Breast Milk Cheese: No Thank You

From tasty recipes to images of great restaurant meals, the act of salivating over images of cravable edibles known as “food porn” has become a worldwide phenomenon.

Sarah Gim runs a mesmerizing website called Tastespotting that features gorgeous images of food with insight into the inspiration behind the dish and links to the recipes. Yesterday, I found a link to a Mommy Milk Cheese recipe on Gim’s twitter feed (@the delicious) — which she prefaced with, “breast milk cheese. too far? wait, what am i saying? YES TOO FAR. geez.” — which then led me to an elaborate story Chef Daniel Angerer’s blog with images of bagged breast milk and how make cheese with it.

Don’t get me wrong, I think breast-feeding is a beautiful thing. If baby gets more natural nutrients from a mom who can breast-feed, I am all for it. When dad decides to use some pumped breast milk to make cheese, well that’s a different story. Who is eating this cheese? If it is for his own snack, well then maybe that’s just a resourceful way of using up some of of the stored breast milk. But please don’t serve it to me at a cocktail party. I am a fairly adventuresome eater, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
