Cheese Whizz!...............
It’s why I hate cheese, yogurt...sour cream...that enzyme taste is blech!
and forget bleu cheese, if the tiniest crumb even so much as touched something, it’s a goner. :(
don’t mind ice cream though...so it’s not all dairy. but ew cheese.
No whey
Never fear. Pfizer has a patent on a synthetic rennet that will be in our cheese soon.
I think it stinks ,LOL
No Cheese thread is complete without this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz1JWzyvv8A
It isn’t just parmesan.
A lot of cheese requires Rennet.
You can use a plant called Rue to do much the same thing but baby calf enzymes probably smell better, and there is probably a broader variety of textures and flavors that result.
...whatever...
My love of cheese is outweighed by my love of not being plugged up.
The article didn’t mention the fact that the rennet is obtained as a byproduct from calfs processed for veal.
Grateful for the vegan Caesar salad dressings that substitute parmesan with cashew.
Sounds gross. but I don’t eat any cheese.
Gave up all saturated fats a few years ago when diagnosed with Heart Failure. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) in glass bottles is a good fat. Use it for sauteing and on potatoes, etc.
I thought they just put cheddar in an old sock, and hung it in the dark for a few years.
All those little bull calves are gonna go early anyway.
Survivor had the chicken and rooster episode this week. Throughout the years there have been a wide variety of reactions. Sometimes they let the animals go. One time they idiotically killed the hen before the rooster.
This time, they killed that rooster. All the females turned away and couldn’t witness the killing. The guys who did it werent even sure how to do it. .. but they all chowed down on the animal.
Virtual signaling is hard when you are starving.
Rennet isn’t baby cow’s stomachs; it’s a protein that is produced in calves’ stomachs. It is harvested from calves that are slaughtered for veal because the calves are being slaughtered anyway; it doesn’t necessarily require the calves to be killed. Because the calves are being slaughtered anyway, it’s slightly easier to produce than extracting from live calves or producing vegetarian rennet.
I find it interesting to compare vegetarians’ objections to rennet to harvesting aborted fetuses for stem cells: babies aren’t aborted solely for stem cells (dear God, don’t get me started on the ways this isn’t always true), but stem-cell harvesting certainly does fund abortions.
That’s nothing. Ever had mountain oysters? And not know what they were till after you et?
The average idiot can be talked out of all foods to the point they only try eating rocks and twigs.
There are versions of Parmesan not made this way. Kosher varieties, for example, use vegetable or fish enzymes rather then rennet, and taste just fine.
Historians think cheese was first discovered when someone stored milk in a pouch made from a sheep or goat stomach. That brave soul tasted the clotted solids and decided it was good. It’s not exactly a secret that most cheese is not vegetarian. Ignorance of modern man does not astound me anymore.
