Lots of cheeses came close to vanishing because of WWII.
But now we have little cheese makers and they are making a comeback.
How can anyone govern a nation that has 246 different kinds of cheese?
Charles de Gaulle.
There was one highly suspicious specimen wrapped in leaves. I told my wife: "They probably found this in the woods somewhere and said: "Let's stick this in the store. Some American will come along and buy it!"
had a friend who liked limburger cheese, along with liverwurst and onion. We had a store that would make the sandwich, but the person doing so hated it lol
Swiss cheese is good, but my favorite is Jarlsberg. It’s what Swiss cheese wants to be when it grows up. Slice off a hunk at room temp and nothing is better.
Jarlsberg is also very high in Vitamin K2 (very important for bone health and also keeping calcium out of your arteries) due to the particular bacteria involved in producing it. https://www.nutritionadvance.com/foods-high-in-vitamin-k2/ It is 2nd on the list.
I love Swiss cheese, but if there is any choice involved, I will have the Jarlsberg every time.
Just saw an ad from NHK that portrayed a tribe of australopithecus afarensis. Maybe it was them.
A memory from my early youth (I was maybe 4 or 5) was a table of two Italian couples eating maggoty cheese at the local pizzeria.
Darned government regulators have made it a black market delicacy now, I suppose.
Limburger is OK, but proper German Tilsit is awesome. It is very hard to find because it is rather pungent (will keep a room empty for hours after being opened). My bro tried to buy some for me a couple days ago, but what he got was mislabeled, and it is more like an odorless mozzarella, quite boring.
My Grandfather (RIP) used to eat it on rye with a bermuda onion, I was like...eww until I tried it. Yum.
I don't give adam.
I once bought something in Florida that was labeled “beer cheese.” Smelled like feet, but it was delicious.
lol- bland mozerella- I never did try the limburger cheese- but woudl if it were still around- i do like liverwurst on crackers with onion htough
i never have tried it but owudl like to- they claim that the stinky stuff is ‘smelled’ when it’s in the mouth, by the back of the throat, and it has a totally different smell’ that is actually pleasant- the brain senses it differently than it does when you just take a normal whiff of it
