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.
Pretty much anything containing some form bread, like pastries, pizza and well bread, is commonly made with yeast which is also a fungus just like mold.
Imagine thinking eating spoiled milk from a cow isn’t weird, but the mold part is. There are quite a few cases where mold is good. It’s not like blue cheese is the exception.
I had forgotten that the larvae jump. For some reason that makes it so, so much worse to me. If I were to eat an arthropod-originating cheese I would probably prefer to try mite cheese.
Mold is a fungus. Same group as mushrooms, yeast, etc. Some mushrooms are edible and delicious. So are some molds. The mold in blue cheese is not the same as the kind that makes food inedible.
Yet for some of us we can taste that it is a mold and it triggers a gag/gross out effect. My dad loves it. For me it is “hmm not bad” then “ugh that is rotten” and my tastebuds/brain vascillate between those experiences as I’m chewing it
