EdibleFriend,

When it comes down to it lots of people eat things just because they like them not because it’s beneficial. Obviously that can lead to unhealthy eating but in moderation there’s nothing wrong with it.

" Believed to have originated in a cave in Roquefort, France, blue cheese is available in a handful of varieties including gorgonzola, stilton, and cambozola. The blue veins characteristic of blue cheese develop from the bacteria Penicillium Roqueforti that grow within small punctures created on top of the cheese loaves at the beginning of the cheese ripening process.

Though blue cheese is typically high in sodium, it is rich in dairy protein, dietary fats, and essential vitamins and minerals including calcium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, and vitamin A. What makes each variety different is the type of milk used, the length of ripening, and the result texture and flavor."

Eggs are technically chicken’s periods when you think about it.

Kase,

Wait really? That’s so interesting. So eggs you buy at the store aren’t fertilized? (Not sure if that’s the right word but ykwim)

cor315,

Correct. You can get fertilized ones too. Look up balut. Or don’t.

SnipingNinja,

That don’t is a weak recommendation to not look it up, depending on the person it can be terrible to look at

tigeruppercut,

Some countries sell packs of chicken offal, and you can see what the eggs look like before they get far enough along in the bird to have a shell

https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/794850a5-d7d8-40c5-82d0-c1bd15d3113c.webp

EpeeGnome,

Typical mass market eggs are unfertilized, but eggs from smaller scale or hobby farms are usually fertilized. On a small scale, it’s easier to keep the hens safe from wildlife with a rooster around, but on a large scale they’re just a waste of feed. If you’re curious, fertilized eggs have a tiny red dot in the egg white.

Teotwawki,

The hens are more relaxed with a rooster around, too, so they are good to have if you care about animal welfare. Just wish people stopped buying them in residential areas.

Bees store the nectar in a honey stomach, where no digestions happen at all. So it’s not bug vomit.

Lemjukes,

“Vomit” doesn’t require digestion to be called vomit. If it was in a stomach and then came back out via a mouth, it’s vomit.

Kase,

So you’re calling a newborn baby vomit? (/s)

They’re also bees, which are notably distinct from humans in ways almost too numerous to count.

AmberPrince,

Can I please have another bee fact?

Kase,

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.

psud,

That was bumble bees specifically, and we do know how they fly

pomodoro_longbreak,
@pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works avatar

bees sometimes fly, like flies, but not exactly like flies; though they do fly. Bees do. Well, flies also fly, but differently. Not that differently if you don’t care about such distinctions, but pretty differently if you do. I wish I could fly. That last one wasn’t a bee fact. It was a me fact.

I mean Yeast isn’t generally considered mold.

Smoogs,

Fermentation is still resulting in live organisms. Which essentially is what makes up a lot of food we eat. It doesn’t come out of a machine as only one atomic building block. And it is absolutely necessary in our nutrition to have this biodiversity even on a micro level to keep our body functioning.

Though it doesn’t mean you go lick the black mold in your shower. Just get some basic education of nutrition to the point you’re not so absolutely this negligently dumb about food as the OP.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Fermentation is still resulting in live organisms

Unless you’re drinking unfiltered beers, you shouldn’t actually have any live yeast left in your beer. And if there are prepare t6o be gassy as fuck for the rest of the day.

Which essentially is what makes up a lot of food we eat.

Well everything we eat was once living, or a product of something living. It’s not why people don’t like eating mold.

Mold still tastes nasty as fuck, blue cheese included, even if that particular mold is safe to eat.

M137, (edited )

It tastes nasty to you. That’s not something objective thing. You can dislike it all you want, but that doesn’t mean other people think the same.

And you can’t just say “all mold tastes nasty”, different kinds used in different ways have as wide of a spectrum of tastes as anything else. Common things that use mold: soy sauce, miso, tempeh, sake, cured meats, and many different kinds of cheeses (not just blue cheese) and more.

Smoogs,

I’m not forcing you to eat it but preference alone isn’t enough reason to be spreading misinformation and just being stupid. Just say you don’t like it. Stay away from educating anyone on it being anything more than your preference though.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

What misinformation? That yeast isn’t mold? That’s not misinformation.

IDontHavePantsOn,

Or every other cheese, or yogurt, sour cream, etc…

It’s like everyone puts on their blinders. Every time you hear cultured, fermented, or the big ol’ stupid blanket term “probiotic”, it means bacteria, mold, or yeast. Every time you hear “active”, that means it’s live organisms.

We all love to eat bacteria, mold and yeast. It all depends on the type.

crystal,

I recognize there’s mold in the air I breathe and everything I eat, including apples.

I will eat an apple with invisible mold, I won’t eat an apple with visible mold.

Same goes for beer, yogurt, and cheese.

IDontHavePantsOn,

Blue on white?! Disgusting! White on white? Yum!

You do you though. More cheese for me.

tryptaminev,

i mean there is no toxic yeast strains afaik, whereas the non toxic molds are only few specialized strains.

aiden,

Yeast is an opportunistic pathogen that will secrete toxins. The reason that you don’t get sick when eating bread and stuff is because the yeast dies when you cook it, preventing infection. Although, I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine if you ate live yeast, because your stomach would kill them, also preventing an infection.

marx2k,

Blue cheese is fucking delicious. Fick off

ours,

Some nice penne with gorgonzola sauce and some nuts thrown in there is sooooo goood.

DNOS,

There’s two options here 1 I have met a fellow Italian 2 you are a master chef (I don’t believe anybody else outside Italy could match the right pasta with the right sauce )

ours,

Consider me an honorary Italian: I love the food/drinks/clothing, I have many Italian friends and my partner is half-Italian.

If anything, I’m even more fussy with the sauce/pasta combinations than my partner (wine/food pairings as well).

DNOS,

Oooh now i understand yeah …an Italian fanatic… that would be my third option next time 🤔 yokes aside I’m honored to be Italian some time thanks man

orrk,

what, you don’t eat spaghetti with every meal? there is a culture, and sometimes even a practical reason, for certain culinary traditions? Lasagna is a meat dish instead of a pasta dish?

DNOS,

Nice so … let this be constructive for both ends … Yeah we eat pasta really often like really often most of us at least once a day if not twice but we make it like 200 times more healthy than (as I heard) u probably did for instance we don’t use ketchup on the pasta we use tomato sauce and there’s so much difference it scientifically proved one Italian out of two will have a stroke discovering how you do it … 😉 We usually eat around 80grams (yeah yeah go have fun doing the conversion ) of pasta plus some meat and veggies… And that’s brings me straight to the point how the heck can u fill a dinner without some kind of pasta … What did u eat? Meat and meat ? 🤷 About your second question I will skip it u probably don’t really care and I will talk for like ages about stuff I somehow know because it’s instinctive that objectively aren’t so obvious… Aaaaand no lasagna would probably still be considered a pasta disch yes it has some meet but it doesn’t metter … Spaghetti con le polpettine (meatball spaghetti) also have meat but they remain pasta plus somewhere in remote regions of Italy we call the lasagna pasta al forno witch means oven baked pasta

Threeme2189,

And that’s brings me straight to the point how the heck can u fill a dinner without some kind of pasta … What did u eat?

  • Rice
  • Potatoes
  • Bread

There are so many carbs that are not pasta…

orrk,

you falsely assume I am America, also while pasta al forno is close to Lasagna, it’s not really the same thing (who would have thunk that different regions of Italy have different food cultures)

DNOS,

My bad I shoot for the highest probably optionand I missed … Yeah we gave the pasta al forno name to the lasagna and call that dish you probably refer as pasta pasticciata…

FeelzGoodMan420,

Blue cheese is one of the most tasty cheeses. You can say I’m eating mold as many times as you want. I do not give a flying fuck. Shit is absolute S tier cheese.

Also some antibiotics are made from mold. People need to wake the fuck up and realize that blue cheese is god damn delicious.

Asafum,

Sauteed mushrooms and onions on a blackened burger with blue cheese on it is absolutely amazing and no one should deprive themselves of that lol

Smoogs,

It is one of my favourite burgers

Chriswild,

Ok real talk but cheese is made of milk and milk is made from mutated sweat glands. So we take mutant sweat and let it spoil, sift it, and press it before exposing it to mold.

I don’t know why the mold is where we draw the line if we’re drawing them. I’d be wondering why you’re constantly sticking your arm in a cow vagina to keep it pregnant or with a calf so you can harvest the nutrition sweat and let it spoil.

Zess,

The one and only time I ate blue cheese it almost made me vomit in the middle of a cafeteria. Worst food I’ve ever tasted and it’s not even close.

EpeeGnome,

Yeah, not liking blue cheese because it’s mold is just silly and mockable. Not liking it because it tastes bad to you is a legit opinion and no one should be shaming anyone for it.

Smoogs,

I’m all for a diverse palet but it’s not necessary to shame someone who knows and can understand their preferences for not liking something just like they shouldn’t shame you for liking blue cheese.

Shaming and spreading misinformation is bad faith arguing in either side.

FeelzGoodMan420, (edited )

Lol what the fuck misinformation was stated in my reply?

Also my reply was clearly half joking. You need to stop taking every god damn thing on the Internet so seriously. This was literally a post about blue cheese on a fucking meme community. Go outside and touch grass. You need it.

Smoogs,

Calm down.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Lol so is this how you operate? If someone has a response that you don’t particularly like, you wrongly accuse them of spreading misinformation and then tell them to calm down?

BCsven,

My dad loves it. For me i get an initial hint of the flavour but then my taste buds/ brain get a rotten taste (like how week old garbage bins smell). As I eat it i’m on a roller coaster of mmm, and wretch. It must be some archaic survival thing where the mold triggers danger, because I love new tastes and gravitate to things like marmite and kambucha so fermented foods aren’t an issue

SexyTimeSasquatch,

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.

BCsven,

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

gamermanh,

I’m the only member of my family that dislikes it

Smells great

Tastes worse than almost anything I’ve put in my mouth. Like, doesn’t even have a flavor per se, just tastes of “get that out of my mouth”

Cheese doesn't sound that great when you think of it as milk that's been left in a cave for a year and infested with bacteria

peto,

Aged like milk has a lot less impact if you are good at it.

IrateAnteater,

“Aged like milk” can mean anything from “so awful it’s literally illegal” to “so good people will pay unreasonable amounts of money”.

Sagifurius,

That’s not what cheese is, generally. Blue cheese is that though. Cheese is converted into a solid form in the kitchen the first day, then aged.

squiblet,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

How is that not what cheese is? As far as I understand, every cheese uses a bacterial culture, mesophilic or thermophilic. Blue cheese is different because it also has a fungal culture. But sure, usually it's put in on purpose when the cheese is made, not something that comes from the environment.

Sagifurius,

Traditionally is done by heating, separating and the introduction of rennet, which is an enzyme from calf guts that converts milk into a solid form that a herbivore can digest. This relates to why cows milk kills human infants and kittens but they can survive on goats. Cheese basically dates from ancient times when everyone was lactose intolerant but some farmer noticed how calves digest milk.

squiblet,
@squiblet@kbin.social avatar

I have made some simple cheeses before and learned about rennet so i can feed vegetarians. Then what is this page about? It seems every common type of cheese has a bacterial culture.

XbSuper,

Bacon, that burger needs bacon.

blanketswithsmallpox,

So you’re telling me for it to be edible it has to be on something that’s completely delicious on its own…

Also that’s still a hard pass. Even on the burger which is more of the same lol.

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Nope. What I said was it’s especially delicious with hot wings.

I can’t speak for everyone, but it’s been my experience that people don’t tend to just hunker down and eat a block of cheese by itself. Most cheeses are meant to go with something else, unless you’re Charlie Kelly getting ready for a big date.

blanketswithsmallpox,

I mean… tell that to every person who eats a pinch full of cheese any time they open a shredded bag…

Or fuck some up on a snack board. (I suppose that’s loosely with something else.)

But good cheese is definitely able to just be sliced and ate on the spot. Just make sure it’s off the block and BAM.

Blue cheese though? I’ll leave the stank foot blue waffle cheese to y’all.

ChronosWing,

Nope, it’s perfectly delicious all by itself.
