Blue Cheese
Does blue cheese go bad?
On the package it says, "Refrigerate After Opening".
Why?
When you open up a package of blue cheese, there it is all shot through with streaks of mold. And yet we eat it and nobody dies.
If I don't refrigerate it, will it go bad? Will it get moldy? How am I going to tell?
It was a brave person who first ate blue cheese.
"Look, Martha. The cheese has grown ugly gray cultures of mold all the way through it and it smells funny. What should we do?"
"Why don't we just eat it anyway".
"OK. Yum. Let's call it 'Blue Cheese'".
And don't even ask about yogurt.
lol And the combination of blue cheese and yogurt....
