and hugely wasteful to throw away bread

[alpineway]

Is it very stupid of me and very wasteful too if, after making a sandwich i notice a small patch of green mould and rather than just cut out the mould i don't eat the sandwich at all. Dh can't understand why i won't just cut out the mouldy bit. I'd be interested to know what others do.

Yuck, no, all the bread gets chucked if there is a bit of mold. The whole loaf

The mould can spread throughout the porous surface. I throw it.

Some people are fine with it but I'd chuck it. I've thrown out blocks of cheese before with a tiny bit of mould instead of cutting it off.

I'm repulsed by it.

I find that once a bit of mold has come up the entire loaf tastes like soil...
Mold can't always be seen by the naked eye either and I just won't chance it. I'm pretty lax with food dates etc but any off smells, tastes or patches of mold mean it's instantly thrown away

I couldn't eat around mould.

I freeze my bread, because I hate food waste. I feed the birds with any my Granddaughter doesn't eat (crust refuser), so I don't lightly say, bin food.

Pull it off and eat the rest. Haven't died yet.

YANBU, but I personally would just tear off the mouldy bit. I make DD's sandwich for her snack for club the night before, because I don't see her until after club, sometimes I haven't known that the bread was going, and I'm not going out just before bed, I tear off the mouldy bit and use the rest.

Bread doesn't last long enough to go mouldy in my house! It's eaten within the day...a loaf a day! I'd probably ditch the slice tbh OP. But if it was old enough to be mouldy I wouldn't eat it!

Yep chuck it. Once it's reached that stage none of it tastes right anyway.

I wouldn't eat it. The green is just the mould you can see.

It probably wouldn't hurt you or make you sick or anything but tastes rank.

I'd cut mould off cheese quite happily, but bread? No way. The whole loaf will taste awful. It's a goner!

You can taste the mould even if it just a little patch. I would do the same.

white mould shows up before it goes green. You probably can't see white mould on your bread except for the crust.
So I bin it.

(I cut nasty bits off cheese though and the rest is fine)

Once it goes a bit dry I get a new loaf out of the freezer. I use the stale stuff to make bread pudding or bread and butter pudding.

If you're allergic to penicillin you shouldn't eat it. There are other types of mould and fungus that grow on bread and some of them will give you food poisoning.
Your disgust is a natural response to protect you from spoiled food.

I tear the mouldy bit off and eat the rest but only if it's on the crust.

If it's on the middle bit, I check the rest of the bread and sniff it. If it smells ok I try and use it up that day.

Yuck YANBU. I keep bread in the freezer so this doesn't happen. Can't stand mould

yanbu
I hate food waste but mouldy bread is the one thing I through away.
there is a chance (admittedly small) that the mould is very bad for your health and can cause food poisoning.

Ah, I pick it off and eat the not-green bread.

No judging from me though if you'd rather chuck it out.

Like your DH, I remove the bit of mound, maybe the whole slice. But I certainly don't throw the whole loaf in the bin.

Having said that, this would be the sign that said bread is on its way out anyway and I wouldn't keep it much longer (maybe until the end of the day/I have bought another one).

I wouldn't be able to eat any of the loaf without gagging and thinking there were tiny bits of mold on my tongue (not envy)

If I see any mould on anything then the whole lot goes in the bin. So the whole loaf, the whole block of cheese, yuk!

A quick google says that you're fine to cut off the mouldy part of hard foods, and not so fine with soft foods. I would class bread as a soft food so I'd chuck it.

I'll cut mould off cheese but bread, no. If the bread is mouldy it's getting chucked out.

I'd say once it has reached the green and visible state it is not sensible to eat it - and it tastes horrible. I was always having to throw bread away at my elderly parents house - they didn't have huge appetites and a loaf would be hanging around for a week, and Mum couldn't see the mould on it. I used to worry they would get food poisoning.

There's line between being wasteful (I would cut a bruise out of an apple and eat it, and I would cut a small mouldy bit off the side of cheese) but eating food that has mould over the surface, when it is a cheap food anyway - not really worth it.
