Too… much? That’s a thing? You’re yanking my chain. As a Dutchman, cheese is my religion. We eat about 22 kilos per capita here, US is about 18. And seeing the overall state of the US, I can only assume low cheese levels are to blame.
Can I offer you a nice block of Gouda in these trying times?
I love French cheese. You can buy a lot of them here in Dutch supermarkets. Personally, I really like a nice soft brie. That’s considered a ‘snack cheese’, usually enjoyed on a small cracker. Also really nice in a baguette with some tomatoes, cucumber, sliced cheese….
Guess I’ll add some to our shopping list this week; might as well stimulate that EU economy in these trying times. Cheese certainly does make me smile :D
I used to eat massive amounts of cheese daily, way above average even though I’m lactose intolerant. It literally put me in the hospital. For years I had said i could give up meat but I could never give up cheese. Something died in my soul when I made the decision to give up cheeses with lactose. But I still eat my share of Gouda :)
Lots of mozzarella, and soft Mexican cheeses and things popular in the US like pepper jack. I’m sticking with hard and well-aged cheeses now. Cheese wasn’t the only part of my diet that put me in the hospital. I started by cutting everything that could possibly be a problem. I’ve been testing putting some things back in. Fortunately I can still eat hot pepper sauces as long as I don’t go crazy. I love me some spicy food!
Lactose intolerance is very rare here in the Netherlands, as you can imagine. I always feel bad for people who have it, since milk and cheese are pretty fundamental to the Dutch diet.
I’m with you on giving up meat vs. cheese. I’ve gone days without meat, and could probably go vegetarian if I needed to. But vegan? Absolutely not. Cheese pizza is life. I’d sooner kill myself than give up cheese. It’s not happening.

How do you know when someone abuses animals? Don’t worry, they never stop telling you.

hey good news, there’s basically no lactose in most cheeses. what kinda cheese were you eating where lactose became an issue?
