Ewww! I can’t say this enough times… I’ve just taken a jar of Frankfurters out of my fridge… According to the label, they should be good until 16.11.2007, if kept below 25°C. I’m pretty confident my fridge stayed below that temperature, although naturally I can’t be certain. The jar was still sealed, with both the seal around the neck and the pop-up cap undamaged/unpopped.
But there was mould in it. Icky lumps of white mould, and occasional bits of blue mould, floating in the brine that the sausages come in. Words fail me. The closest I can come is a face-pulling cry of “ewww”, over and over again.
I feel ill.
Note: While I was writing this post, last night, my internet died – hence the odd posting time. No, despite being in Munich, I don’t generally eat sausages for breakfast. And yes, I’m a student. Half past midday is a perfectly reasonable time for breakfast.
Ewww indeed!
It’s kind of strange that the packaging says to keep below 25 degrees C — after all, 24 degrees C is pretty warm, and most fridges operate in the single digits…
I don’t suppose you took a picture, did you?
No, no I didn’t. I freaked out, screamed a bit, and went straight to the rubbish chute to throw it out.
My mother said I should have kept it and brought it back to the shop – but no, I just wanted rid of it.
