Where is the cabin cheese? The fourth-floor-walkup cheese? Give me the fancy mansion cheese. Or skyscraper cheese, ooh la la.

Leave the bathhouse cheese alone, though

    What makes you think it's the building naming the cheese and not the cheese naming the building? Why can't we live in roqueforts, in masdaams, in cheddars?

    Or Gouda. For extra fun while you're there, pronounce Gouda the way it's typically said in English and watch the Dutchies flinch as little parts of their soul leave their bodies.

    Wait, how is it supposed to be pronounced?

    GHOW-da is about the closest English approximation. The G sound is quite different in Dutch though.

    We actually call it ‘Goudse kaas’, though. ‘Gouda’ is just the city of Gouda.

    I wasn't going to get into how we form possessives; it will confuse and scare them.

    It works the same in English, though, just with the suffix ‘-ish’ (and a number of other suffixes) instead of Dutch ‘-se’. You could literally translate ‘Goudse kaas’ as ‘Goudish cheese’, Gouda just never gets the ‘-ish’ suffix (or any suffix at all, really) in English.

    There's another: Höhlenkäse (= Cave Cheese)

    Isn't that cheddar? Or whatever the european continent version is? The name of the cheese changes depending on whether they cover the cheese with cheesecloth, burlap, plastic/wax, or bared before leaving it in a cave? https://culturecheesemag.com/recipes/diy/age-appropriate-make-cheese-cave/ or https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2337837/The-cheese-cave-Damp-conditions-Welsh-countryside-ideal-place-store-maturing-cheddars.html

    If I remember correctly, most of the modern aging processes try to mimic natural caves, since we just don't have enough of the real thing to age all of our cheese.

    There once was a surgeon named Keith, who circumcised men with his teeth. It was not for leisure, or sexual pleasure, but to get to the cheese underneath.

    “I like cottage cheese. That is why I want to try other dwelling cheeses, too. How about studio apartment cheese? Mobile home cheese?"

    I presume you can use a lot of brick cheese to make a cottage cheese

    All cheese is made by bacteria who live there, so it's pretty much a building to them!

    So I hereby define every cheese by relationship to a building.

    Cottage cheese made in a cottage

    Toe cheese ...

  • Most other cheeses are named after regions that had the specific cultures, climate conditions, and artisinal practices necessary to produce that particular cheese. Cottage cheese is just sorta the base cheese that any old peasant can make in their cottage.
