Why is cottage cheese the only cheese defined by some relationship to a building?
Why is cottage cheese the only cheese defined by some relationship to a building?
Where is the cabin cheese? The fourth-floor-walkup cheese? Give me the fancy mansion cheese. Or skyscraper cheese, ooh la la.
Leave the bathhouse cheese alone, though
You're viewing a single thread.
What makes you think it's the building naming the cheese and not the cheese naming the building? Why can't we live in roqueforts, in masdaams, in cheddars?
I live in The Tower of BabyBelon
😌👌
Bad news about the tower, guys... :-/
Wake me up when they hit the 2nd Tower
This may be premature but I'm pretty sure it's coming soon if you wanna start waking up
I was going to joke that Id prefer to live in a Jarlsberg, but when looking up Jarlsberg to spell it correctly I discovered its named for Jarlsberg Manor, which is (and this is true) a building
The more you know
Roquefort-sur-Soulzon would have taken its name from a fortress, too, so that counts.
You can live in Cheddar. Nice town, good hiking opportunities.
Or Gouda. For extra fun while you're there, pronounce Gouda the way it's typically said in English and watch the Dutchies flinch as little parts of their soul leave their bodies.
if you do it you legally have to buy one cheese wheel at the cheese auction there
Goo-da is almost a pokémon
Wait, how is it supposed to be pronounced?
GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.
We actually call it ‘Goudse kaas’, though. ‘Gouda’ is just the city of Gouda.
I wasn't going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.
It works the same in English, though, just with the suffix ‘-ish’ (and a number of other suffixes) instead of Dutch ‘-se’. You could literally translate ‘Goudse kaas’ as ‘Goudish cheese’, Gouda just never gets the ‘-ish’ suffix (or any suffix at all, really) in English.

Here is how the Dutch say Gouda, with Van Gogh thrown in as a bonus.
phew. that's enough aggression for one day
But not in a cheddar!
Named after the process.
Cheddar is a village in southern England
...and Maasdam is in the NetherlandsEuropean cheese villages, unite!
I think it would be easier to list the French cheeses that are NOT named after a place.
Maasdam and Gouda (among others) are towns.
But not buildings!
You know how we say that Mushrooms are the largest organisms on earth, because the Mycelium is interconnecting all through the forest and we only see the fruiting bodies?
Well, most reasonably modern towns have all their buildings connected by the fresh water and sewage pipes and possibly gas-pipes. I'll exclude electricity, because the cables don't really have a volume they enclose.
So you could argue that most towns in Europe are indeed a building.
Nice. Is there an europe cheese? ( Not "European", but "europe")
