Sheep cheese, goat cheese, no matter…haven’t found a horse cheese though.

That reminds me, I once tried a cheese that was advertised as being "four animal cheese". I count cow, goat and sheep, but none of us could work out what the fourth animal might be. Dog? Rat? Elephant?

Heh! I was once drinking what I thought was milk, until the guy next to me pointed to the label and said…from marine life sources…

What was that? I got no clue!

But horses are milk in some cultures…though I don’t know if they are cheese making cultures…and yes that can be a pun…

Do Cossacks make cheese?

Dunno, but Mongols do so. Mare milk cheese is a really fine very dry cheese, believe me.

Whoopee!

But it is a little far for me to drive over and pick some up…

Fromunda cheese?

Limburger, on rye bread, with onion slice, brown mustard & sardines. With beer.

But only when the wife is away for a few hours. Or I'm camping/fishing.

Try it with wild leeks and she'll have to stay away at least 3 days.

American cheese is basically cheddar that has been melted and mixed after being made to make it homogenous and generally tasteless. It really isn't good and does cheddar a grave injustice.

The only cheese more bland than American cheese is a product called Farmer's cheese. All self respecting farmers should demand a name change...consistency of soggy tofu and less flavor than string cheese; not fit to feed the pigs.

Probably buffalo, like Mozzarella.

As an Englishman and therefore uneducated in matters of cheese I would have to say my number one is either Danish blue or Parkham farm extra mature cheddar.
