Hi Antonia,
I googled it and found lots of sites, quotes, ... on that and its origin. But still nothing on its current meaning!
The Moon is made of green cheese: A term from the sixteenth century. "Green" refers not to
the color of the moon, but to new immature cheese. Round like the shape of the moon with a mottled surface and color similar to that of the moon.

It's rather repulsing... Is it a translation, Antonia? a thriller? or a horror book?
