Effects of Mouldy Coriander Dip on Human Physiology

I am proposing a scientific health experiment for the benefit of lovers of coriander dip and the broader public good. The first step is already complete.

Today I ate an entire tub of mouldy coriander dip. Partly because I love coriander dip and also partly because everything else in the fridge required heating to eat. This tub tasted rather funny to me, but the taste of deliciousness overpowered the taste of oddness sufficiently that I ate right to the bottom. I have often been curious to know if mouldy food is actually bad for you. This is especially relevant to coriander dip because it so often seems to go mouldy and because it is so tasty. I frequently want to eat a tub, only to find it is already off. Depending on the results of my experiment it is possible that we have all chosen not to eat mouldy tubs unnecessarily. While that is a sad thought, I think the benefits of knowing the truth are worth the immediate pain.

My experiment is thus.

  • Step 1: Eat entire tub of mouldy coriander dip
  • Step 2: Monitor self and check closely for vomiting

As you can see much of the hard work is already done. I will post the results as they come in.

Update: The results are in.
