Offbeat: Breast milk referred to as both “cheese” and “liquid gold”

  • We realized we were going to have to throw a lot of it out, pour this liquid gold down the drain, and we were not going to do that. So, me being a chef, we said, ‘Hey, let’s make some cheese!’
  • Chef Daniel Angerer • Regarding his decision to turn his fiancee’s breast milk into cheese, because, hey, that’s creepy. The dish is popular with patrons at New York’s Klee Brasserie restaurant, but otherwise incredibly controversial. Experts on a whole suggest it’s a really bad idea to eat it, due to the fact that it can expose others to the mother’s health issues (HIV and hepatitis in particular). Angerer’s fiance, Lori Mason, however, is healthy, which is why they felt it was safe to serve it at a restaurant. source
