Was at a friend’s house in like middle school or something. Went to get a big glass of milk from the fridge after playing outside. Pour into glass, don’t pay close attention, take a big swig and my mouth fills with curdling milk that my friends mom was going to use for baking or whatever you’d use curdled milk for. Still vividly remember the texture and the taste... so disgusting.

Reminds me of a strawberry about 10 years ago. Beautiful, big, red, unmarred strawberry. I take a bite out of it, and as I pull it away from my mouth I see that the entire inside is filled with the remaining half of a living worm, along with a great deal of what I assume were its excretions. I see this just as the taste hits me. My wife heard the noise I made from across the house and assumed I was being histrionic, but she changed her mind once she saw the remains of the strawberry! In fact I think she came closer to vomiting than I did—fortunately I was right in front of the sink, so was able to spit it out and wash out my mouth immediately... It was years before I ate another strawberry without first cutting it in half.

  Harvested some legal cannabis recently and on the advice of some forum users decided to try washing my buds. I'm damn glad I did. It was a three bucket rinse, the first with lime juice in hot water, then hot water, then cold water. I thought it was some hippy bullshit, but I had little to loose. The first bucket was just pitch black by the end of the washing. I dumped out the water straight into the toilet and soot dripped out at the end. Then I gagged when I saw probably two dozen drowned caterpillars by the end of all the washing. Who knows how much ash, pollution, and insect I've been smoking all these years.

    I mean, the ash part is kind of inevitable.

    Just did a hydrox dip after harvest about a week ago. Water didn't go black but it fizzed up pretty bad and had a lot of crap in it by the end. Couldn't even see the bottom of the wash bucket by the end. Dunno what you did that yours turned black, are you sure you didn't get a bunch of soil in the water? There shouldn't be tar or ash on live weed plants. It does make me question smoking any undipped pot though.

      It was probably from the wildfires this season, although I do live 2000 feet from a freeway.

        Were you growing indoors or outdoors? We got pretty smokey here from the wildfires, like a few weeks of constant haze, itching eyes and tasting and smelling smoke. I had not filters on the intakes or anything. The freeway may not help either.

        This was outdoor.

    Are you on the West coast of North America? I wonder if the black was from wild fire smoke/ash.
    - asdff 6y ago
      Yep and it probably was. There were a few days before harvest where the air tasted like campfire, and the nearest fire was 50 miles away.

  Reminds me of the time I bit into a big juicy overripe peach I'd just picked from the tree in our back yard. What seemed like hundreds of earwigs poured out, crawling all over my hand with some in my mouth.

Back when my daughter was an infant, I got up for one of those late night feedings. The goal was to not fully wake myself up, so I kept all the lights off. But since I was up anyway... why not have a little midnight of that leftover birthday cake on the counter? I cut a slice in the dark kitchen and took a big bite. Why does this cake taste exactly like bleu cheese? OH SHIT. Turned on the light and discovered I was eating cake covered in giant blotches of blue-black mold. It took a long time to get the taste out of my mouth.

I always smell the milk and look at the texture being poured before drinking milk. Amusing: once had milk that was well past the date, but not stinky, microwaved it (kid liked it warm for cereal - don't judge) and it curdled after being warmed. Tasted like fresh yoghurt. I didn't eat the whole thing.

You can use it to flavor baked goods or cheesy dishes. It can also be used to make cottage cheese or yogurt. If you plan to cook with it, read up on what you're doing beforehand, and be aware that curdled milk and spoiled milk and VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

  I sometimes freeze milk, so the sell-by date is no indicator of how long it may have been in the fridge. To point out a key difference between curdled and spoiled, there's not necessarily any smell or texture to indicate that milk has spoiled, and it isn't necessarily 'sour'. For instance, my senses told me the tall glass I poured from a jug dated six months prior and downed half of in one gulp was regular milk at first, but if you'd blindfolded me, I'd have sworn from the coating left in my mouth and throat after I'd swallowed that I'd just drunk a glass of fish sauce. Its odor wasn't even detectable until the milk had warmed. I surprisingly didn't get sick at the time, but just thinking about it now gets me very close.
