Bio hazard? well, i guess it's a body fluid... but how timely:

It's a bio-hazard and a tastey treat!

Chef makes cheese from wife's breast milk
Word leaked out, but New York chef won't put mommy's-milk cheese on menu

Inspiration struck at 3:30 a.m. After a long night at his restaurant, a bleary-eyed Daniel Angerer was on daddy duty, heating up stored breast milk to feed his infant daughter. He tasted it to be sure it wasn't too hot, and suddenly thought: not bad.

"I got curious. The baby certainly likes it," explains the 38-year-old New York City chef.

So Angerer, always on the look out for natural ingredients, figured, why not make cheese?

Their home freezer was overflowing with excess bags of milk his wife had pumped. They wanted to donate to a milk bank, but hadn't yet been approved. "It's like liquid gold. You can't pour it down the drain."

The Austrian-born chef has now made a couple of batches of mommy's-milk cheese. The first was salty sweet and the second, slightly spicy. "It depends on what my wife has eaten. That directs the flavour."

It tastes more like cheese made from cow's milk, he says. Goat cheese is more gamey.

He whipped up a luscious-looking appetizer – maple caramelized pumpkin encrusted mommy's-milk cheese with texturized concord grapes – but just for him and his wife.

He has no intention of featuring his wife's breast milk on the menu of his restaurant, Klee Brasserie. "I never intended that," he insists. "That weirds me out."

He did, however, write about his cheese-making with intimate ingredients on his blog, danielangerer.com, and got 16,000 hits. About one per cent of comments were disapproving, even scary, he says. But the others were positive, encouraging. Some suggested he expand his repertoire to breast-milk butter, cheese cake, ice cream.

(He did try yogurt. "Not that great.")

Word has leaked out in foodie circles, and many of his Klee customers are clamouring to sample the cheesey delicacy. "I have to be careful," he says. "They could call you a human flesh eater. I did get a comment like that."

He might offer a wee free nibble, maybe little canapes with dried figs on a crouton. But if they liked it too much, he'd have to wean them off.
