Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I figure the one just sat around for longer, as I've had extra blue-y cheese develop in my own fridge. Just never seen such a striking difference at the store, which I found mildly interesting.

Don't buy it!!! I just grabbed (from grocery outlet) that wisconson mild blue you are holding as my s/o hates blue and I figured she could ease into it... it's disgusting!! It tastes like a mausoleum smells and turns to powder in your mouth, 0/10, do not recommend!!

As a blue cheese hater, thanks for this one

Ah geeze good to know. I've already got a couple kinds of blue so didn't buy this, but thanks for the warning.

I didn't like blue cheese and my mother tried to fase me into it a few times with mild blue cheeses. Didn't work. One day a guy gave me a cube of Stilton - Colston Basset, if I recall right - and my mind was blown. The taste was strong but so good that itvsomehow clicked. Blue cheese is something difficult. I find average blue cheese awful.

I'l grab a wedge, but I'm blaming you if she hates it! (thank you for the suggestion)

Stilton's are pretty strong. I'd suggest a Creamy Danish Blue for something a bit subtler and very delicious.

I've seen that at the grocer, will check it out, thank you!

Now try a cube of Stilton with a glass of vintage port. Heavenly combo.

That’s the best thing I’m going to read this week.
