You will be surprised how much cheese (any cheese)
has bacteria anyway - put it under a UV light.........
Bacteria or no bacteria, I know I don't want to be eating copper wire cheese.

This thread got me craving blue cheese so when I was at the market yesterday I just had to splurge and make myself a salad from the salad bar..complete with blue cheese crumbles. I've actually never had the actual cheese on my salads, only the dressing. It was delicious!! I put ranch dressing on it so it wasn't overpowering. Now, I want another one!!

I love the aged cheeses and the strong ones like Blue Cheese.

Though I've always wondered, what possessed the first people to eat soured and fermented dairy products like yogurt or the moldy coagulated products like cheeses?

I'm now officially addicted to Blue Cheese!!


I buy it a couple times per month, and I even buy the salad dressing too!

For some reason this cheese doesn't affect me adversely (I'm lactose intolerant), maybe because it's an aged cheese.

All I know is that I can't get enough of this stuff!!


Who knew that one day I'd say that I like eating mould!

Once you get over the idea of eating mould, it isn't too bad. I can't say it's going to be a regular thing in my fridge, but at least now I'm not adverse to eating it if it's on a cheese tray or in a recipe like I was before.
What, you don't like bleu cheese dressing?

OK, it does have a taste that takes some learning. But then, so do most good wines.

Same here! There are very few flavors that make my mouth water like blue cheese... now that I've read this thread I might have to find something to eat some dressing with

I LOVE bleu cheese
I dip bread, celery, carrots, pizza, breadsticks, wings, etc in it.
My parents used to order a side of bleu cheese dressing when we'd go to this restaurant, just to dip the crusty italian bread in it.

Rob is severely disturbed by my love of bleu cheese dressing and as a topping or mixed crumbles in a dip.

Blue cheese, mold, delicious!

On the mold note, I seriously adore mushrooms, all edible types I will eat, raw, cooked, stuffed, sautÃ[emoji]169[/emoji]ed, and steamed. We always have portabellas and normal white mushrooms in the fridge and on special occasions or big sales we will get crimini and oyster, shitake, and others. There is a mushroom festival every year we have to drive quite a ways to get there, but we love it and get such good deals we stock up.
I bet there are cheese festivals too!

I can't eat blue cheese straight up, yuck! To me it tastes like vomit all on it's own, far to sharp, I am a fan of mild chese.
I do however like it with some things. As mentioned in another post, wings, for me they must be dripping in the red hot and equally dripping in blue cheese dressing, the stinker and sharper and chunkier the better. Messy and smelly, it's all good! The flavor just goes togethor!
Waldorf salad, does anyone make that anymore? Chicken, walnuts, grapes, apples, celelry all mixed with mayo? Top that off with some blue cheese crumbles, it works so well to counter all that sweetness from the fruit. it's an awsome summer salad!
