A goofball friend mine just texted me: “I tried a salad with feta cheese on it today. Bleh! It tasted like come! How do y’all eat that stuff?” I’m assuming this is the first time she’s ever tried feta cheese. And I’m also hoping she wasn’t rude to the waiter. But anyway, there’s no semblance, right? My friend is just a goofball? (Not that I’m going to stop eating feta cheese.) ---

She might be a goofball, but if she recognizes the taste you might consider her as a prom date. ---

If it does, her boyfriend should see a doctor. ---

If you toss it more than twice you’re playing with it. ---

there probably can be some similar flavor elements, especially after taste. i had some cheese once that smelled like baby shit. i’m not sure about the taste of baby shit. ---

Come is salty and feta cheese is salty but I don’t think they share any more flavors than that. ---

It wasn’t feta, it was fromunda. ---

Perhaps the ewes who gave the milk to make the cheese were fed on [Callery pears](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrus_calleryana)… ---

I’ll bet her boyfriend isn’t circumcised. And the answer to the OP is “No.” ---

Supposedly it depends on the diet of the ejaculator. But come isn’t normally overwhelmingly salty the way feta cheese is. It’s proteinaceous in taste, like meat broth, and slimy in texture, like okra goo. ---

(Sigh) No, at least not from my experience with either items in the OP. If come did taste like feta cheese I would have a new profession 😃 I loves me some feta cheese! ---

That’s nonsense. If come tasted like feta cheese, I’d save a fortune in kleenex tissues. As for the OP’s friend, maybe it’s a genetic thing? Like how some people can’t eat cilantro because it tastes like soap? ---

Not that I’ve had the pleasure of tasting it, but mine sure smells like pancake batter. ---
