Cheese
Cheese is by far the most important dairy
product there is, and it's status as such has been recognised by numerous countries.
Everywhere that you find milk producing domesticated animals you find cheese,
in a wide variety od forms. There is cheese from cows, from goats, even dogs.
It is all delicious. Without cheese there would be no pizza. This is enough
justification in its own right, but there is more, much more to cheese than a
mere Italian circular delight. Here are some cheeses and their ratings:
Mozzarella. This stuff is found on all the best pizzas, and as
such should be awarded 10/10. However, it is not as versatile as the
other cheeses around, as it is nothing special when cold. 8/10
Dairylea. N/A. 0/10
Brie. This is gorgeous stuff, but be sure not to cut the best
bits off. If you don't eat the rind it is just another undistinguished
listeria-laden soft cheese, but the combination of preservative and
fungus on the rind gives it the edge over Camembert-alike imposters.
9/10
Danablu. A very tasty blue cheese from Denmark. 8/10
Red Leicester. This one looks nice but is only worth remarking
upon due to its delightful blue colour. Sorry, red colour. 6/10
Stilton. This is a tricky one. One of the few cheeses that must
be made where there name implies, it can be very, very good, or
absolutely dreadful. It is best matured in a cave, wrapped in wet rags,
as opposed to Harrods awful wax coated stuff. Waitrose sell passable
Stilton at 4.35 sterling per pound weight. A rating here is not
appropriate, because it can vary between 0/10 and a sublime 10.
