    No we can't - there are limits, and even the most determined OSer can't resurrect items from the dead :eek: Get it in the bin :D

    OK, I will reveal to the MSE an ultra money saving, and nigh disgusting method for using this bread.

    It's called jailhouse wine.

    First, you get the cheapest juice you can find. Add sugar to it, in whatever form you can obtain, and then put in some mouldy bread. Cover with a sock.

    When it stops fizzing, it is ready. Or at least alcoholic. And, frankly you'd need to be alcoholic to drink it... it'll taste vile.

    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    Not sure what concerns me most. The fact that people actually do this to obtain alcohol or the fact that YOU know how to make it :rotfl:


    My first thought when looking at the pic was "would you like a little bread with your mould..........."

    That is bad Southernscouser:naughty::naughty: bin it now

    I know you're being lighthearted ;)but it is not true that OSers can do anything with 'gone off' food. We never eat food that has gone bad nor
    do we recommend it. However we often advise people to use their common sense to decide whether food that is past its sell-by/use-by date is still safe to eat -it usually is.

    That bread isn't:D

    Yes you can do something OS with it. Next time you get a bad cut or graze saok the bread and put it on the wound and cover with bandage. Bread poultices were quite effective in olden times because of the penicillen but they didnt know what that was in those days they only knew the bread worked.
    far cheaper than stufrf like germoline.:D
