To be fair, that's probably more to do with your feet....

Because smelly feet are caused by the same (or quite similar) bacteria that make cheese tasty.
And to think people have the audacity to chastise me for having a foot fetish :confused:

"To make Swiss cheese, the cultures of the bacteria S. thermophilus, Lactobacillus and P. shermani are mixed with cow’s milk. The bacteria helps produce curds, which are pressed and soaked in brine inside of cheese molds. The cheese is then stored at 72 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and left to ripen. It’s at this point when the bacteria really does its work. While it’s working, it releases lactic acid and one of those bacteria, a gassy one, consumes it.
That bacteria, more specifically P. shermani, releases carbon dioxide when it consumes the lactic acid and forms bubbles. The bubbles don’t just disappear, they form little air pockets, resulting in the holes of the Swiss cheese. The size of the holes can be controlled by cheese makers through the acidity, temperature and maturing time, which is why it’s possible to have a baby Swiss and regular Swiss option."
Learned something today :o

I must have been having a 'hypo' at the time but for hours I was fuming that I was paying for holes. Just could not think straight and spoilt my whole evening.

holey cheese, why? is it a personal preference? or a perception that everyone thinks they are nasty? surely they wouldn't stock them in the shops if no one bought 'em.
