Inedible? Disgusting? Going by this thread, the growth of mold is, in itself, a whole range of cuisine....cheese and corn smut and et cetera.

I usually say that I'm an impure vegetarian....I eat milk products, and don't mind trying "non-vegetarian" food occasionally. Never liked anything enough to eat it regularly, though.
