Should I eat the cheese?!

[louloubelleme]

So I left a block of cheese out on the side last night. Just normal cheddar, completely sealed. Will it be safe to eat it today?

Yes.

of course it will it will be a bit sweaty so I would turn it into cheese on toast

Yes, of course it will be fine.

It's cheese. You know, preserved milk. The clue is the word preserved. Cheddar is left in ripening rooms for months before you buy it ...well the decent stuff is.
What do you think could go wrong with it?

People were eating cheese long before fridges were invented and presumably lived to eat some more!

Cheese is actually better left out. Just doesn't keep so long.

No - let me have it!

Thanks everyone! Common sense was telling me to eat it but I can't afford to get ill! So was weighing it up! Cheese is currently getting cut ready to go on some toast

Always eat the cheese.

reading this thread you have made me go in the kitchen and make thick slices of cheese on toast for lunch thank you :)
