🧀Cheese Facts🧀 (& Other, Less Exciting Things)

[@AbigailPoirier]

Cheese fact #1 is dependent upon the type of cheese being produced. When I first heard 10x I was surprised -- because I usually of it in differing measurements. 1 gallon of milk makes 1# of hard cheese. But after googling the weight of said milk, it does turn out to be 8.6x the end product. For soft cheeses, it's more like 4x as much milk as the amount of cheese you get at the end. 1 gallon yields closer to 2#. (I do apologize for the imperial measurements, however I don't have time to convert them all just now.) Source: have been making homemade cheese for 2+ years.

[@JillBearup]

I made mozzarella at home once, and the huge amount of milk I used turned into one relatively large ball such as I might have bought in Aldi 😁 I was initially concerned I might have followed the instructions incorrectly but it tasted right, so I assumed I was OK!

[@kristenamaezing]

Also the type of milk you're using! Sheep and water buffalo have higher fat percentages in their milk, so you can use less milk to make cheese (but sheep are very low producers, and have shorter production windows than cows, so you need more. Much more). Source: am Fromagere who just studied for her CCP (Certified Cheese Professional- an American Cheese Society designation) exam.

[@Navigatortrue]

Maybe your cat got a friend to knock the keyboard off the sofa for some cheese.

[@seriousmaran9414]

​@JillBearup as well as all the other milks you use you could always milk the jokes... 😊

[@QALibrary]

Are you using the American gallon or the imperial gallon because both are totally different sizes - ie 3.78541 litres vs 4.54609 litres

We had a bookshelf just collapse - hadn't been touched for weeks, but it just decided it was done bookshelfing. I was once sitting at the table with my parents playing a board game and my glasses broke. The part holding the lens in snapped and the lens fell out. Wasn't touching the glasses or moving my face. My mom said she wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it. Entropy is a cruel mistress and she sometimes will come for you when you least expect it to keep you on your toes.

All I'm saying is, someone had better bring a block of cheese to either of the two events. Actually, maybe not there could be some awkward explaining to do. Waterstone's staff: 'Why does everyone have a block of cheese?' Jill: 'Well, it's like this...' Several hours later Jill has to borrow a trolley to cart said cheese back to her car. She now has so much cheese she can't even get in herself.

Cheese fact: around the end of the 1800s, cheddar was canada's second largest exported product. In 1904 we reportedly exported 106 million kilos (243m pounds). In 2023 we exported roughly half that amount.

[@cmm5542]

So, are fewer people around the world eating cheddar, more people around the world MAKING cheddar, or are the Canadians simply eating up all your own cheddar instead of exporting it? I need more details - inquiring minds want to know! 😂

[@PhoenicopterusR]

@cmm5542 Well, it's probably a combination of lots of things. The increase in cheese production initially started due to an influx of grain pests, causing farmers to move to livestock and produce more dairy products. So after a good few years past the crop issues, a whole world war, greater world-wide connectivity, and the rise of Kraft, it seems likely that it just wasn't necessary, and production slowly declined. Although, there's apparently no direct correlation between the rise of kraft and decline in cheddar. Tangentially related cheese fact: Canadians are the primary consumer of Kraft Mac n Cheese.

[@cmm5542]

​@@PhoenicopterusRYou have at least temporarily satisfied one inquiring mind! 😆 This was all very interesting!

Did you check the hatch in the floor after the keyboard fell? 🤔 "The Great Race" is one of my favorite movies. The running gag between Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk is wonderful. 🤣I grew up watching it multiple times on TV. We had a hard bound book of reproduced magazine articles with the magazine's take on the movie and an article about the historical race the movie was based on. It included a simple board game with the race as the theme. I want to say it was a Reader's Digest compendium or some similar magazine from the 1960s.

Ah, "The Great Race". Perhaps best known for having the Largest Pie Fight In the History of Cinema (TM), it was also the inspiration for the extremely popular Hanna-Barbera cartoon "Wacky Races". Also very highly recommended is "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines", which many consider to be a successor film to "The Great Race" (and was also the inspiration for Wacky Races spin-off series "Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines).
