datelmd5sum,

I’ve grown to like a lot of tastes I’ve previously hated. Salted herring, olives, strong cheeses, whiskey… but moldy cheese is never going to happen. My body autonomously removes the piece of moldy food from my mouth and attempts to also empty my stomach just in case.

Chetzemoka,

You could actually have an allergy. I met one other person who had a mold allergy that was cross reactive with blue cheeses, and had a similar reaction to them

EatYouWell,

That definitely sounds like an allergic reaction to me.

psud,

And people are allergic to penicillin, which is that fungus, but super purified (as caffeine pills are to coffee, but more so)

To all of you cheese lovers: this is your Penicillium roqueforti, blue cheese mold, in a microbiology lab. Bon appetit

Not really the same thing, though. I also wouldn’t lick bacteria out of a petri dish, but I’ll happily eat yoghurt and sourdough bread.

kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E,

I am totally licking it.

Enk1,

Wait til you hear what’s in the pills they give you when you’ve got a bacterial infection. It’s gonna blow your mind

Sanyanov,

Most of simple antibiotics are of fungal nature, yes

Using life against itself.

Kolgeirr,

Hell yeah that looks delicious, throw that on a steak and lets eat.

marx2k,

Stop. I can only get so hard.

You didn't need to go to all the trouble, if you let some bread out in a humid place you'll get it all over it as well.

Still delicious.

Sanyanov,

Yeah, moldy bread will do (though it can contain some more nasty stuff as well)

Cheese doesn't sound that great when you think of it as milk that's been left in a cave for a year and infested with bacteria

Sagifurius,

That’s not what cheese is, generally. Blue cheese is that though. Cheese is converted into a solid form in the kitchen the first day, then aged.

squiblet, (edited )
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

How is that not what cheese is? As far as I understand, every cheese uses a bacterial culture, mesophilic or thermophilic. Blue cheese is different because it also has a fungal culture. But sure, usually it's put in on purpose when the cheese is made, not something that comes from the environment.

Sagifurius, (edited )

Traditionally is done by heating, separating and the introduction of rennet, which is an enzyme from calf guts that converts milk into a solid form that a herbivore can digest. This relates to why cows milk kills human infants and kittens but they can survive on goats. Cheese basically dates from ancient times when everyone was lactose intolerant but some farmer noticed how calves digest milk.

I have made some simple cheeses before and learned about rennet so i can feed vegetarians. Then what is this page about? It seems every common type of cheese has a bacterial culture.

peto,

Aged like milk has a lot less impact if you are good at it.

IrateAnteater,

“Aged like milk” can mean anything from “so awful it’s literally illegal” to “so good people will pay unreasonable amounts of money”.

LolaCat,
Aragaren,

Blue cheese mold is a banger!

OMG, you’re eating bread? Don’t you know that’s made with the same stuff that infects vaginas?!

funkless_eck,

you mean my cousin Joel?

supercriticalcheese,

Maybe is he a baker?

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Blue cheese is delicious though! Especially with hot wings!

prunerye,

I like to add a tiny dab to ginger snap cookies.

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

That sounds absurd but I kinda want to try it now lol

blanketswithsmallpox, (edited )

So you’re telling me for it to be edible it has to be on something that’s completely delicious on its own…

Also that’s still a hard pass. Even on the burger which is more of the same lol.

ChronosWing,

Nope, it’s perfectly delicious all by itself.

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Nope. What I said was it’s especially delicious with hot wings.

I can’t speak for everyone, but it’s been my experience that people don’t tend to just hunker down and eat a block of cheese by itself. Most cheeses are meant to go with something else, unless you’re Charlie Kelly getting ready for a big date.

blanketswithsmallpox, (edited )

I mean… tell that to every person who eats a pinch full of cheese any time they open a shredded bag…

Or fuck some up on a snack board. (I suppose that’s loosely with something else.)

But good cheese is definitely able to just be sliced and ate on the spot. Just make sure it’s off the block and BAM.

Blue cheese though? I’ll leave the stank foot blue waffle cheese to y’all.

Enk1,

Stuff raspberries with it. 🔥

IrateAnteater,

Or on a burger. Especially on a pepper crusted burger along with sauteed mushrooms.

CalamityBalls,
@CalamityBalls@kbin.social avatar

I've yet to find a burger that's better than just caramelised onions, blue cheese, and quality beef. I might add a leafy something out of arterial guilt, but I can't say it improves anything.

XbSuper,

Bacon, that burger needs bacon.

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Dang, now you’re making me hungry 🤤

pastaPersona,

Mfw downing shots of apple cider vinegar for “health benefits”

Crackhappy,
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

But there are health benefits. I mean, not as big as some people claim, for sure, but they do exist: …clevelandclinic.org/exploring-the-health-benefit…

@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah but it’s always about some rapid wait loss hack with these fads

fsxylo,

Blue cheese drizzled with honey and topped with pecans is great.

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

Honey and cheese in general – mwah. I like a fresh slice of challah with brie and honey on top.

Friendly reminder:

Unless you grow and/or slaughter ALL your own food, you have eaten and will continue to eat both the intentional and unintentional shit, piss, spit, and cum of food processors, transporters, and preparers your entire life.

I know that freaks a lot of people out, personally it just reminds me that the idea of being clean in this world has always been a illusion and that there’s no point obsessing over something out of my control.

If we wanted that to happen significantly less, we could compensate and respect said workers commensurate with their vital role to society, fulfilling a universal basic human need, instead of treating them like shit, paying them shit, and calling food preparation/processing/serving “unskilled,” but we won’t, so enjoy!

MudMan,
@MudMan@kbin.social avatar

Oh, you are giving a lot more credit to homemade food than it deserves. Or you're surprisingly alright with eating your own of all of the above.

AllonzeeLV,

Aren’t we all continuously eating our own spit?

MudMan,
@MudMan@kbin.social avatar

You left all the interesting ones out of that, though.

Lemjukes,

If you jerk off in a hot enough shower the cum scrambles just like eggs.

nyctre,

I assume you also find disgusting alcohol and all the other products obtained through fermentation? Or is stuff eaten by bacteria somehow better than fungi?

FishFace,

Alcohol is made by fungi, as is bread, and mushrooms are literal fungi.

squiblet,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

Blue cheese culture is literal fungi as well.

FishFace,

Yes, that’s why I mentioned mushrooms.

teft,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

I love it so much.

MudMan,
@MudMan@kbin.social avatar

It's amazing, but I never peer pressure anybody to try it.

Because it's great when there's a cheese board and you get to hoard the blue cheese because people are "ew, gross, mold".

neige,

are you a minority?

15liam20,

Mould *

ohlaph,

It’s do good though!

Ddhuud, (edited )

I’m sorry for your tongue. May it rest in peace.
