I don’t think I’ve made a post on here about food, so here goes! 😃
I’ll go first…I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I’ve had ever since I’ve had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven’t damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!
There is a cheese in my country- olomoucké tvarůžky, which is in itself acquired taste.
But I made “Loštický zázrak” which is this cheese pickled in beer, as a homebrewer I used half fermented beer. So smelly cheese fermented with beer.
You can smell this concoction in whole house when the jar was opened, but the taste was amazing.
Reminds me of Spanish ‘Manchego’ cheese. It’s a semi hard gourmet cheese in most commercial places and it has a slight strong flavour. During a holiday once in the south of Spain, we went searching for authentic Manchego cheese in the Sierra mountains of Andalusia. The cheese we found was a very strongly flavoured hard cheese that was the consistency and taste of hot weathered plastic. Strangely enough, combined with strong Spanish onion slices and it was delicious … and then mixing it again with strong Chorizo sausage, specifically the ones they make in the mountains which taste like well worn and sweated gym socks and it was a whole other thing to get accustomed to.
Manchego is delicious, but it doesn’t usually have a plasticky texture. That one must have been aged for a really long time.
