This can certainly vary depending on whether it's hard or soft cheese. Fresh or aged. But if you saw this in your fridge, would you try to salvage it?

This is what was left of a 1lb block of a Guernsey cheddar.

EDIT: For the record, I cut off the edges and saved the cheese. It was actually just used to make a very tasty chicken quesadilla.

EDIT 2: For the "corner cutters", I did finish what was left. Nothing was wasted. For the "block tossers", I am happy to report I am still alive and did not get sick.
