I am open minded as anyone when it comes to new and creative ways to cook. However this guy might have taken it too far. Daniel Angerer, of Klee Restaurant in NYC was stuck with the unique problem of having an excess of breast milk from his fiance. He decided to experiment with it and try and make cheese. While I can see the originality in his idea, I can't see the usefulness of this endeavor. Firstly it's creepy. Even the fact that he says that he is not grossed out by cooking with it, because he looks at it technically...is CREEPY. Secondly, I don't even want to start thinking about what kind of market is out there for people interested in purchasing breast milk cheese. Thirdly, how would he plan on the continued production of this cheese? His finance won't be producing milk forever. Would he have to purchase it from other lactating women? Despite assurances that he won't be serving his creation at Klee, and the NYC Health Department's statement that breast milk is not for human consumption, you can bet that his restaurant is not my list to visit in the near future.
