I looked this up. Apparently it has the consistency of fudge, and tastes like caramel, but it’s 100% cheese.

W… T… F…?! 😲

It might be awesome but it sounds terrifying. The Cheese That Should Not Be.

It has been a long time, but I recall it has the consistency of fudge that has been dragged across the landward side of the beach (i.e., slightly gritty) and the color of that thing you scraped off your shoe or that unidentifiable thing that has been at the back of the third shelf of the fridge since Labor Day. I understand it is supposed to be paired with fruit – probably drupes rather than berries.

I almost reported it if it makes you feel any better. I have no idea what BBQ rules are though. I know we have decent folks here who don’t mean any harm (and a few total dipshits!)

I’m a bit worried for the OP, but they’re also really new to the site so it could just as easily be trolling. And yeah, we’ll never know.

What’s so weird about gjetost (don’t answer that!)?

I’ve loved the stuff for years.

On its own it’s a bit soapy, and you need plenty of spit in your mouth before you insert it. But apart from that, it’s fine.

Not going to touch that with a 10-foot pole.

One time I opened the vegetable drawer and found my mom had grown the most awesome mold on a set aside slice of green pepper. It had little brown sporeheads about 2mm in diameter on 2cm-tall white stalks. I have not had a chance to replicate the experiment because green peppers have never not triggered my gag reflex.

Your source is wrong. It’s called cheese and your everyman, at least if Norwegian, might argue it’s cheese, but it’s absolutely debatable whether it’s cheese or not. It’s made in a manner utterly unlike cheese. It’s mainly cream and caramelized lactose, very little casein.

Heck, that’s how I experience it when I’m not stoned. I have two blocks of it right now in my cheese cave. It’s delicious!!
