Why do people like to DRINK it? I opened a fresh container - for cooking something - and decided to pour one drop on my palm to taste. All I could think was: "Sour milk."

Of course, I guess you could say the same thing about certain cheeses. (Legend has it that blue cheese was discovered centuries ago when a French shepherd forgot his lunch in a cave, found it days or weeks later, and was so hungry he ate it - and enjoyed it.)
