Mold on hams/bacon other pork products

[Rasputin_Vol]

I've heard of several people eating country hams that had been rolling around in the back of their vans or station wagons for several years and saying they were good to eat once they cut the mold away, but I just pulled some molded bacon out my fridge and was wondering if that was any good?

Grandfather would take a knife and scrape it.

You could try it.

Doubt it, bacon has lots of moisture moisture compared to ham, it's likely bad through. That said, if you char it it will probably edible

That's what survival school taught me.

Salt cured pork is, iirc, a total different world than store bought bacon.

Considering how bad regular bacon is for arteries, nuking/charring/scrapping rotting bacon probably won't make it any more toxic to your circulatory system. The gut might take exception though.

It's the waste of the organisms that is toxic. Even if you kill the organism with heat, you are still eating their poop and piss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycotoxin

You should never eat anything with fungus on it unless it is part of a controlled culture (e.g. blue cheese)

According to Ricky Skaggs (and Big Mon), you can't hurt ham.

If you eat at Chinese buffets -- you most likely eat mold and other stuff
