moldy bread
Forgotten sandwich material
Moldy bread is bread that has developed visible fungal growth, typically appearing as fuzzy patches of green, white, or blue.
The phrase serves as a stock example of spoiled food: There was nothing in the fridge but moldy bread and expired milk.
Figuratively, something described as moldy bread is stale, outdated, or past its usefulness.
