Wine is spoiled grapes, all cheese is just milk you left out for so long it got dry and sausages are what happens when you disembowel a pig and stuff its guts with its own minced ass. Today I ate a thing that looks like the first draft of an Aliens facehugger they rejected for being too spiky.
People buy food so processed they forget we're just gross hungry animals just putting random things in their mouths to see if it keeps them alive for a bit.
“Cheese is just milk gone off big time styly.” - Stephen Fry
Sausages are also commonly inoculated with mold. The powdery coating on aged salami is Penicillium nalgiovense.
And some of the fanciest, most expensive wines are made from moldy grapes. Botrytis cinerea, when consistently wet and humid, causes "grey rot" which spoils the grapes. When it dries out, though, it becomes the "noble rot" which is prized.
Absolutely, if you've ever made the types of sausages for cold cuts at home it's very obvious. People think the white powdery thing is just cool packaging (and to be fair in ultraprocessed crap it can be), but nope, that stuff is transparent when you get started.
Also, the "transparent stuff"? Disemboweled guts. I mean, the mold should be the least of your concerns if you're going by gross-out factor.
