    This implies the existence of ‘contrast’ and ‘brightness’ as other variable metrics that can describe various cheeses.

    But more seriously:

    Sharp, Extra Sharp cheese is so fucking good.

    I love it so much that I developed a healthy salad eating habit to avoid shitting bricks after eating a quarter of a brick of cheese, so sharp cheese + salads is a win win in my book.

    My sincerest condolences to the lactose intolerant.

        Well, I’m hesitant to be the person that tries to convince somebody to eat something that their body doesn’t like to process any amount of.

        And, hard cheese and sharp cheese are or at least can be different things, ie, hard romano or parmesan, vs sharp cheddar… and then there’s say gouda, that can be hard or sharp, or hard and sharp…

        I know this is a different thing, but like… so many people just decide they’re gluten intolerant, when they actually aren’t… whatever brother/sister, eat or don’t eat what you want.

        I’ve met way too many people who just make up reasons to justify some diet they don’t understand, as well as people who actually do understand their bodies, their particular differences, and actually have diets that make sense for them… I’m just going with the ‘munch and let munch’ approach.

        EDIT:

        And further, all of us who are not lactose intolerant?

        We’re actually the weird mutants.

        Most humans don’t come from a lineage of perennial milk drinkers, making food from the milk of other animals, developing a mutation to be able to better metabolize it.

        Most people and most mammals in general do not regularly drink milk from another creature.

        That’s actually weird.

          Yeah, it’s specifically that hard cheese has most of the liquid drained off, and lactose content is reduced further with ageing.

          I just don’t want somebody out there thinking they can’t have good cheese because milk is spicy for them, when the good cheese is actually the least spicy.

      The sharper the better for cheese. Add some fermented food to that salad mix and it makes a great dish. I used kimchi the last time I ate salad w/ cheese. I’m sure some sauerkraut would be dope too.

        I agree with you, but I regret to inform you that if you have any roommates, decent chance they hate you, lol.
