Do you like cheese, /ck/?
>>7725045
As long as it's cheese and not WIDF «cheese»
>>7725045
Yes, especially unpasteurized.
>>7725045
I love plastic garbage, we award ourselves a new made up prize every year. The best microcheeseries don't sell across state lines so if you think you don't like plastic garbage, it's because you haven't had the real microcheeseries cheese that isn't like what you think
Basically, I've never had actual cheese but I have very strong feelings on the topic of something you've had and I haven't. Wisconsin makes the only real plastic garbage, if you think Vermont has even thought about cheese you're obviously trying to annihilate America and let me tell you, europoors, I don't think about you at all

>>7725127
European cheese contests can be inherently biased against foreign cheeses simply because they only accept DOC cheesemakers and give awards by class of cheese. You can make Red Leicester in America but it wouldn't be admissible or as good as what you can produce in England because of the terroir, but you can make new and different kinds of cheeses in America that are on par with euro cheese, just different. It's kind of silly that we put faith in these contests as objective measures of quality
It's kind of like entering a German Shepard in a Poodle contest

let me rephrase that. I don't like brine foods in aluminum cans. they taste like the can. I am not opposed to, say, pickled okra or asparagus. In the case of artichoke hearts, I prefer them freshly marinated.

What would be an example of a "healthier" cheese? Is goat cheese healthier than cow cheese?
>>7726868
It has less fat. I don't know if that's necessarily healthier.
>>7726868
i dunno about healthier but people who have problems with lactose tolerate goat cheese better. something to do with the size of the fat globules
>>7725103
Is that like the World Series though, where the rest of the World doesn't even get an invite?
>>7726942
They do, but they don't give out awards by class, just which cheese they like the most
Most cheese contests in Europe are based on class, like best Cheddar or best Edam or whatnot. Well in that case you can only really have cheese from producers in the cheddar or edam region, so American cheddars or edam would not be admissible as they are not actually from those places, just "cheddar style" or "edam style." It's not a terrible system but it is not possible for American cheeses to win in those contests
The problem with the Wisconsin cheese board's contest is something like 2/3 of the judges are from America, so they have an inherent bias for American cheeses you would assume, but I think they are probably well trained enough about the cheeses of the world that that would not be a huge problem
Frankly the meme war about wisconsin and european cheese is stupid to me. It's not like Euros are trying to impress americans with their food, they already know it is good
I almost accidentally bought a Wisconsin cheese today, it somehow got mixed in with the real cheese instead of staying in its segregated part of the store reserved for plastic garbage
It wasn't pre sliced so I momentarily got confused

Truth is subjective to begin with but you're clearly presenting us with a bit of misinformation you wish us to believe is fact. Now, I know wiki has issues, but when all the links and biblio share the same info you really don't even have a leg to stand on. Be stubborn all you want but the overwhelming amount of information available to us via the internet states quite clearly that you are WRONG.
Unless you have some backing evidence from an accredited source you should really just fuck off, this thread has surpassed you.
>>7728472
I don't need to back anything up you said Cheddar was PDO . . .. it's down to YOU to provide evidence for this. .. . Not Jewpedia.

'the name "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar" has an EU protected designation of origin, and may only be produced in Somerset, Devon, Dorset and Cornwall, using milk sourced from those counties.[36] Cheddar is usually sold as mild, medium, mature, extra mature or vintage. Mature cheddar is the best-selling variety in the UK.[37] Cheddar produced in Orkney is registered as an EU protected geographical indication under the name "Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar"'

Nah, you're backpedalling. I won, you know it, and now everyone who is capable of reading knows it too.

No, you said Cheddar wasn't PDO. It obviously is. Stupid american.

Also, learn to read. I know your nations educational standards are the lowest out of all the modern nations but this is ridiculous. So much proof here and you can't and/or refuse to read any of it.

Oh really? Because I read this and then found vast amounts of evidence, even evidence from my own government, saying you're wrong.
Now I haven't seen Edam, but Cheddar is on the list, both Wiki and gov.uk. And fuck off with your nitpicky bullshit. Just because the Cheddars on the list aren't labelled simply "Cheddar" doesn't mean a damn thing. Just look at the rest of the list and the 5 different types of "Pecorino".
Go ahead, keep moving the goal post. I'm still scoring.

Go cry to your niggerking, murican.
>>7728633
I'm not a part of this argument but I hope I can clear this up.
It both is and isn't a PDO. The EU in typical anti-British sentiment said that Cheddar was to widespread for it to get PDO status, Feta was the same but they gave that a PDO, but they agreed that the traditional cheddar which is distinguished by being "farmhouse" can get a PDO.
I hope this helped everyone.
>>7728641
>http://www.britishcheese.com/othercheese/british_protected_name_cheeses-89
Oh hey, Cheddar is on this list too...Hmmmm. I guess Its just another instance of all reputable evidence saying you're wrong.
Will you simply move the goal post again? Another not-so-subtle attempt to chance your stance? You should also stop leaning so heavily on that wiki article, you said they're unreliable. I'll stick with the government backed websites.
>>7728651
Not really. Normally I disagree with anything the EU tries to enforce. A bunch of clowns pretending at legitimacy.

>PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
>“West Country Farmhouse Cheddar”
Not "Cheddar". Not "Cheddar Cheese". Not even "Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese". It must be the literal words "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar". Which is a specific type of cheddar, made specifically in the West Country (which is defined in that PDO).
It's the same way that "Parma ham" is a PDO but "ham" is not.
The reason the PDO is for "West Country Farmhouse Cheddar" is specifically because a PDO application for "Cheddar" was rejected, because it was considered that Cheddar was too generic a word now.
>>7728708
There's also Orkney Scottish Island Cheddar PGI
And 5 different PDOs for Pecorino.
What's your point? Cheddar has a PDO and a PGI.

That "Cheddar cheese" is not a PDO, as other posters have told you over and over again. Are you thick or something?
>>7728773
Yes, it is. Its just expanded to 2 main types that have PDO/PGI and the rest.
Just like Pecorino has 5 different PDO for the 5 distinct types of Pecorino.

You don't know how PDOs work, do you?
"Cheddar Cheese" is not a PDO. There are no "main types" of PDO, unless you mean "Things which are PDO" and "Things which are not PDO": in which case "Cheddar Cheese" is the type of PDO which is "Things which are not PDO".
>>7728829
Except for the part where its listed by EVERYONE in the great big list of PDOs and PGIs.

Except the part where it isn't.
A webpage run by Bob McBobson who's a sloppy fucker who also doesn't know how PDO's work isn't a canonical source. You even linked right to the PDO itself: it is for "Westcountry Farmhouse Cheddar Cheese".
There is not, never has been, and never will be, a PDO for "Cheddar Cheese".
I conclude that you don't know how PDOs work and thus your opinion is entirely invalid.

Thankfully I quickly remembered that 1989 was a dry year in Bordeaux. They called it the year of the raisin. I managed just in time to confront him and demand my righful half as our cheese pact stipulates.

I'll probably start by taking a fifteen min walk to the local supermarket and browsing the deli selections. Stop for a coffee built into the store. Wander back, head to the butcher's nearby for something for dinner and some summersausage and cuts to go along a sampler plate, then I'll take a drive to the farmers market and socialize with a few folks I know and cache their input, probably get a drink, maybe a bite and head back.
