It's funny how as soon as I read to Netherlands, my brain back-tracked to correct me on the pronunciation. If anyone else is ever in the Netherlands and has a chance, due the tour in Gouda, it's delightful and you get to try a bunch of gouda cheese!

It's Ghowda right? The gh like in argh and the ow in brown.

Say it. Say "chowda"

I spent a couple of months in Switzerland for a project and supermarkets there often have this booth that me and my friends referred to as the "Kingdom of Cheese". The Kingdom of Cheese is a climate-controlled enclave with just cheese - the person there is happy to help you decide because they know you'll be back eventually as indeed the products there have those crystals.

A hotdog is a sandwich?

No, a quesadilla in enchilada sauce is not different from an enchilada in any way, form factor or otherwise. A cheese enchilada is a fried tortilla filled with cheese and coated in enchilada sauce. By the time you've added enchilada sauce to a quesadilla, you've already completed the process of making an enchilada.

There is a podcast dedicated to such food related pedantry called "A Hotdog is a Sandwich." Pretty entertaining.

Would you really call it pedantry to object to someone saying "for an even better cheese pizza, try sprinkling pepperoni over the top"?

As a pedant myself, I would say yes!

I’ve eaten brie weeks after sell by date. It just turns into a firmer cheese by then no striking difference in taste really.

> It just turns into a firmer cheese by then Really? I thought it was the other way around, starting relatively firm and liquefying as it rots.

Maybe by the end. It turned into more of a gouda texture; more effort to cut vs how soft brie starts off. Maybe it was drying out.
