I had half-used glass of cherries in my fridge, and now I wonder whether I should have still eaten those. It had been opened for a few days, and the syrupy juice looked slightly foamy on top, but there was no mold and they didn't smell rotten or bad, and I didn't have anything else on hand to go with my left-over rice pudding, so I chanced it. However they did taste odd. Not bad at all, but slightly...prickly? in the pulp they had a mouthfeel a bit like something carbonated. They did not taste alcoholic as such, but I wonder whether there was some fermentation process going on, which would explain the foam. Well, I guess I'll find out soon enough whether they'll still agree with me. At least my stomach is usually quite robust...
