Blue cheese is milk that has gone bad twice
(sh.itjust.works)
Ah, Roquefort... So salty and good...
You really Bleu it with that title.
It's only Bleu if it comes from ~~the Bleu region of~~ France. Otherwise it's just sparkly snobbery.
And they say two wrongs don't make a right. Well if loving blue cheese is wrong, I don't even want to be right.
Amen.
Well two wrongs clearly make a right when it comes to chicken wing dips
Amen.
Oddly enough, I found that one of the ingredients in cheese puffs, aside from another cheese or two, is blue cheese.
Go ahead, read the ingredients, that surprised me as well. I've never had blue cheese directly, but it can't be that bad, right? 🤔
I wouldn't know, as I've never tried cheese puffs (I've eaten more blue cheese than most, tho), but I'm surprised it contains any actual cheese, tbh.
I’ve eaten more blue cheese than most, tho
Bleu cheeses are the best. I get some gorgonzola from my local cheese mongers that is to die for. On salads I don't think there is any better cheese.
I mostly work from home, so I often have a wedge of my favorite blue one. Often with a little bit of apricot marmalade. Not sure how well it is known outside of Norway, tho.
Doesn't the penicillin grow at the same time as the milk solidifies?
I think modern production injects it just before it has completed curing, which is why you get those lines inside.
and it’s sad

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
