Looks... and smells can be deceiving.

Food often looks stunning, its presentation waters both the eye and the mouth in what can only be described as salivating and captivating.

However this is not the case with all foods.

Looks and smells often are deceiving.

Oysters are a key to this, slimy looking they taste, well nice, and the same applies to basically most seafood, all so slimy or odd looking (do I really want to eat that Salmon Head or fish skin?) but then it tastes alright.

And what about chocolate? You know that moment when it gets white spots on it (I am fairly certain that it is not mould) but being a university student, certain risks have to be made, as a student most money doesn’t budget for extra food than what you’ve got so eating that chocolate, milk going off tomorrow or chicken you’re not quite how long has been out for.

It’s all a risk that will either A) do nothing or B) piss your housemates off when they hear you throwing up all night long.

So what have you taken for a risk for food? Are looks and smells deceiving or do we need to take heed in them?
