Joe found this in Jackson's bed while helping him look for his tin whistle. Leave me a comment with your guess as to what on earth it is and the first person with the most correct answer will win. I'll annouce the winner on Friday. The prize will be a set of new Tupperware containers to help keep your food fresh even when it's been in a backpack for a month. :)
Mmmmmm, now that's good eats!

Something bready, perhaps a sandwhich?
I can't really look at it too long.
carrot cake?
I can't really tell from the picture, but knowing what kids like to eat, I'm going to guess pizza? Or would that be eaten and not stashed? Hmmm...
Oh boy... I say it's piece of cheesecake... or was a piece of cheesecake.
Au Gratin Potatoes. Betty Crocker brand? :P
Ummmmm-Lime Koolaid Fish????? Yummy!
Holly C.
That looks like part of some sort of sandwich...I'll guess peanut butter and banana?
Hi, Dawn,
Well. . .it's pretty disgusting looking, I can tell you that!! haha
Is it a piece of lemon meringue pie? I know that's a strange guess, considering that it was found IN his bed, but that's what it looks like to me!
Donna :)
Well going by the first photo it looks chocolate, and it looks a bit rounded so I'm guessing either a cupcake or a corner piece of cake!
OMG I'm so glad I'm not the only one to have this problem on occasion!
Wow! That's pretty gross. Is it some sort of sandwich? Grilled cheese, perhaps?
It could be just about anything! :-)
Eeeeeeeeew.
Um... a grilled cheese sammich?
Looks like macaroni and cheese
My guess is a brownie!
Hmmm...it looks like a pasta dish of some sort. Maybe lasagne?
Is it a piece of pie? Maybe apple pie?
Hard to tell, but I'm going to have to guess a grilled cheese sandwich
Oooh, oooh, ooh! I think I know! Is is Lasagna?
I had to guess again after I had another look at your pictures, because I could really use some new Tupperware! :-)
Hmmm... grilled cheese?
I'm guessing - a fire-toasted marshmallow!
And for the record, whatever it is, it's really really gross to have been found in a bed!
Some sort of cake or bread? Regardless, it's pretty disgusting!
OMG that is so gross! I will take a guess. I say it used to be a peanut butter sandwich??
Donna from Brockport NY
I'm gonna have to go with grilled cheese sandwich (or ex-sandwich anyway). I could use some new Tupperware. My daughters keep using mine to take spaghetti to school for lunch. By the time they remember to put it in the sink it looks like a tribble nested in it. Argh!
Rachel

OK...It's either cheese, or a moldy sandwich.
To me it looks like a slab of cream cheese...gone horribly, horribly wrong.
Fun idea though and oh so brave!
Nasty! My first thought was angel food cake, so I'll stick with that :)
Ewww! It looks like either Lasagna or Potatoes Au'Gratin. I am sure I will be finding my share of Gross Food soon enough!
Wow--you found it in his BED?? Holy smokes...
My guess: a cheese sandwich
Yeah, I'm going to go with some sort of cheesy potatoes. Man, that's bad!
I've got 2 guesses:
Left over fried-egg sandwich
or
bagel with cream cheese.
My wife's "educated" guess would be a marshmallow.
Eeew... My guess is the moldy remains of a roll or biscuit.
I would have to say soft taco......YUMMY! hahahaha
Is it or WAS it a bagel with cream cheese ??????? UGH!!!
marklovessue@numail.org
Sue
Its a sandwhich with cheese and possibly a lunch meat of some sorts?
Im going with my first initial thought which is an orange, though number 1 and number 3 are throwing me off.
LOLOL....I say MacNcheese
Well, what is it???
Love your blog
Andrea
I don't know, but if I keep having to look at those photos I'm going to be looking at something just like it right here in my own bathroom.
Oh well, I'll take a stab at it... The pancakes Joe made while you were down under, I mean Texas?
http://organizeddoodles.blogspot.com/
Is it or WAS it a veggie bagel with cream cheese??
It IS GROSS whatever it is! Hope I win
Sue
marklovessue@numail.org
I think I see some noodle action going on...so, stroganoff, baked? I see a crust, too. Weird!
Something that belongs in the garbage and not in his bed.
Looks like a grilled cheese sandwich. Did it also have some egg in it, too? The 2nd picture looks like there's egg in it.
Apple Pie?
cheesecake! and that's just plain nasty!
A chocolate cupcake! With frosting!
my 7 yo daughter and I guess a Ham and cheese buiscut-maybe with egg....She cannot understand finding food in a bed...unless the kid was grounded-HA!
Hi dawn, My guess is a chocolate piece of cheesecake. Joyce
A bagel?
Scalloped Potatoes?
a little debbie brownie
That's disgusting :)
I'm going with a half-eaten turkey and cheese on wheat.
Huh- even after seeing that, strangely enough, I'm kinda hungry...
Ugh it eat my previous comment...here we go again: My guess is a sausage and egg sandwich. Whatever it is, it is beyond NASTY!!! My children, thank GOD, do not eat anywhere but the kitchen table, and immediately go and wash their hands and face when they are finished. I dont know what I would do if I found something like that in their room...DIE probably!!! What in the world was he thinking?!?!?!?
Peanut butter on pumpernickle?
Ok, so it's really gross. Not sure I have ever found anything quite so "interesting" in a bed before.
MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Peanut butter sandwich
Lasagna?
Whatever it is, it's Nas-ty!
Please please PLEASE let it not be chicken pot pie (any guesses as to what I'm having for dinner tonight?)!
I'm also extremely grateful to have never found such ... items in my kids' beds so far. Knock on wood they'll be old enough to clean it when I do!
Michelle
A bagel with chicken and then topped with swiss cheese.
Perhaps that son will become a great scientist someday. Afterall, penicillin derived from mold! ewwww
Oh no... I just looked again (what's wrong with me!) and that sorta looks like Chicago style deep dish pizza. Please tell me it's not!
Michelle
Grilled Turkey & Cheese Sandwich
Lisa
Madamelisa69@aol.com
Pennicillin?????? LOL
Cheesy Pasta
I'm going to guess, either a sandwich, poptart or one of those 'cereal with milk' bars.
Some sort of a HotPocket type thing. I know... a pepperoni roll?! Or rather just a cheese roll!
Let me put it this way, dough wrapped around a cheese type substance, baked and then left in a container in a backpack that was dumped on a child's bed when said child came home from school. It then sat in/on/under the bed for at least a full week, if not two. Developing into this amazing pastry that would be loved by the fat rat on ratatouille . ;)
A piece of string cheese?
That last pic looks like pasta... or maybe cheese. So I'm guessing a swiss cheese sandwich...
My mom found a petrified PB&J under my brother's bed once...
Turkey and cheese sandwich?
my guess is a buttered pancake sans syrup!
Yikes!! Looks like a good way to stick to a diet! BTW, I hate to ask b/c I know you mentioned earlier it wasn't going so well with Weight Watchers, but wanted to see if you got back on board. I know it's tough tho, I still struggle to stay on track after years of being a "lifer" with them so I totally empathize. If you need a little inspiration or just a giggle I recently did a blog post on the subject called "Weight Watching, Gaining, Losing, & Maintaining" (Yeah, I know, in all your free time to read!!)
My guess would be either grilled cheese or cheese quesidilla.
Whatever it is, you could sell it for a fortune to companies that manufacture penicillin! Who needs money from blogging when you can make money from things growing in your bed?!
Hmmm....that's a tough one. Pie? Or Augratin Potatoes?
I don't know what everyone's problem is...they obviously don't have a clue what it's like to have six kids...eat only at the table, whatever. Wash their hands and face immediately after, give me a break.
The fave at my house was a half-dozen eggs found under my son's bed...carton in the fridge...did he carry them upstairs one by one? He told me it was his food storage...just in case. See, these kids are thinkin'. In a big family, they have to look out for themselves!
To me it looks like one of those premade pbj sanwiches. Just a total guess I even saved picture and zoomed in.
BLEUGHYUKYUKYUK!
I have absolutely NO FRIPPIN' idea but it honestly made ne NAUSEOUS!
Seriously.nauseous.
ugh.
:)
Eww. I guess an English muffin.
An orange
Turkey and Swiss n Wonder White Bread with Calcium.
I'm guessing a piece of American cheese. The kind in the plastic wrapper.
An Orange Peel
it looks like a really old piece of pizza
Looks like a turkey and cheese sandwich to me
Ham and Cheese Hot pocket?
-RachelV
It looks like maybe it was once shaped like a pisce of pie, but it held together well enough to maybe be a piece of cheesecake? Does he even remember what it was?
My guess is a tuna sandwhich or a BLT sandwhich. I just can't decide between the two. How long was that in the bed? Wow.
A piece of apple pie (in a muffin tin form)?
I was surprised to find a stash of chicken bones in my son's bed. Ouch! You just never know.
EWWWWWWWW!!! Something sandwichy or pizza? How in the world do they get out of the dining room with their food? Looks like the nasty stuff I found in my fridge last week.
Shari
An Uncrustable peanutbutter and jelly sandwitch?
It IS a mildewed mess that I believe looks like it has a spider's egg sack on it. The 3rd picture looks like that might have been an ear at some point, and the last picture is of something I sneezed up last week while not taking my allergy medicine.
As for what it was a casserole with a piece of bread. Please tell me it was in some kind of container or you threw away the sheets it was found in!
English muffin?? Maybe with some egg or cheese?
I thought we were gross cleaning tonight to try to find where the throw up smell is coming from (two little ones have been throwing up for a couple days) we found it, between the cushions of the leather couch. Yeah. Anyway, I am guessing a frozen rhoads roll, thawned with butter.
English Muffin? With egg or cheese?
Certainly not a McMuffin. Those would NEVER mold.
Turkey (no cheese) on Sara Lee wheat bread?
A grilled cheese sandwich.
I am thinking Lemon Meringue Pie as well. Although seems a little messy to be in the bed, lol, unless he sleeps in a double at least?
Fried apple pie like you find in a vending machine.
How did you figure out what it was? LOL
Somebody needs to become a ziploc whore like Manic Mommy is!
At first glance I was thinking PB&J, then I thought it might be Clay's eggs.
DISGUSTING.
How do you not get bugs? Oh yeah--FREEZING FRICKING COLD WEATHER!
I have no clue what that could be. I am wondering how it stayed in one piece in his bed. Did'nt he roll on it at some point or maybe it was in the tupperware you are giving away! Kristine in Michigan.
bologna and cheese on white bread
My 8 year old son guesses a turkey on wheat sandwich. He also thinks it is gross and we agree that any food that he doesn't want to eat he will just throw away. In the trash. Where I believe several of my knives have gone, I'm guessing after they were dipped in the peanut butter jar.
Margaret and Michael
mdunlap@hotmail.com
I'm guessing a muffin of some sort! It's very disgusting and has really curbed my appetite...maybe I should stare at it when I want another piece of pizza :)
Well it is obviously a penicillin factory at work. With the cold weather us IL folk are having and the recession the economy is facing; you need to pinch pennies somewhere in case you get the super bacteria germ of the decade infestation.
I would say a brownie and a cheese sandwich on white bread.
someone's probably already guessed this, but your pictures look remarkably like a chunk of cheese that my kids broke off the block and snuck away with once! :)
I believe I recognize cheese in its final forms...mmmm yummo!
I have 5 of my own and they ate on the couch so much mice started living in it. We dont have a kitchen couch anymore
And of course the rule is to eat at the table and wash their hands! Dont mean they're doing it!!
Oatmeal pie sandwich cookie from around the time of the dinosaurs?
grilled cheese sandwich, complete with a new case of penicillan. yum!
I'm going with a biscuit! Yep..thats my final answer!
i'm going with grilled cheese!
Oh thank GOD you don't live here in Florida! You'd have a trail of ants leading you to the offending item! That is, if the larger varieties didn't get it first. Yeecch. I am a __freak__ about no food in the bedrooms. You would be too if you had survived my insectitales. I almost wish that I lived up north at times! But I get over it at 80 degrees plus times like this week. Kay, now that you hate my smug little arse... I will guess that it's a lemon pudding pie. It definately looks pie crusty under that mold. Pretty flaky actually. Pillsburyish. Held up rather well!
Tory in Florida
tmiller303@cfl.rr.com
It looks like a really disgusting fig newton.
Actually, it looks like something the cat yackked up.
URGH that's just so icky!! LOL
Gross. I think I might have nightmares.
It's definitely not something from McDonalds because that stuff doesn't mold. Maybe it's lasagna?
Lori
LOL Was that once part of a grilled cheese sandwich?
Pizza crust--and what's with these people guessing cake!?!?! What kid stashes a cupcake and doesn't get back to it (or have it stolen by a sibling/desperate-Weight-Watcher-Mom-in-need-of-dessert. "Look honey, no points...salvage finds in the kids' beds don't count!!!!"
Dee
I am going to have to go with lasagna. Urp.
MMM. Looks like the second half of a grilled cheese sandwich - and not the american cheese kind, either. That crap is too processed to get that moldy!
Peanut butter something sandwich, maybe PB and Banana?
Thx for allowing a childless 'mom' to live vicariously through you.
I'm thinking maybe a hot pocket?? Tanya
Lasagna or something w/pasta. Wiggly-lasagna-looking pasta:) Oh, and EWW!
A PB & J Sandwich
i'm going to go with turkey and cheese sandwich. probably wheat bread.
My guess is a tuna fish sandwich.
Shells and cheese or macaroni and cheese?
I'm going to have to guess a Tuna Sandwich.
Whatever it is...YUCK!
My first thought was an Uncrustables PB&J. I see that someone else thought that too. Dried peanut butter looks alot like dried velveta cheese. Don't ask why I know this....Eeeeww!
Denese
Oh , I hope Joe only FOUND it, rather than plunging his hand into it!
I'm guessing a hunk of cheddar cheese?
Yuck! I am going to go with a donut!
Ok, it is looking a lil flakey. So I would guess fish. Looking a lil orange so I guess I will go for Salmon over tuna. Salmon. But what is it doing in a kid bedroom. My kids wont even touch salmon. I give you a high five for even getting your kiddos to touch fish even if it is with their fingers.
Ruth :)
I'm guessing a cheeseburger.
Ummmm....A Peanut Butter and Cheese Sandwich????
My guess is something in a tortilla...a taco, burrito or "cheese melt" (quesadilla)?
My guess is a ham and cheese sandwhich. I have problems finding moldy food, too... except they're from my husband!
Couple of guesses, a pop tart or maybe an orange. Anyway, I can't imagine how bad that must have smelled.
Kathy
flakey biscut with cheese... very nasty.
I'm gonna go with Brownie or a Moon Pie!
How the heck can you tell, other than gross!!!! EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!
My vote is a brownie or chocolate cupcake/cake. But I'm going w/brownie.
I think it's a turkey breast sandwich....but let's face it, whatever it is, it is DISGUSTING!!! :-D
I say it's a cupcake! (Hi, I just saw your link off of my friends Gail and had to take a peek. I love your header..that is so fun!!!)
Looks like a moldy bagel.
It's gotta be lasagna...or some sort of layered pasta! I've seen this varment before!
TRUE STORY...my daughter was about 8 y.o. when one day, she came home from school absolutely FAMISHED. She plopped open the fridge, and grabbed an old pork chop out of a plastic bag. "WWWWHHHHHOOOOA!" I yelled out. "That's too old to eat!" Her response? "Well, what have you got in there for? To fool hungry little children?????!!!!"
Hope I win! It's been about 30 years since I had any new tupperware!
Nancy Binky
That is totally a piece of brownie,uh...from the corner of the pan! Did you say it was IN his bed? Time to change the sheets perhaps?!?
First time to comment on your blog. I was turned on to it by the blog roll at Tea and Bonbons With Amy. Good reading you got here. In depth and entertaining!
I am going to guess that this used to be either a breadstick or a cinnamon roll?????
I do believe it is pizza. The top picture looks like what was a crust and the bottom picture looks like what used to be cheese.
What is it? Well, it's moldy, rotten food ofcourse!
It probably used to be a sandwich of some sort.
I know what you're going through- finding gross food and stuff. You do not want to know what I found under my couch a few weeks ago!
Hmmm, slice of cheese with mayo on bread, untoasted or grilled, with the crust on.
Sandwich: bread with the crust on, mayo, and a slice or two of American cheese, yum!
The first photo makes me think it's a bagel, the 2nd a rice cake or a bagel and the last possibly peanut butter on bread/bagel. The third photo has me completely stumped. Whatever it is it sure is gross and thankfully aside from the numerous beverages I find splashed all over my house (including the Simpsons monopoly game that is permanently stuck to the underside of my coffee table/games box thanks to babies up-ending chocolate milk and it seeping through the cracks in the wood)I haven't found any nasty 'what was once' food items.
Ya know, I was thinking of posting the back pack gunk too, but I need a clairvoyant reader to tell me what it is. I didn't post last time cuz I found it on the way out the door when I was wondering what fruit flies were doing flying around above the backpacks hanging on their hooks there by the door in the dead of winter. I found out that I need to look in the side pocket more often. I would've taken a picture, but being in a big hurry, I couldn't! The world will never know what it was. This one is tricky with the different angles. Some definitely look like a salmon baked in koolaid but others look more like cheesecake. Ick!
I am guessing pancakes... yummy!!
Charlotte
I think it is a custard tart?
Either that or Lemon Merigue Pie?
That is so gross though lol
Yuck , looks like a cupcake with frosting , or a bagel with cream cheese !
A brownie.
my guess would be a piece of quiche...
my brother used to hide hot dogs in his bed.... why ????
em@ramble-on-rose.com
Yuck!
I think it is - I mean was - a grilled cheese sandwich or cheese pizza, I'd say from approximately 6 1/2 weeks ago.
Again, YUCK!!!
I hope Joe disposed of the gloves he used to retrieve this from the bed. LOL.
Definitely going with a hunk o cheese. My 4 yo sneaks that often, she calls herself the "Cheese Monster". Found a quarter pound chunk still in it's ziploc, complete with a Pampered Chef paring knife so she could cut her finger off while trying to slice up her midnight snack, nestled snugly in a pocket of her over the door shoe hanger. Apparently she'd forgotten about her stashed snack, it looked like it had been a few weeks.
Hmmm... I'm guessing lasagne, or some other pasta/cheesy dish :P
I'm guessing a cheese sandwich or cheese with turkey/chicken sandwich with a delightfully generous helping of mold in it's various forms.
I'm pretty sure that's what a ham and cheese sandwich looks like after a kid doesn't want to eat his "from-home lunch" and it sits for a month in a backpack. Yuck-o!
I live in fear of finding something like that in my daughter's bed. Her room reminds me of a war zone or the damage left behind after a tornado.
My first thought on seeing this scary thing was "ewwww!" My second thought was "grilled cheese sandwich," but that white stuff looks a lot like frosting. Maybe a cinnamon roll?
My guess is a tuna sandwich with American cheese on wheat bread.
I am not sure but I do know I won't be eating breakfast anytime soon. Yowsa!
Kelly in MA

That is definitely a cheeseburger from McDonalds.
Dawn,
I can't read your blog. My screen has bandwidth exceeded - photobucket across the whole thing!! Hopefully I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.
It looks like part of a baked potato...well, at least what used to be a baked potato.
I thought at first - grilled cheese! Someone already guessed that. Then I thought, grilled ham and cheddar cheese. Nope, someone guessed that, too. So I'm going WAY out on a limb here - is it (or should I say WAS it) quiche of some sort?
Whatever it is, it's growing legs. Blech!
My guess is a turkey, swiss sandwich and for this I may never have one again.
My guess is a grilled cheese sandwich.
To me it looks like an Entemans(sp?) danish thing, Like a cream cheese crumb one.
I would have to say pizza..........
English Muffin?
You don't have to post this -
when I look at your page the complete background (like 40 small pics) says bandwidth exceeded - photobucket - upgrade to Pro today!
Is this your blogpage or my computer?
Tammy
A turkey and cheese sandwhich. Mmmmmm...
Pancake??
Lemon meringue Pie???
I find great humour in that....never leave a baby bottle in the diaper bag for the weekend...wow is that gross
mommyx3ca2001@yahoo.com
Oh boy - a corner piece of either baked ziti or lasagna? But I just can't imagine either of those being transported to a bedroom with or without a plate and left in a bed. So I'll guess one more - maybe one of those tastycake things - like a butterscotch krimpet?
Looks like a grilled Cheese sandwich to me.
Hmmm. Concrete, rocks and dirt. Strange thing to feed your kids though ; )
Okay, first, I'm having issues seeing the page at all....got the aweful screen of death...or rather, photobucket saying that you've exceeded your bandwidth....makes it very difficult to read things. However, those pictures are just plain disgusting...I'd say it was either a pizza crust, or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich...either way, DISGUSTIN!
Really, I ignore what it was, but I can suppose what it is actually, a kind of lichen on a something fossilised. Maybe, some mushrooms, and I hear some acarids yelling
"yum!". Can you give us a clue? What does it smell?
Oh, finally, I won't be able to come at your home for diner as scheduled. No, really, I can't :)
catherine
A sausage biscuit????????
I'm thinking cheesecake.
-Lisa P.
OK, I'll guess. How about a banana cream pie? I have 2 boys and get surprises daily. ~Jody IA
I thought I saw a noodle in there so my guess is Fettucine Alfredo.
I would guess a ham and cheese sandwich...
I'm guessing a ham sandwich !!! And an old one at that!
Ok, now that I can see the pics, I don't need tupperware that badly. I just need to quit looking at that before I barf. Am I right that your son has a captain's bed and when you say it was in his bed, you don't mean between the sheets? Please say that's the case. My 4 year old looked at the pictures and said, "GRRRROSSSSS!" Hopefully he keeps that mindset.
A chunk of cheese.
Looks like a brownie or some sort of Chocolate cake
Breakfast Sandwich!!?!?! Ewww, YUK!
I think it is the leftover Lou Malnatis pizza that you had on New Years Eve.
-Donna W.
Yum! I'm guessing it is a Grands Flaky Layers Biscuit. Whatever it is, it looks like it's a good thing your husband found it when he did! It may have taken on a life of its own soon!
a pancake?
Oh my! Maybe I'm weird, but my first thought wasn't about the food, but about HOW OFTEN DO THE SHEETS GET CHANGED???? LOL Something that far into the "process" would need to be there quite sometime, and it would seem that it would need some moisture for that much fluff to appear like cotton. I'm thinking some type of sandwich also - but the old cheese I find is hard - but maybe the moisture of the bread changes the chemistry? I'm going to say tuna fish sandwhich... mayo would have that much moisture... hmmm what did it smell like??? And did you get the sheets clean??? Do you need a new set of sheets, matress pad, matress? after that??? yum!
Pam (Seattle)
PS: I could use some new Tupperware! I have orange and green from my mom's 70's kitchen - I bet I could sell it on e-bay in the vintage area! hmmm I could hire you to write the ad!
a pancake?
Well, it looks like a tuna noodle casserole sandwich. I can totally see a kid building a creation such as this.
Country Rana
I'm not even going to guess since soo many people had some great ideas. What amazes me, is he actually slept with this in his bed!! Am I right? eww!! and here I get blown away at how many pairs of socks are in my nine year olds bed!! I feel for you Dawn!!!
I say it is a Turkey sandwich with cheese on White bread.
YUCK!!, as I have found something similar to that in my closet in a bag that my kiddo had borrowed, I say its a peanut butter sandwich.
MaBunny
Pizza?
My guess is lemon meringue pie...that was my first thought. No matter what it is...eeeewwwwww.
Chris in PA
Wow, that's really gross...lol.
My guess is a cheese sandwich.
(o;
My Spidey sense tells me that, at one time, that was a turkey and cheese sandwich.
My guess is a blueberry muffin. And too funny reading all the prim and proper mom responses that they don't allow food in the bedrooms. I'm sure you must encourage the moldy buffet idea b/c we all know that if you didn't "allow" it, it would never happen. HAHA!!!! That theory worked wonders for us until we caught our kids via the mouse that was going back and forth between their rooms. Only in heaven will we have kids that never disobey!
My guess is an egg McMuffin. Hanppy Hunting!
