That’s 100% “cheesy,” all right.
If you ever do a “Folk Tales” edition, don’t forget “Monterey Jack and the Beanstalk”!

Asiago, 😆! (Is that the one that tastes like licorice and surely should’ve been banned by God?)

If there were only two cities in the Emmental 😁
I am sitting at work – just 30 minutes away from Burgdorf, the beginning of the Emmental.

‘Roquefort Whom the Bell Tolls’ and ‘Camembert Called Paddington’ both deserve mentions too, along with ‘Valley of the Dolcelatte’.

Edam has been treated dramatically and humorously in a variety of cultural art forms. In the novel, All Quiet on the Western Front, the main character believes its red outer covering is a sign of impending death. It is a wine aroma nuance in the wine film Sideways and an object of desire in the animated film Shopper 13. Edam is a seriocomic pivot point in the Australian film Three Dollars.
Edam was tested by MythBusters in episode 128 for its putative suitability as cannon ammunition against a ship’s sail, but it bounced off the sail without damaging it.
In Season 2 episode 24 of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Colin Mochrie playing “Cheese Man” claims he doesn’t “give edam”, a cheese pun. Drew Carey then describes it as “crossword puzzle cheese”. (“Dutch cheese that’s made backwards” is a well known clue for Edam in cryptic crosswords.)

Considered a semi-hard cheese, Colby is softer, moister, and milder than cheddar.
Good with rye bread, apples and pears. Great as a grilled cheese on sourdough bread using aioli instead of butter.
