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 start 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
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.
IPA is a great comparison (and I hate how “IPA” has become synonymous with “beer”). I like blue cheese, but I agree it can quickly overwhelm. I prefer to go easy with it in recipes. For salad dressings I prefer the ones that are toned down a bit.
I think you don’t have proper cheese available.
The comparison with IPAs is apt. For me an IPA is really only suitable when it balances the flavors of some other food. But, let’s be honest. People aren’t getting IPAs for the hops. They’re getting IPAs for the higher ABV. And, while I love blue cheese I never sit down and just eat it alone like I could disappear a block of aged cheddar. Blue cheese is always better when it balances the flavors of other foods like bacon, dates, cured meats, buffalo wings, cauliflower, salads, etc.
Truffle oil on the other hand might as well be snake oil. Truffle oil is never authentic, it’s just flavored oil. Just give me some damn mushrooms and if truffles aren’t available find another good mushroom and stop trying to make it an oil.
People get IPAs even when they’re normal strength
Facetious - adjective treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor; flippant.
That part of the comment was facetious.
Maybe. But it used to be more true, back when IPA meant strong and bitter, and other terms were used for the high flavour beers
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 am being called out
It’s do good though!
My sides lmao! Though I do like blue cheese
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?
Alcohol is made by fungi, as is bread, and mushrooms are literal fungi.
Right, forgot that yeast is considered fungi and not bacteria, my bad.
Blue cheese culture is literal fungi as well.
Blue cheese barely have any taste, get you game up
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.
I’m all for a diverse palet but it’s not necessary to shame someone who knows and can understand their preferences for not liking something just like they shouldn’t shame you for liking blue cheese.
Shaming and spreading misinformation is bad faith arguing in either side.
Lol what the fuck misinformation was stated in my reply?
Also my reply was clearly half joking. You need to stop taking every god damn thing on the Internet so seriously. This was literally a post about blue cheese on a fucking meme community. Go outside and touch grass. You need it.
Calm down.
Lol so is this how you operate? If someone has a response that you don’t particularly like, you wrongly accuse them of spreading misinformation and then tell them to calm down?
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
It is one of my favourite burgers
Ok real talk but cheese is made of milk and milk is made from mutated sweat glands. So we take mutant sweat and let it spoil, sift it, and press it before exposing it to mold.
I don’t know why the mold is where we draw the line if we’re drawing them. I’d be wondering why you’re constantly sticking your arm in a cow vagina to keep it pregnant or with a calf so you can harvest the nutrition sweat and let it spoil.
The one and only time I ate blue cheese it almost made me vomit in the middle of a cafeteria. Worst food I’ve ever tasted and it’s not even close.
Yeah, not liking blue cheese because it’s mold is just silly and mockable. Not liking it because it tastes bad to you is a legit opinion and no one should be shaming anyone for it.
My dad loves it. For me i get an initial hint of the flavour but then my taste buds/ brain get a rotten taste (like how week old garbage bins smell). As I eat it i’m on a roller coaster of mmm, and wretch. It must be some archaic survival thing where the mold triggers danger, because I love new tastes and gravitate to things like marmite and kambucha so fermented foods aren’t an issue
To all of you cheese lovers: this is your Penicillium roqueforti, blue cheese mold, in a microbiology lab. Bon appetit
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.
Yeah, moldy bread will do (though it can contain some more nasty stuff as well)
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.
I am totally licking it.
Stop. I can only get so hard.
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
Most of simple antibiotics are of fungal nature, yes
Using life against itself.
Hell yeah that looks delicious, throw that on a steak and lets eat.
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!
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.
Aren’t we all continuously eating our own spit?
You left all the interesting ones out of that, though.
If you jerk off in a hot enough shower the cum scrambles just like eggs.
I’m sorry for your tongue. May it rest in peace.
blue cheese has mold in it
you have shit in you.
Yea but I rarely eat it
I appreciate your honesty.
How did the surgury to remove your colon and both intestines go, Mr. Walter “Shitfree” Malone?
I once had a salad with what I thought was feta cheese on it, but it was actually blue cheese. The shock almost killed me. As did the awful taste of the blue cheese.
More for us, the ones who like blue cheese.
I’m looking at you, Buffalo.
I love it so much.
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”.
Yes, come to the mold cult, it’s worth it.
