e: I recently tried those Pioneer Woman Fried Goat Cheese Bites and wow, they were awful. The breading crisped up nicely (I baked them 2 mins extra on each side) and the interior was some decent goat cheese but holy gently caress that "marinara" was the worst thing I've had in a long time. It was super thin and absolutely flavorless. I would've been better if I dipped them in ketchup. The breading also had no flavor at all, just nice texture.

I guess they'd be good if I put some seasoning in the bag and shook it, then baked them and used a real marinara but that defeats the entire purpose of making a depression meal of an entire bag of fried goat cheese bites for dinner, now doesn't it?

Until this post I only knew of Pioneer Woman as an odd choice of branding for dog treats, so reading this was a bit of a journey lemme tell you.

One nice thing I like is if there's a farmer's market I like to get basically any cheese they're selling, cos it's probably interesting and nice, even if it looks like some sort of mutant hell tumour a lot of the time. Apparently the UK is just super loving into cheese in a way even the continentals aren't quite.

Preach. I'm as far from nationalistic as it's possible to be but one thing I'm passionate about is cheese and it frustrates me that British cheese isn't better known and appreciated internationally because I genuinely think we have the best in the world. I don't know if it's a failure of marketing or the fact we're next to France who fairly or not have the reputation of culinary mastery sucking up a lot of the market for cheese on the continent. Obviously most European countries have their own domestic cheeses, many excellent, but in terms of sheer brilliance across all varieties (hard, soft, washed rind, blue etc) I don't see any other country that can compete. As I tell my sceptical students, what do you need for good cheese? Good dairy, which requires happy cows, which require lush grass, which requires a lot of rain, which we have in abundance.

This is the exact premise of the marketing behind California/Oregon dairy and cheese, and I sure see no reason to disagree.

Personally I am quite happy for UK cheese to remain in the UK because then I get to eat it all.

But I guess perhaps there just isn't a cooking tradition associated with it. A lot of italian or french stuff is used in popular foods from those countries but I can't think of anything from the UK that's the same, I think largely because we don't really cook with cheese, we just eat it. And if you do cook with cheese you probably cook something foreign and sub in your preferred kind. I use stilton in lieu of french blue cheese a lot of the time, or cheddar instead of parmesan.

I also can't really think of any traditional british food that has cheese in it. Other than rarebit, I guess. Or maybe some pasties/pies but that might be a modern thing.

That might also be why there's a lot of different types of cheese because you just eat it as is so much, so you want a lot of variety if you're not doing anything else with it, it's a finished food by itself first and foremost.

I think I had a diabetic attack just watching this.

Also it's a terrible visual aesthetic. Sprinkles are a solely visual aspect, just colored wax. Same with the gold leaf. It's making a lot of colors and shiny bits to dazzle you to distract you from the much too much sugar all at once. I hate it.

Nice music though.

Moor's Heads or Negro Kisses, depending on region (including Austria). Now they're called Foam Kisses.

quote:

Romans used an artificial sweetener, Sugar of Lead, to sweeten and preserve their foods without taking on additional calories.

Sugar of Lead, likely the first artificial sweetener, is now known as the chemical compound Lead (II) Acetate, and it's a poisonous crystalline solid that resembles table salt.

lol that article repeating the fall of Rome lead story in TYOOL 2020.

They knew lead was poisonous. They still used it because people aren't rational, but they knew better and weren't dumping lead acetate into every wine amphora.

This isn't cool at all Looshkin! These are dark forces you're titting about with!

There was a working men's club in the village I grew up in. I used to drink mild and play pool there age fourteen with a tin of snuff.

They sold a "ploughman's lunch". It was 50p and consisted of a Jacobs cream cracker, a dairylea triangle, and a single silverskin pickled onion. Former mining villages, man. Absolutely wild.

I've always figured that the lack of cheese in Asian cuisines was due to the fact that being able to process dairy in adulthood is uncommon outside of white people.
Based on the number of people I know who are lactose intolerant and yet still eat as much cheese as they can physically get their hands on, I doubt that's a factor.
