Woah… ho… Gotta love that clickbait title. I’ll cut to the chase though- more research is needed before you can get roach milk on the shelf. From the article:

“But today we have no evidence that it is actually safe for human consumption.”

“Plus roaches aren’t the easiest creatures to milk.”

    Goat cheese tastes like goats smell.

    I occassionally visited someone with a goat farm. The odor around the farm was quite distinct and far from pleasant. Then when I tried goat cheese, the taste was spot-on the same as the external odor of goats. Really put me off. I cannot do goat cheese because of that. Yet goat cheese is somewhat popular so I get it. I wonder if aroma is unimportant to some people.

      I really like the smell of goat cheese lol. It’s a strong smell for sure, and it does have that grassy, musky funk to it.

      Then again, I enjoy the smell of goats (though not goat poo). Again, it’s a potent smell, funky and animal.

      But roaches smelled bad to my nose in a way that other bugs don’t. Back in the day, I kept aquariums, fished a lot, and ended up taking in some strange pets. So I was farming earthworms, crickets, meal worms, and brine shrimp. All of them have a distinct smell. But I could be out on the porch where the bugs were, and it was pleasant enough. Not so with the roaches. I was thinking about farming them for other people’s pets, but just couldn’t handle the odor (or the idea of them getting loose tbh).

      I guess it’s one of those things where we’re all wired a tiny bit existent different when it comes to good/bad perceptions
