Cheese Nips Anyone?

Straight Guy,

Hope you are enjoying your vacation. It's boring here without you.

So boring, in fact, that I've been on a cleaning frenzy. First my office at work, then attacking some stacks of paper at home. I've moved to cleaning out my e-mail in-box and bookmarks, where I found some news gems that I had squirreled away as blog fodder. A few of them are old but still good, including this one.

There's a restaurant chef making cheese out of his wife's breast milk. Yep, it's true. Read about it. He didn't want to waste his wife's excess breast milk. My mommy friends have mentioned "pump and dump" but never "pump and curdle."

Here's the definition of cheese: "Cheese is the curdled milk of sheep, goats, cows or other mammals." Are women mammals? Check.

Given the definition, why wouldn't we make breast milk cheese? It's perfectly natural, as in made in/by nature. What is cow's milk but breast milk from a cow? The cow's breast is quite a bit larger than that of the girl next door, but it's the same idea. My dad grew up on a dairy farm, but I'll pass on reaching out to him to get his dairy husbandry expertise.

Would I eat human breast milk cheese? I'm not sure. And I'm not sure why I'm not sure. I guess I would. Once.

SG, would you eat it? Slap it between two burger patties and top it with bacon? Or, no whey?

Readers: How would you answer my "Got Cheese?" quandary?

I'm mostly interested in how well this sold in the restaurant, which is located in NY's Chelsea neighborhood -- probably the gayest neighborhood in the U.S. Not a lot of recent experience with breasts and nipples in that 'hood.

That sounds pretty gross... I feel like if human breast milk made good cheese, they'd already have been doing it...

The idea is repulsive. As is drinking breast milk. Then again, I guess the target demo for such consumption is much younger than I am...

Not entirely sure if I would eat it either GG...If you look at it from the fact that it is the same as milk from cows (in a sense), but then there's the other part of me that's slightly disturbed by the idea.

Question; His wife was okay with that???

Gut reaction: eewww. And I totally agree with GG - I'm not sure why I have that reaction. Mammaries are mammaries, so what's the difference? I don't know.

Do you remember when PeTA petitioned for Ben & Jerry's to make their ice cream from breast milk? Double D-lightful?

As our second is now on the tap, I can honestly say that the idea of others (beyond those with permission or blood line) consuming your bodily fluid is gross.

It's also super sweet compared to cows milk, probably packs a funky twang, no?

Straight Guy said...

OK. Now that someone has dropped the phrase "bodily fluid" I'm out, too.

I've bottle fed my share of babies with the real stuff and was naver grossed out but will now think twice before I order nachos in Chelsea.

Gay Guy said...

So, is the cheese erotically charged for a straight man? Or anti-erotic. Just icky?

BosGuy said...

OMG - apparently there is a cheese I wouldn't eat.

kathryn said...

I'm sorry. There is no-one...male or female...straight or gay...that thinks this is yummy.

I don't know one straight guy who ever voluntarily drank his lactating wife's milk.

Notice I said voluntarily...

Kathryn,

Please explain how a straight man would have involuntarily drunk/drank/consumed his wife's milk (I assume this applied to girlfriends, etc.).
