It’s very difficult to kill and elephant I can’t think for a minute there’s a humane way to do it.
I’ve always thought that if you eat meat then you shouldn’t be fussy because no animal would ever volunteer to die for your plate but now I sit here reading that I realise I couldn’t eat elephant.
They’re too intelligent, they have self awareness and display empathy. I find those hurdles a bit much.

OK I think that's another discussion alltogether.
I love elephants. They are great animals and very intelligent.
They can also be destructive.
They are killed by poachers for their ivory and not because of their meat.

I happen to live in the small part of the world where the elephants are thriving.
Now an elephant eats up to 90 kg of greens every day and drinks 120 litres of water
And there is no unlimited land anymore.
So there's a problem. The elephants destroy the habitat of other animals.
Note that this is not the case in most countries, but something Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana struggle with.

I also don’t know when it was delivered AND it’s unpasteurised so I’m thinking it should probably go in the bin 😫

No, don't chuck it out; it's full of penicillin. Blue cheese is very, very forgiving. Just stick it in the fridge and enjoy it.

It’s still in the fridge.
I’m undecided.
But likely to bin it.
If it was pasteurised I’d defo try it.
But unpasteurised, cut with the rind no longer in tact left next to a radiator for gawd know how long.
Well Im not so keen.

I’m afraid my knowledge of microbiology is a little bit further on than that 😝
Plus we ran a dairy farm for decades so I know what’s ok and what’s not.
I just didn’t like the answer so came on here to ask instead and I have to say everyones done a fab job saying exactly what I want to hear, I’m not disappointed 😂

Now I'm confused. Which answer?

The real answer, the one I know is true and that is it’s now too much of risk. Unpasteurised dairy is a killer. Hell dairy can be a killer.
Like ice cream thats been up n down in temp too many times, you’re heading for your sick bed, or hospital, or a coffin.
But it’s not what I wanted to hear so thankyou everyone 😊
And if I suddenly disappear you can assume it’s because my body is inside out 😂
 
I'm just geussing here but I suspect @SSOAP saw something about blue cheese some other place and came here to get confirmation of what she heard, saw or read OR confirmation of what she thought. Obviously, the latter was the result :)

A well I know for sure it’s not wise at all to eat it as is.
Wouldn’t sell that to anyone.
But that’s not what I want the hear so I came to a forum of foodies who I knew wouldn't be able to bear the waste and will all have most certainly pushed the usual over zealous FSA’s advice more than once.
