replying to myshelf, the cheese rolling down the hill is an apt metaphor for a lot of threads hereabouts. they start all ordered and neat at the top, then the cheese starts a rollin' and it's hell for leather down the hill, people coming from all angles with the wobbley legs.

simile?

I heard they do the cheese rolling in Wales, but they do it more carefully.

What a fantastic event that is. The cheese rolling contest. Lethal but FUN to watch.

The managers would have meetings solely to coerce and con people.  Managers used time stamps on "anonymous" submissions to track down people who gave bad reviews then "arranged" for those people to be sacked.

cheesecake doesnt have cheese in it.

I like Limburger cheese cake.  Usually get the whole pie to myself.

Limburg is about an hour and 15 min on my bike, but the part where they make the cheese is about 7 to 8 hours cycling.



Limburg is the lowest green appendix of a province, i live just above its top (Arnhem) while the cheese is made near its bottom. living so isolated from the rest of the country, their accent has evolved out of the range of being understandable for about half of all dutch people.

... cheesecake doesnt have cheese in it...

Was at a wedding reception last night and the dessert was cheesecake, three small pieces one topped with berries, one caramel and one chocolate.

Can't say i've ever seen a cheesecake recipe that didn't call for cream cheese which is... cheese, for eample.

Cheesecake
four 8-ounce blocks (904g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1 cup (240g) full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (optional, but recommended)
3 large eggs, at room temperature
topping suggestions: salted caramel, lemon curd, strawberry topping, chocolate ganache, red wine chocolate ganache, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or raspberry sauce (recipe in notes)

in dutch cheese cake translates to ''kwark taart''. 'kwark' is a yoghurt-like dairy product which we don't consider to be cheese. probably a cultural difference at play... the internet is beautiful for this exact reason.

cheers

[duck_arse]

kwark? kwark? [it has a certain strangeness about it, but is charming all the same.] sounds like there is a duck in here.

Uhm, "kwark" actually is proto-cheese. It is the first step of cheese.
A cheese cake is a cheese cake.
We Flemish understand this and call kwark "platte kaas", meaning dull, lifeless cheese.
But since we are Flemish, we don't brag about this.


And there is nothing like .... New York cheese cake.

Odd — shouldn't kwarks be "flavourful," by definition? Subatomic cheese ain't all it's quarked up to be, apparently...

[Fancy Lime]

This would make a nice noisy poster:



Also: Subatomic Proto-Cheese, is that a prog-funk band or a DOD chorus pedal from the 90s?

Limburg is the lowest green appendix of a province, i live just above its top (Arnhem) while the cheese is made near its bottom. living so isolated from the rest of the country, their accent has evolved out of the range of being understandable for about half of all dutch people.

I like the idea that this is even possible for people living a mere 100km from the rest of the country. Everything is closer together in that central part of Europe, even the people who don't understand each other! I've driven through four countries in a few hours crossing that part of the world. In contrast, in Spain you could drive 100km, and you'd hardly get out of the range of the local accent of the place where you started, let alone finish up where you couldn't be understood.
