Apparently cheese gets you mildly high?

Cedar Valley cheese factory near me ships during the winter months.

They offer 14 variations on jack cheese there. Here’s a pic of one of them.

Years ago my sister and I were going through a picky stage, and dad told us to try new foods. So we tried his queso blanco. We loved it so much we ate it all up. He vowed never to introduce us to new food again.

Um … cue the Bat Signal … just let the bulb warm up a bit …

Paging my favorite cheesemaker … @JaneDoe42 is this doable?

Oh-oh, catch that buzz
Cheese is the drug I’m thinking of
Oh-oh, can’t you see?
Cheese is the drug for me

Ha! That reminds me of a bit of family lore: when I was a kid our grandparents lived part of the year in our house (big old Victorian), between summers in New Hampshire and winters in Florida. They took their meals with us – mom, dad, four kids.

One day Mom made porcupines (meatballs with rice in tomato sauce) as the protein dish for supper. Grampa took one suspicious look and wouldn’t have any. The rest of us tucked in. Finally he took a taste from Grandma’s plate, liked it, and decided he wanted some after all – but too late! We’d eaten them all up.

That is so crazy, it just might work.

A nicotine patch will do that. It’s kind of amazing. They should market the patches for that purpose, imo.
(Not before bed, though. Wear the patch as you sleep.)

So what you’re saying is that, to achieve the full pharmacological effect, the cheese needs to be injected directly into a vein :thinking:

That would have to be very runny brie.

(Cue John Cleese.)

Oh, the cat’s mainlined it!

(From the Dilbert bad advice column:)

“And those are just some of the benefits of an all-cheese diet.”

(Doesn’t anything that gives you pleasure make you “mildly high”?)

Jesus titty-fucking Christ, yes. The dreams I have when I have forgotten to take off a nicotine patch before sleep make Jordorowsky films seem like industrial training films.

That taught him.

For New Year’s Eve I picked up some special cheese, including an Irish cheddar suffused with whiskey. If any cheese was going to give me a buzz, I would have thought this one would. It didn’t. Neither did the Irish Porter-suffused cheddar I tried earlier.

Well, I find blues to give a bit of a “buzz,” although I suspect it is due to the sharper awakening of the senses. Roquefort, Bleu d’Auvergne, Gorgonzola piccante, some domestic blues as well are okay.

Also, some people don’t seem to care much for these stronger blues, so more for me.

Perhaps I’m like a junkie in search of the stronger high. Never casu martzu, though. Not that hardcore!

Y’all are a bunch of ched-heads.

I know cheese is addictive. I can’t leave sharp cheddar alone. Crackers and cheese is my weakness. Grilled cheese slices too.

I rarely buy it anymore. A block of Kraft will be gone in a few days.

You bet! And here’s our anthem.

Maybe, or for something closer to home:
