dericwater: Trance750: theorellior: phaseolus: I'll never understand foodies' fascination with it.

I'm no foodie, but goat cheeses rock. Also sheep cheese.

The cheese I can't stand is anything blue. Just one of those things. So, I tell you what, you pass me that Chevre and I'll pass you this Roquefort.

Not much of a cheese connoisseur, but I can eat Bree forever.

So I see you're a porn star connoisseur. Bree's done some good work with 3-somes.


I was thinking about the Cheese. However, I'd eat the other one all day too

Nothing pleases like assorted cheeses.

iamrex: mekki: But, seriously, if the food or drink item you call "artisan" is something you learn to make in an afternoon using ingredients you bought at your local grocery store, that's not really "artisan." Again, that's "home made" or "made from scratch."

In a country where many many 'foods' are created by machines, any food that is actually made with - you know - hands, is artisan.

Do you really think that tub of Frigo ricotta sealed up in a plastic tub with a sell-by date that's 4-6 weeks out sitting on the shelf of your supermegamart is the same as something made with local ingredients by a person who has learned an ancient skill and put it to use for the love of doing it?

Should there not be a difference in the consumer's cost of these two very different products?


That's why there's a label called "made from scratch" or "home/house made." But unless the food item was made from unique ingredients in an unique way in which the maker had a hand in all of the entire process, then I don't think it should be labeled "artisan."

If I am willing to shell out money for a one of a kind product then I should get a one of a kind product. Not something that anyone can whip up.

dumbobruni: when I leave France, I will terribly miss the raw, ash-covered goat cheese

I had some of that style at a cheesefest in Vermont. Very tasty.

There is a homemade cheese around here somewhere.

We call it Horace. A nice blue veined cheese, though the kilt is a bit much.

Cougar Gold from WSU Creamery is amazing. Got a tin aging in the fridge.

Monty Python reference was early on pg 1.
Used to make cheese at home, it squeaked. Then, there weren't as many resident cats to try to devour it on the spot. Hope I still have/can find the recipe/directions --
Did votey for this, also saved the article from the Seattle Times, because I could!

thalidomide new and improved: I even took the time to go out and get my own labels made, because I'm a raging poseur like that. the labels are better than the beer, currently.

Yeastie Boys* Brewers and Bakers (aka, my husband), agrees with you. I just picked up prints of our labels this afternoon.


also a brand of NZ beer. We bought some yesterday.

Another thread where people act like anyone gives a flying Fark.

We just had the thread that consisted of people posting about what their dogs like to eat. Now we have a thread where Farkers post about what cheese they like.

Nobody cares what stinking cheese you like! Arrogant freaking bastards.

Found my squeaky-cheese recipe, or at least a version of it. This also sent me to replace the cookbook the original was in, that's become Creatively Filed, a synonym for Lost/Misplaced. Found where I could get a copy for Not That Much. Fang Q subby for bringing this article!
You Hoo have less than kind comments to make, know what you can do/where you may go. Me too mayhap, since this is less than kind.

Day_Old_Dutchie: You want a true artisan cheese?

From Sardinia


No.

Not only no, but hell farking no.

Not only hell farking no, but "If abandoned on a desert island where this was the only foodstuff between me and starvation, I hereby will my belongings to the SO and instruct said SO to dispose of my online accounts as they see fit because I will bury myself in sand and die as a dessicated mummy rather than put that nasty-arse, maggot-ridden shiate in my mouth".

(Seriously, you just mentioned one of exactly two major foodstuffs that I have on my "will not consume in any circumstances up to and including incipient death" list. And I'd argue that the other--brains--is actually something I'd consider consuming before casu marzu. There's aged, then there's "well aged", then there's "gone off", then there is "farking flyblown and not fit for human consumption", and casu marzu is in the fourth category by design and OH GOD I CAN'T SEE WHY WOULD YOU PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUTH GAH YOU MAKE BABY (INSERT DEITY OF CHOICE HERE) CRY WITH THIS VERY CONCEPT).

/and keep in mind I LIKE fermented foods; I actually like kimchi
//have made my own yogurt, would be interested in making my own paneer (which is an easy homemade cheese for beginners--it's my understanding that if you can make Greek-style yogurt at home, you can make paneer)
///again, though, these are fermented and not farking FLYBLOWN

I used to be an artisan cheese maker, but then I got circumcised.
