She said every day when she went in to work, the vat was carpeted with a squirming mass of cockroaches. Completely carpeted it. You couldn't see the white cheese underneath. She had a rake and a scoop to rake off and scoop out the dead ones who were left behind after the ones that were still alive bugged out.
Couldn't eat cottage cheese for 40 years after that!
