"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

Got bored today, had fuck-all else to do so I went on the "Null Cheese Pilgrimage". I took pictures and I'd rather not post them here for privacy, but Ill tell what I found and my thoughts on the matter, for whatever that's worth. I am not a cheese connoisseur so forgive my naivety, but here are some of the cheeses I found by name: Romano, Asiago, Chevre, Parmesan, Gorgonzola, Bleu Cheese, Mozzarella, Feta, Goat Cheese, Gruyere, Swiss, and Provolone. These are the primary cheeses I found in the cheese stand at the deli. This was all at a cheese stand in a local Safeway. However, as expected, all of these cheeses were very expensive and is not where most customers, including myself, get our cheese. There is another much more populated cheese section in the back of the store, where there is almost nothing but cheddar being sold. The deli at the local store, as I'm sure many in the states may be familiar with, has a ton of Boar's Head products to include a selection of cheeses.

As for my thoughts: I really don't have a dog in this fight, but I will say what I think on the matter as I am curious on it. I believe this whole cheese argument is a front for a deeper sentiment, as if the cheese is a mine canary for American culture and investment. While there was a good selection of cheeses, many brand names were limited and likely not local. A very large portion of the cheeses fall under the Boar's Head name which, somewhat ironically, is in fact headquartered in Florida from what I can tell. However, this is not indicative, as my locality is unique among the states in terms of culture and industry. That said, not every store has a "cheese stand" section. Most will have a primarily cheddar section, this much is true. Cheese production local to my region is primarily goat milk cheeses.

I figured while on this topic I should expand my cheese repertoire, so I got a smoked gouda block and this Australian sharp cheddar someone mentioned in this thread, it has a crocodile(?) on it. This is very good cheese I can admit, although pricey. Again, likely due to price, most customers will get their cheese from the back of the store, which I also took a deeper look at this section. As expected, it is mostly cheddar. I encourage two things: One, I will be going out again later to some fancier stores so if there is a specific type of cheese I should try, let me know and I will try it. Two, for those with more worldly "cheesy" experiences, especially those foreign to the states (Or if you live near Wisconsin in particular), I'm curious know what you think. Is this a good selection of cheese, if only by name? What are your local favorites, are they produced locally? Should this thread lose its appetite on cheese discussion, feel free to PM me your thoughts. I fear I may make this post too late and may over-cheese the discussion as it is.
 
Gypsy Crusader had a heated argument with a black guy at an airport in Austin, it seems to me the guy tried to get him into trouble.
Gypsy in his usual way called him a "nigger", multiple times:

I went back to the cheese store, err the supermarket, I definitely don't have a bougie cheese store or anything like that :null:. Anyway, I apparently overlooked the fact that the cheese block section is right next to the Mexican cheese block section because they're packaged in different ways so I apologize to the latinx community for my earlier comment on that. Anyway, I was looking for Limburger and Liederkranz since those are apparently the favorite varieties of the cheese aficionado in this thread (whoever that weirdo is), but we didn't have any, but I wanted to try out something exotic anyway so I got some nice hickory smoked extra sharp cheddar and English style sweet cheddar. I haven't tried either yet but thanks @Null for the suggestion.
 
like dragoneer was, he isn't a fan of the babyfur shit either
My understanding was that Dragoneer either didn't care about the "babyfur" furry-child-porn issue or was into it himself. But then he got involved with a woman who detested it and coaxed him into banning it. Incidentally, that woman later went on to openly cuckold him with and get pregnant by a My Little Pony porn artist, but Dragoneer still simped and pined for her for years after they were divorced/separated. She inherited Dragoneer's website when he died.

@Null, have you ever tried casu marzu?

They do this to EVERYONE who leaves the store or just people who act suspicious?
At Costco it's everyone. At other places, at least in my area it depends. If I go to my local Walmart and buy let's say a TV and a bunch of other stuff, they'd check my receipt. If it's just a few items small they never do. I live in a area that is like 98% white though, so I imagine stores check receipts more in higher theft areas

I hate to break it to you, but in America those are all actually varieties of cheddar cheese.
This is probably why nool specified Limburger. Oddly, I haven't ever seen Liederkranz, even though it's actually an American cheese (specifically a New York cheese), an Americanized version of Limburger. My guess is it went out of style because real Limburger is easier to get now.

Also just cheddar. Since milk must be pasteurized in America, even when it is destined to become cheese, anything you make out of it is actually a form of cheddar.

Not actually true. That's only if it's aged fewer than 60 days.

Also look up the recent Amos Miller case involving Amish selling raw milk cheese, featuring as counsel blustering lolcow buffoon Robert Barnes (although he has done a decent job in this case with a fairly recent strategic victory).

Beautiful. He calls a guy, "nigger" and instead of ignoring it or calling him something back and moving on he chimps out as if Voldemort just Avrakedabra'd him. Proving Gypsy right in every way.
Those Puerto Rican kids handled it best. They just cheered it on and made Gypsy's soul leave his body in disbelief for a few seconds.
 
I finished watching the last MATI stream and I also have encountered niggers speaking literal ooga-booga language in the U.S. What’s crazy in my case is that this was a thrift store in central Wisconsin pretty far from the major cities. The area is otherwise completely white apart from an increasing number of Mexicans. Haven’t run into any Indians in that area, so that’s the one saving grace.

The Amish Country brand has Limburger cheese. I always see it as a block or a spread, but I have never tried it.

It may be worth it. They've been disconnected from the culture for a while, but Amish share a similar cheesemaking culture with the Swiss and Alsatians, centuries old, so they'd probably do a good job.

I'd always be suspicious of brand names like "Amish Country" though because they aren't necessarily Amish.
