juvenal Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 If there's no mould on it - I would eat it. If it's 'sweating' a little - even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pootle Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 It'll be fine. Hard cheeses don't really need refrigeration if you are going to eat them - if you were to leave it there for a week on the other hand ... it would probably walk off by itself.

Prescience Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 The French make and eat probably more cheese than any other nation. Cheese is never kept in a fridge! Ruins it! Soft cheeses such as Brie, Camambert, Reblechon, Columiere, are kept cellared until ready to eat: now ready to eat is highly subjective! Some prefer their cheese young: others somewhat aged: and others rather ripe. There is in fact one variety of cheese in the North (Pas de Calais) which is so strong in smell, it is an offence to take it on public transport! Enjoy!

athe Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Pretty much anything in a tin or jar will keep for ever. I just ignore dates on stuff like that. Don't ignore them too much - I once slaved over a chilli, popped in a can of tomatoes that I found at the back of the cupboard - it was absolutely inedible. Delving through the bin I found that the toms were five years out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskoka Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Flaming Heck. Back in the days of rationing during the war, you just cut off the green mouldy bits and ate the rest of the cheese! I do not jest....... If you were lucky to have some cheese. Take note - I am not recommending the above. But its what my mum told me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pick It Down Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Last time I visited the parents there was still the peppermint cordial at the back of the cupboard with a best before date on of 1991. Tasted fine to me. Still had a Tesco price sticker on it. 19p. I don't think you can buy it any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think about Anthea Turner after reading your post. By the way, smelly cheese is offically known as "Underpant Cheese". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AuntJess Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 pretty warm weather, forgot to put my cheddar back in the fridge for 15 hrs - anyone tell me if it's a definite no no to consume it or a definite chuck out as it would be if it were soft / cream cheese?info on cheese if you please Someone told me that cheese is not made the way it used to be. (Now why does THAT not surprise me?) summat to do with the speeded up way they do it: it doesn't mature naturally and slowly, as they put chemicals in it to accelerate the process. For this reason it goes off quickly. I could believe that. They can't leave food alone these days, just GOT to monkey about with it. Chickens injected with oestrogens to make them plumper PLUS pumped with antibiotics. It is no wonder that there are super bugs and men losing their virility. Beef injected with tenderisers before death....ever wondered why joint ligament probs. are on the increase? And worst of all, I suspect that the incredible increase in incidents of dementia, is down to a sort of mad cow disease variation: Some get mad cow disease - others it takes longer and destroys their brain ove a period of years.
