A New York gallery on Sunday offered adventurous eaters the opportunity to sample cheese made from human breast milk, getting mixed reviews and some puzzled looks.
The Lady Cheese Shop is a temporary art installation by Miriam Simun, a graduate student at New York University who hopes to use the craft of cheese-making to raise questions about the ethics of modern biotechnologies.
"Cheese is the conversation starter," Simun said. "Some people are loving it, and some people are gagging."
Simun found three nursing women willing to have their milk turned into cheese. She screened the milk for diseases, pasteurized it and learned the basics of cheese-making.
Three varieties were available on Sunday -- West Side Funk, Midtown Smoke, described as "creamy and just pure heaven," and Wisconsin Chew, the taste of which apparently reflected the vegetable-filled diet of the woman who provided its milk.

Yes it does!
An apparent corollary to, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?” - Prince William being an apparent exception.
NYC dwellers live in a state of insanity, every last damned one of them! They should be fenced off and quarantined!
I wonder why they say “human breast milk.” We don’t say “cows’ udder milk.” Does someone imagine that human females produce milk from their knees or biceps, and therefore need clarification ... or are they just 12-year-olds who get a kick out of seeing “breast” in print?
Will this cheese be sold at “Hooters?”

A wretched idea as in “retch”
