A thousand tines this! It's like, oddly, the creators didn't respect or even liked their own characters?

I'm actually quite disappointed in episode 8 and 9, especially after the masterpiece that was episode 7. The plan was clearly all along that Billy had made everything up, but I just think it's such bad writing. It frankly shrinks the universe of the characters, since none of the magic and witchcraft turns out to be real. I had hoped for the characters to return to life at the end and get a proper send off, or at least for some Agatha/Rio backstory, or at least a finished Agatha story arch. I guess it's to be expected in a universe that centers around super heroes, but it's still a let down.

Alright, so this isn't entirely accurate. Since Sweden actually has a working Food Agency, here's some advice and information (translated by AI, so be patient).

Do not eat food that has molded

Food that has molded becomes unappetizing. Mold fungi can also produce toxins. These mold toxins can be more or less harmful to health. The toxins are invisible, and you cannot tell by looking at a moldy food item whether it contains mold toxins or not.

The general advice from the National Food Agency is therefore not to eat food that has molded. But there are some exceptions. For certain foods, you can remove the moldy part and eat the rest. Further down the page, you will find a list of foods that you can eat after removing the mold.

Mold toxins can spread inside many foods

In soft and watery fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes and pears, mold toxins can spread throughout the entire fruit or vegetable. In such cases, it does not help to cut away the mold. Figs, dates, and grapes that have molded could contain the mold toxins aflatoxin or ochratoxin A.

In bread that has molded, mold toxins can spread throughout the entire loaf because the mold fungus has thin threads – hyphae – that can easily grow into the porous bread.

If mold has formed in juice, mold toxins can spread throughout the entire bottle of juice.

Lack of knowledge about firm vegetables

When it comes to firm vegetables such as carrots and other root vegetables, as well as various types of cabbage, we do not know if it is safe to eat them after cutting away the mold. There are currently no studies that have investigated this.

These foods can be eaten even if they have started to mold a little

Apples, potatoes, and citrus fruits, such as oranges: Cut away small mold spots with at least a two-centimeter margin. Then you can eat the rest. Mold toxins cannot spread far from the actual mold spot in apples and potatoes. Citrus fruits are mainly attacked by mold fungi that do not produce mold toxins. Additionally, the thick peel acts as a protection.

Jam and puree: Jam and puree where at least 500 grams of sugar per kilogram of berries or fruit (33 grams of sugar per 100 grams of finished jam or puree) have been added can be eaten if you first remove the mold layer with about a two-centimeter margin. Discard moldy jam or puree with less added sugar.

Hard cheese: Cut away mold spots with at least a two-centimeter margin. The rest can be eaten. Mold toxins cannot spread far from the actual mold spot in hard cheese.

Nuts and dried fruit: Sort out discolored, shriveled, and visibly moldy nuts or dried fruits as they may contain mold toxins. The rest can be eaten. Split Brazil nuts before eating. In Brazil nuts, the mold often sits in the middle and is not visible from the outside.

Packages of fruit or vegetables where only a few have molded: In packages of fruit or vegetables, it may happen that only one or a few items have molded. Remove the moldy ones. The rest are fine to eat. Mold toxins do not form if there is no mold infestation. Fruits, vegetables, or berries that do not have visible mold infestations do not contain mold toxins even if they have been next to moldy ones.

Tips: how to prevent mold

By taking care of, storing, and preparing food properly, you can prevent food from molding. This way, you avoid ingesting mold toxins and also reduce food waste.

Bread: Divide the bread into smaller packages and freeze.

Berries: Store berries as cool as possible for short-term storage. For long-term storage, freeze them.

Fruits and vegetables: Ensure that fruits and vegetables are not damaged. Mold fungi can take hold if the skin is damaged. This is especially true for thin-skinned fruits like tomatoes, pears, and nectarines. Ensure that fruits and vegetables do not become damp. Store them cool, preferably in the refrigerator. They will not mold as quickly. But keep in mind that some fruits and vegetables can get cold damage at too low temperatures.

Juice: Never use moldy berries to make juice. When making juice, use clean, preferably heated, bottles and screw on the lid immediately after filling. A combination of sugar and preservatives delays mold infestation. You can also freeze the juice and take out small portions at a time. Mold cannot form in the freezer.

Jam and puree: Never use moldy berries or fruits for jam or puree. Freeze jam or puree that contains less than 500 grams of sugar per kilogram of berries or fruit. This corresponds to 33 grams of sugar per 100 grams of finished jam or puree. Mold cannot form in the freezer.

Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:

Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.

You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.

When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.

A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)

Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)

The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.

Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.

Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.
