Years ago I was visiting with a friend and we were nibbling cheeses from
a fruit and cheese basket one of his patients had given him. He tried
one and then cut another piece and handed to me, telling me it was
really good. I popped it into my mouth. I don't remember what it tasted
like. I just remember that he had a really strange look on his face and
I asked what was wrong. As soon as I spoke I figured it out. I could
smell the cheese on my breath. It was foul.
