New York chef makes breastmilk cheese…. yuck

My wife read this article to me and it did gross me out. yuck!

Just when you think you’ve heard everything – especially everything from the New York Post, comes this. “Wife’s baby milk in chef’s cheese recipe,” is the headline. Chef Daniel Angerer of Klee Brasserie in Manhattan apparently was giving away cheese made from his wife’s leftover breast milk as a canape with figs and Hungarian pepper. Seems he had blogged about making the cheese with the extra milk and people began requesting samples.

Now, that doesn’t surprise me. What does surprise me is Angerer’s offering a wine pairing suggestion for the cheese. His choice? A riesling.

A shout-out to my old friend Dr. Vino for pointing out the story on his wine Web site.

Dr. Vino, aka Tyler Colman, caps his piece with these words: “What do you think? Impossible?!?” Not sure if he’s reacting to the wine recommendation or the whole mama cheese concept.

As for Klee Brasserie, the restaurant’s Web site is promoting a new spring cheese menu featuring cheese’s from around the world — made from cow’s and goat’s milk.
