Bleu cheese has blue speckles. Blue cheese is a general classification of cow's milk and/or goat's milk cheeses with a blue or blue-green mold. The blue mold in these cheeses is due to mold spores from Penicillium roqueforti or Penicillium glaucum, etc. http://www.foodreference.com/html/artbluecheese.html Pictures here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cabrales_blue_Cheese.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_cheese [Added references - McG] Jan 26 07, 8:42 AM

Blue food is a rare occurrence in nature. There are no leafy blue vegetables, no blue meats, and aside from blueberries and a few blue-purple potatoes from remote spots on the globe, blue just doesn't exist in any significant quantity as a natural food color. http://www.colormatters.com/appmatters.html Jan 26 07, 9:59 AM

This is the reason that sticking plasters (band-aids) in a catering first aid kit should be blue. Never mind the finger, you can spot the plaster. Jan 26 07, 2:05 PM

M & Ms now contain blue candies, which qualify under the terms of the question. Also there are fish tacos, which obviously can be made from Blue Gill, right? Jan 29 08, 5:16 PM

Bluegill (a member of the sunfish family) are not actually blue. The name comes from the bright blue edging visible on its gill raker. Bluefish have a silvery-blue tint to them, however, served as "food" they aren't going to look much different than any other fish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluefish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluegill Jan 29 08, 10:13 PM

There have been blue Smarties for years, too. There is blue in the mould inside some cheeses, and green in others. Whether the mould counts as a food is open to question. It's the cheese you buy. Jan 30 08, 1:24 PM
