To tell dp to finish the bloody cheeseboard or throw it away?

[TossedSaladsAndScrambledEggs]

I bought dp a selection of stinky cheeses for Xmas, as one does.

He has been enjoying them at his leisure, we all have. One night they were left out overnight inadvertently. They seems to survive at the time. However, they are now getting to the point where they are TOO stinky. Even the Brie has developed a BLACK mould. I have told him this is not normal, but he insists it will be fine if he cuts it off and he will eat it. This was days ago, and there are still just a few stinky stumps left.

Aibu to ask him to just eat the bloody stuff or I will bin it? Every time I threaten it he says I am being wasteful, but every time I open the fridge it smells like something had died in my kitchen! Xmas is over now, I want to go back to having a fridge that is not a biohazard!

Chuck it.

Buy something DH likes that needs refrigerating and make space for it by removing Bio hazard.

If I offered DH mature cheddar and chilli chutney he'd instantly forget the mouldy remains.

I think I will chuck it. I'm sure he will throw a strop though, as it was part of his actual present as I bought him the cheeses, a board, some knives, chutneys, nice wine etc.

So it will be like I'm chucking his Xmas present! He wouldn't mind me eating it, but he wouldn't believe it if I told him that now as I have expressed my disgust at it!

cheese fridge

Get him that and then he can keep it as long as he wants.

Bin it and buy some more cheese...

I would bin it

I sell cheese and I have NEVER seen Brie with black mould on it!!!
Sling it. And that is you professional advice!

Yuck. Dh has some bizarre food hoarding tendencies and tends to get upset when he sees me throwing stuff away - so I just make sure he doesn't see me .

Our fridge is the same, Tossed.

My DP is the same wrt cutting off mouldy bits, too.

I don't think it's being unreasonable to want it binned. I may do the very same thing with some over-soggy Stilton right now - to hell with the consequences!

Now don't get me wrong, I will cut off mouldy bits, snip of hard bits and generally trim up cheese. It doesn't get thrown out here until it gets to the point where I look at it and just can't face eating it.
But cheese mould is generally green. Black is highly suspect.

The stinkier the better round here but black mould does not sound like something I want to put into my mouth. Bin it.

It's Brie isn't it, I practically fainted every time I opened the fridge for about a week after Christmas. We have remains of several bits of Christmas cheese still left which we are eating for lunch with crackers, but the Brie had to go even before it was completely finished Not even clingfilm and a tupperware could contain it!!

Black mould on brie?

Why don't you chuck it out? It's not fit for consumption.

Black mould is evil.

I would chuck it (and trust me, I never throw anything out).

Yanbu, bin it. DH always has his stinky cheeses at Christmas so I feel your anguish.

There's only so long you should keep them. Yuk!

Oh god this sounds like Homer and That sandwich. Ewwwwwwww.....

I'd bin it then buy this.

I used the last of our stinky (though defo not with any black mould) cheese on omelettes the other day....they were delicious! Could you make him one tonight or for breakfast?

Loving this thread!

We too have a manky cheeseboard still lurking in the fridge since late 2014.

This thread has inspired me to get off my bottom and chuck it.......in a minute.

A cheese fridge like wow!!!
Why have I never thought of that

God, just bin it. Say, "I cleaned out the fridge. The cheese was off." He's an adult, he can make his way to the store and get more cheese if he wants it.

Bin the cheese. He'll still have the board and knives so won't have lost his Xmas present.

Mould will contaminate other things in the fridge with its spores.

Ha ha, our fridge stinks of Xmas cheese! The kids shout "shut the fridge!" from upstairs when the stench wafts up!! We have a plastic sealed cheese box and it still stinks! Tastes good though!
Can I join your stinky cheese sisterhood?

We always buy too many cheeses and so every year we freeze the cheese board after the 26th and take one out at a time. Black cheese would be binned though.
