The Cheese Thread

[Essence Lumin]

I would be unable to prevent myself from visiting and repeatedly pronouncing it "Sest Cheese." "Or is it 'Chest Cheese?'" I might even take a checkbook* so I could completely fumble the spelling a few times.

Yes, I'm that idiot.

Oh, dear. Memories ....

I once produced a commercial session with a voiceover artist who -- uh -- let's say he wasn't hoping for a chemistry set for Christmas. Fantastic voice. No evidence of a brain attached to it.

The first time he pronounced it "whore-dee-doors" produced stifled smiles in the control room. The second produced stifled laughs. The third took us completely out. After the tenth take, I called the client to ask if "appetizers" would be okay. I can't remember what BS I came up with, but I never had to face the question of why I had hired someone who must have seemed like one of the dimmest bulbs on the planet to the client. Or, maybe they were used to talent.

It's going on 50 years, and I still can't see hors d'oeuvres without hearing "whore-dee-doors."

Be careful what you wish for or you could get what I have near me: a cutesy-named shop called C'est Cheese.

Wife kicks man under table: It's pronounced "keesh!"

I'm the Idiot who might say, "Shouldn't it be C'est fromage"? Or "failing to pronounce the "est" is Vulgar, Gaul!"

Google remakes Super Bowl ad after AI cheese gaffe

Its Gemini tool wildly overestimated global gouda consumption in ad that was meant to show off its capabilities.

www.bbc.co.uk

Not sure if this belongs here or in the AI forum.

 

[Khamon]

Cheese belongs everywhere, along with mustard, and olives.

 

[Isabeau]

I love Gouda but I Googled
What percentage of gooda cheese in world cheese consumption

and was the top answers

Google Search

www.google.com

but yeah, that can’t be right.

I asked "what is the world's most popular cheese?" and was told

Cheddar and mozzarella are both considered to be the world's most popular cheeses.

I asked "what is the world's most popular cheese?" and was told

It's added one:

Some of the most popular cheeses in the world include cheddar, mozzarella, and feta.

Apparently, people in the Hellenistic world were miffed.

It's now changed its mind. My link now tells me that

Cheddar is considered the world's most popular cheese. It's firm and has a sharp taste that intensifies with age.
Explanation
Cheddar is the most studied cheese in scientific publications.
It's the second most popular cheese in the United States, after mozzarella.
Wisconsin is the leading producer of cheddar in the United States.
The name comes from the English village of Cheddar in Somerset.

 

[Veritable Quandry]

THE TILLAMOOK VALLEY IS THE LEADING PRODUCER OF CHEDDAR IN THE UNITED STATES. Wisconsin may make more cheese that they call "cheddar" but it is a pale imitation.

Soon to be replaced by the ubiquitous and always appropriate "goat cheese."

I dunno. Are goats a big consumer of cheese?

Is not! Some actual deli-sliced American is way better for a grilled cheese or to top a burger than any other kind unless you're doing a very specific thing like mushroom and Swiss. It's basically like Emmental, but a bit sharper and semi-soft. Stop thinking American cheese only comes in plastic wrappers!

It's a cheese product. Even in America it can't legally be called cheese (yet).

A good grilled cheese uses cheddar or gouda, depending on the bread. Most cheeseburgers get a slice of sharp cheddar, unless it calls for something different as you said.
