I hear they took the sample from a chunk found in Robert Byrd's wine cellar.

Cheese is a comfort food. There's no quick lunch more satisfying than a grilled cheese sandwich.

Funny. I wouldn't think even a dumb Roman would eat a piece of 2000 year old cheese.: )

I would give up meat(which I'd never do) before I would cheese.

Remember cheese mites are on all, ALL cheese. Maybe that's what gives it the delicious flavor. More mites, more flavor. (Mites would be a good source of protein for those vegans whose bodies desperately weep for tissue from living beings)

I would hope you meant tissue from dead beings?

This bacterial infection is still a problem today.
However, it is *never* found in retail cheese products and very rarely found in homegrown cheese products.
The bacteria itself doesn't care if you're eating cheese, or just drinking a glass of milk or eating a bowl of ice cream.
The biggest problem it causes today is the quarantine of the infected cows and all cows with which they had been in contact.
