Apr 9 2008Questionable: Cheese From Women's Milk
Well ever since yesterday when the ick-factor was ramped up with (fake) baby chocolates and disgusting health drinks, the grody tips have been pouring in and making me even sicker. This is one of the lesser ones -- women's breast milk cheese from France. Allegedly Le Petit Singly is a farm that specializes in the stuff.
Le Petit Singly is a farm that specializes in making cheese from women's breast milk. Are you imagining the milking process? Admittedly, that imagery makes me come to the conclusion that it's an absolutely bizarre and crazy world of cheesemaking in little ole Singly, France. But, no. I think the "donors" bring their milk to the farm, or something like that.
The cheese is produced exactly like it would be for cow's milk and apparently tastes like it has hints of hazelnut. I still have my doubts about its existence, though. The farm says the cheese is rich in vitamins and nutrients but I don't think these survive after being ultra-pasteurized. Also, they have an "AB" label, which is the official label for organic products. Does that mean that the women all grazed on organic?
Hoax potential aside, I'd eat the hell out of some breast milk cheese. I bet it's delicious, and I love hints of hazelnut. It's like when my wife was pregnant with our daughter and I tried to get a little suckle on the proverbial teat. I barely got a taste before she kicked me in the privates and told me I was "stealing from the baby". I told her that that was bull, the baby was stealing from me. And she continues to -- 1 down, 17 to go.

Just when I thought nothing could surprise me, I find myself humbled. That's kind of awesome in a really awful sort of way!

"My wife, she make this cheese. She make it from a milk from her tit."

I would like to actually see proof of the process as human breast milk cannot be made into cheese.
You see human breast milk does not "curdle" and therefore cannot be made into cheese unless they are going through some very extensive enzyme and bacteria process to make it do so.
So until I see proof, I'm calling fake.

Human Breast Milk can NOT be made into cheese. The milk cannot curdle due to the low levels of protein in human milk.
this is a HOAX.

N.O. That's on my "don't want" list like, x 1000000. Oh, and the "tastes like hazlenuts" bullshit: "tastes like hazlenuts" = tastes like some strange pregnant womans swollen, wonky nipple. F***ing FAIL dude.

Why are some people so grossed out? We all drank it in the past. I think I just might try it again when my future wife is breast feeding.

It's pretty funny that some people find the idea of cheese made from human milk (which we are designed to drink) disgusting, but from cow's milk, thats perfectly fine.
Unforunately, I call hoax.
