The next time you're dining at Klee Brassiere in New York City, you might want to think twice about ordering anything with cheese. Unless, that is, you don't have a problem with breast milk cheese.
Klee Brassiere's chef Daniel Angerer is crafting cheese out of his wife's breast milk. And while that might be appetizing to some (and if so, who are you?), this writer is trying to gracefully hold back a gag.
As Inhabitots puts it, Angerer's breast milk cheese "could possibly be one of the year’s biggest D.I. Why? moments."
