Would You Eat This Stilton and Bacon Cheesecake?

I think it's safe to say that most people would not turn down a creamy slice of sweet cheesecake.

I think it's safe to say that most people would not turn down a creamy slice of sweet cheesecake. However, the more out of the ordinary savory cheesecake is a much harder sell.

I would jump at the chance to eat Nemmie's savory stilton and bacon cheesecake, but know many of you find blue cheese — no matter what form — unappetizing. The blue cheese is mixed with cream cheese and topped with bacon, so the pungent flavor is most likely be toned down.

Knowing that, would you eat this?

Stilton:
An English blue cheese made from whole cow's milk. The milk ripens for four to six months, allowing mold to grow. It is a cheese with a pale yellow-white color and blue-green veins. It is creamy and rich in texture and its flavor sharpens with age. It has a mellow flavor with a pungent blue-cheese bite. Stilton can only be made in the British counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire to a specified recipe.

Stilton Cheesemakers Announce Eau de Stilton Perfume

I love blue cheese, including Blue Stilton, but always try to keep it off of my hands while eating it.

I love blue cheese, including Blue Stilton, but always try to keep it off of my hands while eating it. It's too stinky and I don't want to have that potent odor lingering around all night long. This is why I am flabbergasted to hear that the Stilton Cheesemakers' Association has commissioned a Manchester-based aromatics company to create a wearable Eau de Stilton perfume. The scent will be earthy, yet fruity and feature a "symphony of natural base notes including yarrow, angelica seed, clary sage and valerian." Nigel White, of the SCA, stated:

"Blue Stilton cheese has a very distinctive, mellow aroma and our perfumier was able to capture the key essence of that scent and recreate it in what is an unusual but highly wearable perfume."

I'm a little skeptical, but admittedly, I can't wait to get a whiff of it.
