| Somebody asked earlier what whey is: whey is the liquid part remaining in the cheesemaking process- if you take cottage cheese, for example, its that thin grey-white liquid that builds up as you take out the curds. Apparently it is very nutritious. I see no reason why curds and whey should be in opposition: together they are nutritionally complementary. Ah, historical grievances! |

| Whey sounds gross but if I had to choose between whey and the current administration, I'd go with the whey. |

Ah, Cheesemaking as a metaphor for the rise of nationalism and notions of ethnic superiority.
I suppose you could use cheesemaking as a metaphor for the breakdown of the Ottoman Empire and the 'population exchange' of 1923. |

I think you'll find it's the other way round. |

I thought they made cheese in saddlebags as they raced their horses across the Steppes and the milk in the leather bags acted like rennet and they found cheese after a long day trekking... or something.
At any rate, you can't make cheese without making whey so they are one and the same, born of the same milky mother, regardless of current grievances (I'm solid! I'm liquid! Let's separate!) |

Proper big ups for them nomads eh? What would we put in our tomato soup without them? JAM? I don't care where you're from, you can't put jam in soup, and make no mistake about that. |
