    Was it rye? You could be in for an interesting afternoon xD

    No but how could you not tell?! Mouldy bread tastes like the mud pies I used to eat when I was like 3!!! Like soil! I ate some by accident (mess sandwiches-shocking huh!?) last week and wasn't even ill. Stomach acid and bacteria in gut will help sort it. x

    did you pick the mold off the second half of your pita so that you could finish it?

    No matter, I was pretty turned off by that time anyway

    I did that last week... with a piece of garlic naan. I'm still here.

    Garlic mold does NOT taste good, btw. Save yourself that experience.
    Ew...

    But I made garlic toast out of moldy bread and dipped it in spaghetti sauce, and it was apparently pretty tasty, since I didn't notice until I reached for the second piece.

    The mold that grows on bread is used to make penicillin. You didn't even eat the moldy part. You should be fine. Just wondering though... didn't it taste a little funny?

    It was dry, but I slathered it with yogurt sauce, so I missed most the bread taste. I get what you are saying. Its totally just a psychological thing. I kind of wanted to see how people would react to my dramatic title, some of the responses have me laughing out loud.

    Yes, you will die. :bigsmile:


    Actually, you would be surprised to know that you actually will suck more mold spores into your lungs during the day than what what were probably on that pita bread.

    We learned in Foodsafe that most molds you can SEE won't be harmful to you. They may taste horrific but aren't going to kill you, no :P It's the bacteria etc you can't see that's bad, like salmonella on meat, eggs etc.
  • Well if something moldy gets on my counter top, I spray it with some sort of cleaner, like 409. Maybe try drinking some if you start feeling sick?

    Damn, we are easy!!! :laugh:

    And now only eat 500 calories for the rest of the day. You could have invented an ingenius weight loss program.

    okay, so i saw that we've already figured out:

    bread mold = penicillin.

    but what i haven't seen on here yet: penicillin = antibiotic; and antibiotics can screw up birth control.

    so instead of dying, you might have a baby.

    alternatively, use condoms for the next week.

    oh, and as a side note, let's be honest.... how many of us knew the penicillin from bread mold thing from watching teenage mutant ninja turtles?

    Bread mold isn't actually penicillin. Penicillin is made from it.

    wow, little-miss-doesn't-like jokes, let me clarify to the point of being un-funny...


    i did know that penicillin was made from bread mold, i was oversimplifying in favor of brevity

    and

    i heard michelangelo ask, "do you like penicillin on your pizza?" long, long before i took microbiology, biochemistry, cell bio, or genetics.

    They are funny. And I want to applaud you, OP, for not getting bent out of shape, offended or defensive about them. Thank you.

    Also, stop eating moldy bread.

    So, you watched the Ninja Turtles at school? Cool.
