I love blue cheese. I'm picky as fuck but somehow love blue cheese. Just blue cheese and some fresh crusty bread... Mmm

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's not blue cheese! It's mimonette, filled with bugs!

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

Either way, I'm allergic, so that checks out.

Mimolette is the cheese with bugs. (Well actually actually arachnids, but close enough)

What you're looking for is called Cazu Marzu, and it's illegal to sell it in most of the only region of the world that actually makes the stuff.

Based on what I can find, they are microscopic mites. You also have microscopic mites all over your face that you probably ingest at some point or another... So it's really not that weird.

The bugs living on the cheese are called "artisons" in France. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fromage_aux_artisons?wprov=sfla1

Ok, I can't think of a way to interpret this other than: OP eats cheese that looks like this. OP, if I'm right (and I hope I'm not) please see a physician.

Blue cheese is intentionally inoculated with mold. Specifically penicillium mold that is perfectly safe to eat.

If a cheese "naturally" develops mold, there's a good chance it could be harmful, so don't eat that

It's honestly so good.

Even if it goes great with wings? Lol it looks like blue cheese to me.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah, this isn't even that bad, just a little harmless mold. It's not like this is the one filled with live wriggling maggots

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world -3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I guess the mold is a blueish color, but that's mold. Not cheese. If a block of cheese in my fridge looks like that then I somehow managed to not return home for months and now need to throw out everything.

What.... what do you think the blue part of blue cheese is?

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've never thought about it. I've never even seen the stuff before. The name turned me away from ever trying it, and this thread is only cementing that.

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

It is a kind of mold, but not the common (disgusting and hazardous) stuff that grows on spoiled food.

That's about as smart as claiming the rat on your burger might be a 1000kg animal, but it has four legs and a tail, so it must be a rat.
