I'll admit why I have food poisoning

[GRLMGC]

It's disgusting and I won't blame anyone for thinking less of me.

I had some sourcream that had never been opened before. It was brand new. Anyway, when I opened it, it had a little green spot. I spooned it and ate the rest like a moron. I deserve my pain for being a dumbass.

1. hm, well, I actually might have done the same thing myself

except I don't eat sour cream. but I would have applied the "cheese" principle -- cut off the bad bit -- and eaten it anyway.

Thanks, now I know better. Probably doesn't make you feel better though! :hi:

3. Seems okay, right?

It's not. Learn from my mistakes

2. Can sour cream get sourer?

I don't know if it is really food poisoning per say. It might be more like food spoilage. Is there a difference?..hell, I don't know.
Hope you feel better soon.

4. I don't know the difference either

Either way, you feel craptacular

5. Yes. Usually if sour cream has turned, you'll know it.

I learned that the hard way. But if it tasted all right, I would have scraped the mold away, too, as we do with cheese.

6. Pink or green scum on Sour Cream is an indicator of spoilage. Toss it out.

More broadly, any mold you can see on any food is only the 'tip of the iceberg'. By the time you can see a visible spot or clump of mold on food, there's already a network of nearly invisible structure on which it grew.

With hard cheeses, yes, you can cut it off; anything else I just throw away. No matter what it cost you to buy, it's not worth getting sick to find out if it's truly bad or not.

7. Well I know that now
