What’s Blue, Blasts The Buds and Drips Between the Buns? A Classic Bluburg

Not sure who the first person was that stumbled across Blue Cheese but he was probably related to the same guy that opened the first oyster. Freaks!

I have always been interested in leveraging weird tastes and textures and Blue Cheese happens to have both.  Its unique flavor is disgusting and tells you that you shouldn't eat it.
