DH grew up in a country where there is a lot of goat farming and can’t eat it. He loves goat meat though. I love goat cheese but can’t stand goat meat. Different strokes.

Goat cheese with pepper jam inside of a roasted poblano.

Anonymous wrote:I don't get it. All goat cheeses taste like trash. Goat cheese is probably the worst food product on the planet. I'd rather eat durian, balut or even surstromming than goat cheese. Goat cheese is instant gag inducing. How can anyone put goat cheese in their mouth and sit there and claim that it is entirely enjoyable with a straight face?

OP-you are my people. The stuff is god awful.

Fried goat cheese balls with some arugula and balsamic. It gives me life.

If you’re going to hate on something, hate on truckers with no clear objectives blocking roadways, not goat cheese. Goat cheese doesn’t cause unnecessary traffic.

Oh man. This takes me back to the 90s, when I used goat cheese in salads all the time, either marinated in balsamic, olive oil and and garlic dressing or coated with bread crumbs and fried. I had a cookbook called “Cooking with Caprial” that had some excellent recipes with goat cheese. You’ve inspired me to go dig it up—thank you!

Thank you!
I love cilantro but I totally recognize the soapy taste. I just like it.
I can't stand goat cheese because it does smell and taste like a barn. But you like that. But at least you know that. Do other people have this level of discernment in taste?

It doesn’t taste like that to me. It tastes gamey and funky but not like a barn.

Have you tried blueberry vanilla goat cheese? I am not a big fan of straight goat cheese but man this stuff is amazing

What a lame thread. Everyone has likes and dislikes. Are you really that immature that you can’t figure that out, OP?

Is it worse than hakarl, though? That truly is the worst food on the planet.

It's very soft and yummy and I love the strong smell. My palate is all skewed from years of emotional eating though, so maybe there's a reason why I prefer pungent, strong, acidic foods. I also really enjoy sour and spicy. I know it's an emotional eating thing.

I felt that way about goat cheese, feta, brie, eggs, avocado and cilantro. I love them all now. They just suddenly seemed interesting/grew on me.

Wish this would happen with wine and beer- both taste disgusting- instantly vomit-inducing and I cannot believe people drink that rot and act normal. But if I could do it too, I'd be 'normal' at parties. Also wish I could do tomatoes and cantaloupe. So good for you- but so disgusting.

NP here. I've never had durian but from what I understand it tastes amazing. It's the smell that's nasty.

PP. I can tell you first hand it does NOT taste amazing. It does smell nasty (like raw sewage) and as soon as I put it in my mouth and tried to swallow it, I vomited in the sink and I have a pretty strong constitution. At least I can cross it off my bucket list. OTOH before you crack it open it kinda smells like a pineapple. I was like.....how bad can this be? After we disposed of it and took it out to the trash, a few HOURS later my oldest son comes down from upstairs and said "did the dog poop in the house?"
