So I know we've had loaves of bread in our house, and it's about time for it to get bad. I decided to make croutons out of them, but I smelled it and it smelled moldy. So I consulted google and learned that it shouldn't be safe to eat the fact I smelled it to check for mold was a stupid idea. I smelt for it first because the bread doesn't look moldy. There is no visible signs of mold. I know mold are microscopic and would not be seen until they accumulate a lot. However, against what they said, I smelled ihem again anyways, and they don't smell moldy. Should I throw them away, or make croutons?

Except mold on food does not kill anything quickly, it does so overtime. By the time we can even know if the dog has died from it or not, mushrooms would grow. This defeats the point of needing to know right now.

Besides, here's an update, I found a loaf that had a small amount of visible mold in it. So I reluctantly threw them away.

I'd say don't risk it. Just because it doesn't have mold yet doesn't mean it hasn't gone bad- especially if it's already starting to smell funky.

Moldy food can be potentially dangerous especially on soft foods.

Mold grows by way of something called Hypha. They're like little roots. So if you cut off the "bad parts" you still could be getting a mouth full of mold which might not kill you but it won't taste good and probably isn't very good for you.

When in doubt, throw it out.

I've already threw it away. I thought it was my imagination and me being paranoid, but when I manage to see the mold on one after looking at each one a second time, I knew that I had to throw it away. Especially because bread aren't so dense that you can cut it off and not have have in the places it wasn't touching directly. Mold will go deep in the bread.

Croutons. What can go wrong with those?

They taste like poopy

Bruh, nobody said survival wasn't a waiting game. It's all about preparation. If you need to know whether or not something is safe "right now" then it's already too late. You need to be prepared ahead of time.

I would hate to be the guy to feed the dog chocolate to know if it was poisonous.

I mean sure it's gonna taste like shit but you won't die or anything...

Classic Zornuzkull response. Like that chloroform to help treat a stuffy sinus that I didn't really have but felt because I listening to someone with a stuffy sinus.

I can tell you've never had homemade croutons before. I enjoy the ones from the store, but I'm aware of their lack of quality.

Always trust your nose. If food smells spoiled or moldy or whatever, toss it. Better to be safe than sorry.

Why would you encourage cruelty to an animal ---a crime by the way --- on this thread?

It's all I can think about as well when discussing bad beard.

eating mold makes u gay

You know, this might be very weird and I really don't know if it's a huge taboo for me to say this but...

*sigh*

...if my bread looks, smells or tastes bad, I throw it in the garbage.

Please forgive me guys, I have problems, I'm sorry...

Last year I bought a pineapple upside down cake that was in the day old section our grocery store. Got it home and had some, and after a few bites I started noticing a taste. I looked and underneath the cake at the center it had started to get moldy. I ate a good amount so I figured I was in trouble, but it didn't affect me at all thankfully. Guess my immune system is in good shape.

Live life on the edge. Take the chances. Go ahead and make your croutons, and if you get sick, you'll know better next time.

moldy bread
too much time at the computer

Where can I find good chocolate?

Should have made it into croutons before you decided to actually do it.

they would have probably been okay

It's a science experiment.

How the hell did this thread blow up? I've been gone for six days and this thread gradually gained posts. I've already thrown the bread away, to those who were wondering. Eventually, I saw mold on one of the bread and threw it away; so no croutons.

Think about what croutons are for a second. Its garlic seasoned , burnt [or toasted old bread for you pesents] , cubed bread. Although it is true certain molds can be negated with high heats , the fact that you came to newgrounds for the answer leads me to belive that you have already got ahead and made them, got a teeny sick but otherwise was fine, dispite what you may say.

For what it's worth I have a culinary degree , and these forums are dead anymore.

Throw the bread away, dumbass

if it's smelly, don't put it in your belly
if it's got a bad odor, put rid it via the disposal's rotor
if it's mold, put it in the cold. if you're bold and it isn't to old you can amputate the moldy part but it it still might make you fart

I'm not too sophisticated in my cooking that I would consult a cooking forum, but I'm not a simpleton that I'd make the croutons even after seeing the mold. I was leaning toward throwing it away in the first place, but I didn't want to waste them. I consulted google first, before asking you guys. I was half-way into cutting all the bread where I picked up a loaf that was had a little bit of visible mold. I grabbed a bag full of nope and trashed it. I asked it on Newgrounds partially because I wanted everyone's opinion, but I also did it for the humor of what they'll say. (Like YellowisCOOL calling me a dumbass)

beautiful. However bread is not one of those things you can amputate. It is not like cheese.

I am glad you threw the questionably moldy bread out.

If you would like to know a tip about moldy bread, keep reading this post!

Don't eat moldy bread!

Eat the bread raw

Eat the mold its good for you... I think.
