Well, there’s always Head Cheese.
Is this just a Southern Thang?
I don’t think it’s fermented/aged, cause that would be really nasty.
yak cheese is a staple for millions of tibetans. it’s generally dried into small pellets - maybe the size of a marble. this cheese can be stored for several years in tbet’s dry climate without refridgeration. to eat, it’s generally soaked in tea or soup and is pretty tough. strong taste too.
less common is more of a brie type cheese from yak milk. it doesn’t store for so long. it’s really tasty.
i’ve also had goat cheese in tibet that was literally devine. well, it was yummy and made by buddhist monks
First, that sunken cheese has gone missing and the company has given up looking for it.
Second, I seem to recall hearing that baby whales don’t have to suck their milk; mom squirts a mouthful as soon as the baby latches on. That would make them easier to milk. (Maybe you could learn that trick, WhyNot, and get rid of the pump. )
Hey, if you can come teach my breasts to squirt, you’re welcome. How’s Sunday at 8:00? Unfortunately, preemie baby + early bottlefeeding in the hospital + really freakishly huge nipples + not very forceful milk stream (more like dribbles) mean that breastfeeding is not an option for us. We’ve tried and the lactation consultant’s tried and we end up with a hungry baby and sore boobs. Uh… My boobs sore. Not the lactation consultant’s.
Someone once told me that whale milk is so rich that it oozes out the nipples like toothpaste. Urban legend?
Oxen are male cattle…
A Tibetan wouldn’t actually eat yak cheese: in Tibetan, “yak” is the word for the male of the species only – we’d have to call it dri or nak cheese.
