‘The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Says She ‘Likes to Be Eaten From Time to Time’

Whoopi Goldberg‘s want fans to get a mouthful of her … telling fans to dive right in and have a taste — of a wheel of cheese bearing her face!

The comedian turned 69 on Wednesday … and, in honor of her big day, Whoopi hosted a “Favorite Things” segment on “The View” alongside cohost Sara Haines — much like the kind Oprah used to offer on her show.

In the clip, Whoopi takes the audience through a few of her favorite products … olive oil, coffee pods, luggage and more — before stepping up to a huge wheel of cheese with her likeness plastered on it.

Sara jokes she’s always wanted her face on a piece of cheese … and, Whoopi quickly responds, “I like to be eaten from time to time.”

As you can imagine, the comment catches Sara completely off guard, and she leaves the frame … coming back a second later and laughing while embracing her longtime pal.

Most of the audience cracked up at Whoopi’s quip … though there were a couple who were clearly taken aback by the legendary star making such a risqué joke.

Of course, Whoopi made an impression on the stand-up circuit before making the jump to movies … so, she knows her way around a dirty joke or two.

Anyhoo … hopefully the audience got to enjoy a little Parmesan cheese — Whoopi flavored!
