Fred and his son Hakim were getting ready for dinner. Fred was making his famous "Pasta Surprise". The surprise is that he just mixes together whatever is left in the fridge and cooks it.
Fred asked Hakim to search the fridge for some cheese. After a few minutes of searching, all Hakim could find was old cheese with moldy spots in it. He asked his dad if the cheese was alright, but Fred knew for a fact that the cheese was perfectly fine.

Answer
The moldy-cheese was actually blue cheese. Blue cheese is a type of cheese in which mold is either injected into it, or mixed in with the curds. This type of mold is harmless to eat, unlike the typical mold you find on other cheeses when they've been improperly sealed for a long period of time.Hide Answer Show Answer
