As a true norwegian i must say that i love your discussions about our cheese, but i must say that you haven't tasted anything yet... Go to your favourite Cheese-store, or (if in US) Cheese- supermarket or Cheese-mart, and ask for a bit of "Pultost" or "Pultcheese". (translated directly to english it actually means fucked cheese...) I promise you, you will never speak of scandinavian cheese ever again.... Those of you who are directly related to Evil Kneivel (famous stuntman) should go straight on to the "Gammelost" or "Oldcheese". It makes the english Stilton smell like a freshly bathed babys bottom. For the rest of you that are not suicidal, "Norwegian Jarlsberg" is absolutely delicious....

oh hello. you all dont know me. my name is robin, and i am a young girl who currently resides in berkeley, california, usa, and who plans on getting out of here as soon as i finish my degree. i know you all have stopped discussing the merits of various cheeses, but in reply to a man (?) who calls himself (herself?) "Trousers" i shall have to laud the norwegian brown cheese.
FOR THE LOVES OF CHEESES
I read with interest the debate about Scandinavian cheese. While I have no reason to doubt McTaggart's recommendations, I would like to warn you away from Norwegian Brown Cheese, which has a consistency midway between peanut butter and putty.
if i am right i believe you are talking about gjetost cheese, a cheese my boyfriend has the utmost trouble in pronouncing. but he also can't pronouce "autechre" correctly. look at us dumb americans! (that's self-deprecating humor and applies only to myself and my boyfriend, and not to various sensitive listers.) this cheese is amazing because it an orangey-brown colour and feels like clay in one's mouth. it has a lovely, sweet, buttery taste, also. if any of you feel so inclined to drop acid, gjetost cheese and a big long hunk of sweet bread is a nice accompaniment to your hallucinations.
who would have thought my first post would be about cheese.
also, i really enjoy reading the heated arguments about new jerseyites and sussexites and who's sense of humor is right, and everything. not that i would enjoy reading it every day, but thank you for making my life a half percentage more interesting.
does anyone else place sid meier's civilization? does anyone else name their cities in this game after belle and sebastian songs?
ignore me if you want to, robin.
