Honey fans eating literal bug vomit.

Mushroom fans eating literal reproductive organs.

Lots of things sound gross when you think about their origins. Just eat what you like.

Or every other cheese, or yogurt, sour cream, etc...

It's like everyone puts on their blinders. Every time you hear cultured, fermented, or the big ol' stupid blanket term "probiotic", it means bacteria, mold, or yeast. Every time you hear "active", that means it's live organisms.

We all love to eat bacteria, mold and yeast. It all depends on the type.

Blue cheese is one of the most tasty cheeses. You can say I'm eating mold as many times as you want. I do not give a flying fuck. Shit is absolute S tier cheese.

Also some antibiotics are made from mold. People need to wake the fuck up and realize that blue cheese is god damn delicious.

Sauteed mushrooms and onions on a blackened burger with blue cheese on it is absolutely amazing and no one should deprive themselves of that lol

Are you also against penicillin? Because that's just refined mold.

Blue cheese is the best, and I will fist fight anyone who says otherwise.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 46 points 1 year ago (3 children)

No offense to blue cheese, but I don't know anybody who eats penicillin for the taste

Mold is a fungus. Same group as mushrooms, yeast, etc. Some mushrooms are edible and delicious. So are some molds. The mold in blue cheese is not the same as the kind that makes food inedible.

You don't eat blue cheese because you don't like the mold
I don't eat blue cheese because I can't afford it

We are not the same

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

[–] peto@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

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

Penicillium roqueforti is our friend! Unless it's in grain, then it makes toxic compounds and causes spoilage. So it's our frenemy.

Blue cheese is delicious though! Especially with hot wings!

Imagine thinking eating spoiled milk from a cow isn't weird, but the mold part is. There are quite a few cases where mold is good. It's not like blue cheese is the exception.

[–] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Pretty much anything containing some form bread, like pastries, pizza and well bread, is commonly made with yeast which is also a fungus just like mold.

That's nothing. There are even worse cheeses out there.

Also aspergillus is used in the production of ricewine and sake. Moldy food is all over the place.

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?

You can't eat a big bite of it. That's a rookie move. Just a little bit on a triscuit, maybe some mustard or salami with it, fucking mint.

Blue Cheese is the IPA of cheese. It has a lot of “flavor” which makes you think it’s “good” but… is it? It’s good, but not slap-your-own-mother amazingly life changing. I used to love it, but got tired of being punched in the face, and started to appreciate subtlety way more. Same with beers. I still like an IPA occasionally, if it’s of a higher quality, not just WE FUCKED ONE MILLION HOPS INTO THIS. It’s the same bullshit with “truffles”. Not really that good, thrown onto cheap garbage food to mark it up by $10. Again, the good, real truffles, are actually quite nice (and hard to come by for obvious reasons).

[–] Gimly@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't find blue cheese so strong. Some are, and they can become too strong if they are a bit old, but they can also be very delicate. There are also way stronger and more in your face cheese than blue cheese.

I respect your opinion but I hate that you've done this to me. I hate IPA (mainly because it's fucking everywhere now) but love blue cheese.

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@startrek.website 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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
