mmm. i thought it was
"we are the boys from down on the farm
we really know our cheese
it's got that little bit extra that
makes chesdale sure to please
for a snack that's better than the rest of the bunch
you can't go past a chesdale lunch
cos chesdale builds tomorrow's champs."
perhaps it's a generational issue? |

Then why are we talking about cheese?? We should talk about something that cannot be consumed. We are just giving said troll ideas on how to feed himself, creating a self-sustaining troll. It is very bad news...
Glenski, I believe I have run out of questions for the time being. Other than which country has the better noodles, but it is hardly worth its own thread  |

Not, so my friend. Cheese to a troll is like garlic to a vampire.

"The Cheese Moon"
I've heard it said by many around,
That the moon is made of cheese they found.
It's mined by little spacemen mice,
Who sell it for a handsome price.
The cheese we eat all comes from there,
From cheddar valleys beyond compare.
And in the rivers of Wensleydale,
The mice scoop cheese in metal pails.
If you peek up you might just see,
The Gorgonzola heights of Ghee.
And to the left and up a bit,
On Stilton mountains mice do sit.
So next time you sit down to cheese,
Remember the mice on Parmezan seas.
Who work non stop in their spacemen hats,
Just glad that they're out of reach of cats!

Cheese for the very brave.
And I thought Stinking Bishop sounded bad. JonnyB, if you can eat this stuff you're a better man than I. |

Sorry, I haven't seen any Cathedral City around. Not sure where the place to get that would be. In Hankyu Osaka there is a supermarket called Ishii which sells some foreign imports and in Osaka JR station there is Ikari which also carries some foreign cheese. You could also try the big department stores: Hankyu and Hanshin etc... |

That cheese is pretty horrible-looking.
| Quote: |
| Casu marzu (also called casu modde, casu cundh�du, or in Italian formaggio marcio) is a cheese found in Sardinia, Italy, notable for being riddled with live insect larvae. |
| Quote: |
Several food safety issues have been raised with casu marzu:
Anecdotal reports of allergic reactions.
A risk of the decomposition advancing to a toxic state. (Folk wisdom in Sardinia holds that the presence of still-living larvae are an assurance that this has not yet happened.)
Risk of enteric myiasis: intestinal larval infection. Piophila casei larvae can pass through the stomach alive (human stomach acids do not usually kill them) and take up residency for some period of time in the intestines, where they can cause serious lesions as they attempt to bore through the intestinal walls. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and bloody diarrhea.

Has anyone brought up the topic of that artist Cosimo Cavallaro? He's the one who coated an entire NY City apartment in cheese! And another time he coated an ENTIRE HOUSE in cheese -- both inside and out!
Here's a picture.
And a link to his website:
http://www.cosimocavallaro.com/
Some weird stuff going on there.... Unless of course setting grand pianos on fire is a common thing where you live.
P.S. He's Canadian. |

Here's one for Jim Dunlop.
| Quote: |
Receipt for Making Dunlop cheese
"On Tuesday morning at the peep of light,
Take all the milk that has stood overnight,
and, by the lustre of the dawning beam,
With a clean clam shell, skim off all the cream,
And from her lazy bed the dairy maid
Be sure to rise, and call her to your aid;
With rosy cheeks and hands as soft as silk,
Bid her hang on the pot and warm the milk,
Let not her heat it with too great a lowe,
But make it tepid, as warm from the cow;
Restore the cream, and put in good strong steep,
But through the molsy first let the milk dreep.
Now pay a due attention to my words;
And press, O gently press, the snow white curds;
Nor mash them small, (now mark well what I say)
Till you have squeez'd out almost all the whey.
Light be the weight for hours, one, two, or three,
And then the pressure may augmented be,
Oft change the clouts, and when the cheese is dried,
Send for the Parish Minister to Try't. |
Written by the Rev. Hamilton Paul circa 1800 - 1820.[17]

Soy cheese !!! 
The Best Vegan Cheese
The Vegan Gourmet brand of vegan cheese contains no whey, casein, rennet, or other animal products (many soy-based cheese still contain a bit of milk in them) and is also gluten-free. The texture is somewhat softer than a dairy cheese, but it tastes great and melts better than other vegan cheeses. This is the best completely vegan brand there is for pizzas, sauces, and anything that you need a really melty cheese for. Although it comes in four different flavors, my favorite is the nacho flavor!

I think Thaialnd is better because the money I make is 1 million in yen PPP wise.
But Japan is better for the girls as Thai girls are stuck in a time-warp fashion and makeup wise.
The food in Thailand is way better.
The weatehr in Thailand is way better.
And the job is so easy, Im working in a univeristy and I dont even have an MA and the students are pretty dumb andhave rally bad pronunciation. I only teach 20 hours a week but get 200.000 yen in salary.
In Japan I was making 299.000 yen working 7 days a week no savings etc..
So apart from the girls with leggings and denim hot pants and digital curls I prefer thaialand what about you guyjins?
And please leave the jealous comments behind everyone can see most of you are jealouse because I have the guts to move on. |
I think Japan is better, much as I like the food and beaches in Thailand. Here I can pull stunning women without them asking for money. Also, there aren't beggars on every corner.
I also teach 20 hours a week. I think you'll find most posters on here are teaching 20 or fewer hours every week.
I wished you still worked in Japan. I enjoyed reading your Sekiguchi posts much more than your Thailand posts. |

Cheese molds
Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable says grinning like a Cheshire cat is "an old simile, popularized by Lewis Carroll". Brewer adds, "The phrase has never been satisfactorily accounted for, but it has been said that cheese was formerly sold in Cheshire moulded like a cat that looked as though it was grinning." The cheese was cut from the tail end, so that the last part eaten was the head of the smiling cat.
Dockyard cats
A more likely origin for the story concerns the cats that lived in the port of Chester. Until the late 1970s, a monument to the Cheshire Cat stood beside the River Dee, where there had formerly been a cheese warehouse. It was said that cats sitting on the dock would wait for the rats and mice to leave the ships transporting Cheshire cheese to London and were the happiest cats in the kingdom, hence their grins. The monument was destroyed when Copfield House, a house that stood on the site of the warehouse, was demolished in 1979. |
