour to work and its a hatchback vehicle (so the whole car interior warms up).

Would you eat it?? We put the cheese in the fridge and haven't opened it yet... We're in the "if it smells fine/looks fine, we'll eat it" camp.

I voted yes on the OP, but I'm gonna have to give this one a no vote.
