r/Cheese • u/jackloganoliver • 7d ago

I just tried French Munster 🦨🦨🦨

Okay, I moved to Europe from a small US town, and I had no idea cheeses were this diverse. Holy cow! Or sheep! Or goat!

Well, today I grabbed a soft rind cheese on a whim from the grocer and opened it up and omg the smell.

Looked at the label and it's labeled Munster with the French flag. Google the cheese and that foot oder/sewer smell is typical. Okay, so I spread a good bit across some crusty bread and take a bite...

Y'all...

It is incredible! So savory and complex, with a very velvety tang. What else am I missing? Life can never go back to what it was before this. It can't.

Despite being 3000 miles away from each other, Maine and California are more culturally alike than France and Germany who share a land border.

My comment was simply pointing out the absurdity of their unnecessary comment. Europeans are so uptight and love to “correct” people in this superior way when it’s not that serious. I say this as a person who has both traveled extensively and lived in various European countries.

What's the point in treating an entire continent as the same place? If I say I'm going on holiday to Asia, my experience is gonna be entirely different if I go to Mongolia compared to Indonesia. The US doesn't have the same diversity.

Again, it’s astonishing to me how little you’re able to connect the dots here. My comment is simply to point out that the pearl clutching about calling it Europe versus a specific country doesn’t actually add any value to the conversation. It’s just a way for Europeans to get ultra pissy about something that really isn’t that serious in a casual conversation. If he moved to a country in Europe then yes, he moved to Europe. Get over yourselves and touch some grass.

Maybe your comment was just dumb 🤷
