what, you mean that a block of cheese isn't a meal???
It's not as good as smoked cheddar with summer sausage. A specialty of our local meat market.
Milbenkäse cheese
Why not enjoy some food that has been flavored with mite excrement? That’s what you’ll get with Milbenkäse, which is fermented by cheese mites. Even the start of the Milbenkäse making process sounds bad – it’s make from quark, which is essentially warmed up milk that has already gone sour. Not the sour cream kind of sour, mind you, but the “my toddler left a sippy cup full of milk under my bed for three days” kind of sour.
It is made exclusively in Germany in the village of Würchwitz and at one point, four decades ago, only one person actually knew how to put the mites into the cheese in such a way that they would ferment it by eating it and pooping it out. To help you get around that “poopy” flavor component, caraway, salt, and rye are added to the quark during the making process. If there are still mites in the cheese, don’t worry – it’s traditional to eat them too!

I'm not going to look it up. I'm not going to look it up. I'm not going to look it up.
Damn it. I looked it up.
people are weird man....
I mean not knowingly but I'm sure ya know mites get into everything....but ugggg like they leave the mites on the rind and eat it
on purpose 
what is with peoples fascination with eating bugs
I mean I love chocolate too but I ain't eating no chocolate dipped or covered bugs
like how are bugs a delicacy????
I think I have become lactose intolerant after reading these posts.
Casu Marzu
It is made from sheep’s milk and it goes beyond the fermentation stage to the decomposition stage when it is consumed. It gets to this decomposition stage thanks to the purposeful introduction of insect larvae, namely the cheese fly.
The larvae eat the cheese, break down the fats of the dairy product, and this increases the overall fermentation of the cheese. The cheese is eaten when the maggots from the introduced insect eggs are actively crawling.
The flavor of the cheese is extremely sharp and can linger in your mouth for several hours. Don’t worry though – it is generally considered unsafe to eat the cheese if the maggots have died.
Would this be more interesting to Ya' . . .
On a less gross note.... my gt minis came while we were oot. @FranC , I see what you mean now. Not mini in height, only in diameter. It’s exactly the same height as the regular gt. I actually like the look with the “cage” better. Maybe that will protect the glass a bit.
@Redbird11 ... I have the FE green tea. I used it, and didn’t pif/toss it so I guess it worked. I haven’t dug through my notes to see what I thought though

All this talk of cheese got me hungry. I just ate a couple slices of provolone. Dog and Cat wanted some so it must be safe for me.
I am interested to know what you thought.

My note taking is notoriously lax. Plus it was back when I first started mixing. It’s entirely possible the notes were on the label of the bottle
. At least I broke THAT habit
Give me two... One of the best things I have ever eaten is the eyes of a 600lb tuna.
As long as it ain't a dog, cat, or horse I'll eat it.
Hannibal Lector would love it. Who knows, maybe I would too. It's a Galvin brothers signature dish. They've earned Michelin stars. Must make some good food.
Caramelised calf brains, capers and beurre noisette
While some may feel a little squeamish at the prospect of trying brains, they are incredibly nutritious and eaten all over the world. Served here with a creamy potato purée, the Galvin brothers' view this calf brain recipe as one of the mainstay signature dishes at their popular Bistrot de Luxe restaurant.
Calf brains are like butter and just melt in your mouth..
I have to admit, certain bugs are a no go for me. Spiders though, taste like crab. If you met me in person you would never guess the incredible amount of food I can put away. My daughter is the same...
When her and I go into a restaurant it's on. We'll usually order 4 different meals and share them. I always tell everyone at the table if you don't finish that don't throw it out. I'll take care of it.
I'm a 200 pound guy, but very slender. Here's a pic of my daughter and I doing some serious damage.. Look at her face, she means business.
I love the look of the mini.
Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?
