v for frequency?

What a nasty person you are. Is that standard in the UK?

The USA defines a rectangle 4000 x 5000 miles. It's land area is 4 million square miles with 50 states, 330 million people, a zillion cultures and climates and cuisines, glaciers to high desert, and 20K miles of coastline.

And you obviously stereotype it. That's sure easy.

Please stay where you are and we'll all be happy.

Most certainly not.

TNP does like to be quite an objectionable person, and has decided he has killfiled me so will miss this. As an aside why do those who 'Plonk' think it has any effect on the poster?

Sorry to disagree here but... are you sure you couldn't find a home somewhere in your rather large 'forgotten areas'. I for one would be quite happy for him to find a new home where he can continue to expound his vast 'knowledge' to the few who still believe he has great knowledge and experience in just about anything you can name.

As our Latin teacher told us more than once, that "caseus" was the ONLY loanword the Romans took into Latin from Germanic tribes.

In contrary, making cheese was THE method of safely preserving milk, other than making butter, which does not use the proteins.

When I was in Nepals > 30 years ago (OMG!) for the first time, I stumbled across a dairy in the Everest region (way from Lukla->Jiri) where they made hard cheese from yacc milk. It tasted like Appenzeller, probably because it was a foreign aid project from Switzerland. Making hard cheese is easy and safe, and it was even with bronze time resources. Just know-how.

I even dared to try a bowl of yacc yoghurt with wild honey there, no side effects. Yummy!

BULLSHIT.

Their block cheddar isn't bad as a utility cheese. The Makers Reserve is good, if you can find it. In this market I get the Kerrygold Dubliner if I want a nice sharp cheese even if it isn't technically cheddar or their Reserve Cheddar if I can find it.

Well, we actually started off talking about the symbol for frequency :)

It took industrialization to create widespread malnutrition, or sometimes outside forces. Ireland was a net exporter of food during the Famine. The beefeaters had to have their beef.

I really don't care what happens to trolls like peeler as long as I don't have to wade through their tripe.

A farm down the road started with sheep but switched to goats and one lonely looking yak. They have a sign advertising goat milk. I've been meaning to stop to get some and also find out why they switched from sheep and if they milk the yak (assuming it's a cow).

Mostly pretty much the same as now.

Nope, that's the reason cheese was invented.

You'd be wrong about that. Most would have had cows and goats.

Not because they couldnt afford cheese.

I was merely pointing out than in all of the above, there is a total dearth of cheese varieties

No. Populations boomed in the industrial age due to better nutrition.

The USA is so big and diverse it's hard for even a native to grasp it all. But yes, he is welcome to a small plot of land somewhere in the Arizona desert or the Lousiana swamps where he can camp and deplore all the rest.

Cheese here has to be made from pasteurized milk (flash heated, like

Milk was once a major vector for tuberculosis and some other nasties.

There are occasional fads here for raw milk, typically with unfortunate side effects, like dead babies. Odwalla killed some people with unpasteurized fruit juices too.

For years I used to by Cabot Seriously Sharp. Decent cheese. One time though, I tried Kerrygold Reserve. No going back. I get it at BJs.

I think it was one of yours who wrote that.

They don't. Its the 'adult' equivalent of what little kids do, put their fingers in their ears, close their eyes and chant "nyah nyah, can't hear ya"
