Why is cottage cheese the only cheese defined by some relationship to a building?
Where is the cabin cheese? The fourth-floor-walkup cheese? Give me the fancy mansion cheese. Or skyscraper cheese, ooh la la.
Leave the bathhouse cheese alone, though

Pub cheese would like a word.
thanks. this might be it. I was thinking there was some sort of cheese with a name like this but I still feel there is at least one more.
Brothel cheese?
Sometimes, being able to read feels like a curse.
There's another: Höhlenkäse (= Cave Cheese)
Your mom's got cave cheese
Lmao gotten!
This looks like a cheese that went to college and graduated summa cum latte.
Isn't that cheddar? Or whatever the european continent version is? The name of the cheese changes depending on whether they cover the cheese with cheesecloth, burlap, plastic/wax, or bared before leaving it in a cave? https://culturecheesemag.com/recipes/diy/age-appropriate-make-cheese-cave/ or https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337837/The-cheese-cave-Damp-conditions-Welsh-countryside-ideal-place-store-maturing-cheddars.html
If I remember correctly, most of the modern aging processes try to mimic natural caves, since we just don't have enough of the real thing to age all of our cheese.
What makes you think it's the building naming the cheese and not the cheese naming the building? Why can't we live in roqueforts, in masdaams, in cheddars?
I live in The Tower of BabyBelon
😌👌
Bad news about the tower, guys... :-/
Wake me up when they hit the 2nd Tower
This may be premature but I'm pretty sure it's coming soon if you wanna start waking up
I was going to joke that Id prefer to live in a Jarlsberg, but when looking up Jarlsberg to spell it correctly I discovered its named for Jarlsberg Manor, which is (and this is true) a building
The more you know
Roquefort-sur-Soulzon would have taken its name from a fortress, too, so that counts.
You can live in Cheddar. Nice town, good hiking opportunities.
Or Gouda. For extra fun while you're there, pronounce Gouda the way it's typically said in English and watch the Dutchies flinch as little parts of their soul leave their bodies.
if you do it you legally have to buy one cheese wheel at the cheese auction there
Goo-da is almost a pokémon

Wait, how is it supposed to be pronounced?
GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.
We actually call it ‘Goudse kaas’, though. ‘Gouda’ is just the city of Gouda.
I wasn't going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.
It works the same in English, though, just with the suffix ‘-ish’ (and a number of other suffixes) instead of Dutch ‘-se’. You could literally translate ‘Goudse kaas’ as ‘Goudish cheese’, Gouda just never gets the ‘-ish’ suffix (or any suffix at all, really) in English.

Here is how the Dutch say Gouda, with Van Gogh thrown in as a bonus.
phew. that's enough aggression for one day
But not in a cheddar!
Named after the process.
Maasdam and Gouda (among others) are towns.
But not buildings!
You know how we say that Mushrooms are the largest organisms on earth, because the Mycelium is interconnecting all through the forest and we only see the fruiting bodies?
Well, most reasonably modern towns have all their buildings connected by the fresh water and sewage pipes and possibly gas-pipes. I'll exclude electricity, because the cables don't really have a volume they enclose.
So you could argue that most towns in Europe are indeed a building.
Nice. Is there an europe cheese? ( Not "European", but "europe")
Roquefort is indeed a nice village in south-western France
Cheddar is a village in southern England
...and Maasdam is in the Netherlands
European cheese villages, unite!
I think it would be easier to list the French cheeses that are NOT named after a place.
So not even close to Cheddar? Why don't they call it Caputo instead.
Better than head cheese. Ewww
Better than dick cheese. Ewww.
There once was a surgeon named Keith, who circumcised men with his teeth. It was not for leisure, or sexual pleasure, but to get to the cheese underneath.
That GIF is hilarious
That doesn't make sense. Villagers know perfectly well how to make cheese and the cow is the most expensive part of the process. You add some acid to make the curd, add your starter culture from the sheep stomach, and have that rest for some time in a cool and dark space. After a while start salting it, if you have salt available.
I presume you can use a lot of brick cheese to make a cottage cheese
“I like cottage cheese. That is why I want to try other dwelling cheeses, too. How about studio apartment cheese? Mobile home cheese?"
Double-wide cheese.
I'd say that's definitely double-wide cheese.
My dumbass brain just thought that's not true, there is "Hüttenkäse" in German... Which is cottage cheese. 🤦🏼♂️
I want condo cheese
Don't look up what that means in Nepali.
Queso Casita
All cheese is made by bacteria who live there, so it's pretty much a building to them!
So I hereby define every cheese by relationship to a building.
(I'm fun at parties.)
I know a guy who keeps cheese in a cellar specific for that cheese.
Little House on the Prairie Cheese.
Cottage cheese made in a cottage
Toe cheese ...
Most other cheeses are named after regions that had the specific cultures, climate conditions, and artisinal practices necessary to produce that particular cheese. Cottage cheese is just sorta the base cheese that any old peasant can make in their cottage.
