Damn. Is my veneer of effortless style so transparent?

I recall reading about one of these years ago. A reporter who snuck a bit stated it tasted like rotten feet.

And when, exactly, had the reporter previously sampled rotten feet?

I used to grow carnivorous plants which was fun but also sad because I (along with every other grower I knew) was so aware of the habitat destruction, including peat bogs. Although I did read somewhere that threatened species of North American pitcher plant were being preserved in the wild by planting them in remote Irish bogs.
After I got into the hobby more growers started speaking out about the destruction of peat bogs since peat was our primary growing medium. A lot of effort went into finding more sustainable alternatives, although one option was that living sphagnum was remarkably easy to grow. Basically growers could cultivate it to make their own growing medium. And many carnivorous plants donāt have much in the way of roots anyway.
My small contribution to saving peat bogs was quitting horticulture.

Ugh google is failing me but I recently read an article about the destructive harvesting of sphagnum moss (replacing peat) that was taking place around New Orleansā¦ making me feel guilty about all the peat moss I just spread in my garden but I didnāt buy itā¦ it was a donation from a neighbour who bought too muchā¦ ugh. Ethics! Why is life so hard! I just want to grow veggies!

Am I the only person who would eat it?
I like cultured butters, I like blue cheese, I like roquefort, I like gorgonzolaā¦
I was recently at a party that had a cheese that was $100/lb and smelled so bad it had to be kept under glassā¦ and we gladly ate it (it was delicious!).
I would eat the bog butter!
Iām not ashamed!

I love me some stanky cheese, and I would try the bog butter too.
How come cheese that smells like feet is awesome, and feet that smell like cheese are terrible?
(rhetorical question)

Warning: This link, like 2000-year-old butter, is not for the squeamish, although Iām sure @Missy_Pants and @piratejenny will be fine with it.
