The cheese recipe book said blue cheese wasn't a beginner's cheese. I should have taken that advice. I've been making cheese for 4 years so I thought, maybe I'm not a beginner but an advanced beginner. The give-away that it wasn't a successful cheese was the smell. It smelled heavily of amonia. Moldy smell can sometimes be good but amonia is never good.
I scraped the orange mold off thinking that might get rid of the bad smell.
I cut it in half and smelled it.
COUGH!!!! COUGH!! If that wasn't enough to deter me.....I had to taste it. I'm still alive to tell about it but I can tell you it was not something I'd try 2 bites of. Ok, yes, I tasted it twice just in case. You never can be sure, you know. It was terrible.
Maybe it wasn't a complete fail. There was one someone who thought it was delicious.
Will I make it again? Maybe in 4 more years.

Bwahahaha! I'm very sorry that it didn't come out well, but wholeheartedly thank you for the laugh. :) As I started reading how it smelled bad, I thought, "she's sooo gonna taste it". And you didn't disappoint. :)

When I was going to Italy and asked a friend what I should bring her back she said, "the stinkiest goat cheese I could find". Maybe she would have liked it.

ReplyDeleteYou have one gourmet pig.
If I were a pig, that would be my dream-stinky blue cheese!
