Exotic Cheese Club

Why stop at cows and goats?

We've all heard of those specialty shops and "of-the-month" clubs that provide the discerning and adventurous consumer with meats beyond what you'd normally find in a local grocer. Kangaroo? Rattlesnake? We got 'em all.

But why stop there?

I propose a cheese-of-the-month club and catalog (an actual store would probably not be feasible for the small demand I anticipate) that specializes in cheeses made from the milk of exotic mammals. Think of it: March could come in like a sharp lion cheddar, and in January you could remind yourself that the ocean is even colder than where you are now with a nice killer whale gruyere.

Milk would be harvested in cooperation with local zoos and water parks, many of which already supplement their babies' natural nursing with a fortified formula.

       I'd try it. Only problem is who's going to milk the lion? A better man than I, I say! Buy that man a drink, for he has no arms to reach for his wallet anymore!

       "Venezuelan Beaver Cheese, perchance?"

       there are enough exotic cheeses just visit a real cheese shop, besides sheep milk cheese exists.
engineer1, Jun 11 2004
  

       Ha! Depends where you are Tabs. I think that the Inuits would be most surprised to see a flock of sheep wandering across the ice and there probably aren't too many of them in the Amazon rainforests either.

       True sheep aren't exotic, i go for dog's milk cheese should last for ever...

       //Even human cheese?//   

       I don't know how strange this could be for most people. It is for me! Here in México pig cheese and goat cheese are very common. I don't know if I'd dare to try whale cheese... or dog cheese! Ew! Still, I'm sure other people would. Great idea! A good croissant with melted cheese for you.

       excellent suggestion [angel], first cheese that came into my head too.

       I did once find a link for human cheese, but I can't seem to relocate it.
DrCurry, Jun 11 2004
  

       I went to this one place but they were all cleaned out of cheese before I got there. It ticked me off. +

       The only human cheese that I heard of was from males...

       //a nice killer whale gruyere//? Only if you know how to milk a whale.

       Mmmm kangaroo cheese. Puts a spring in your step.
Marsupials make milk right?
  

       Mmmm, link.

       *er.... I think many would prefer lionESS cheese... but that's just an assumption on my part.
