Ken From Hyde Park:
I spent a week in Switzerland about 17 years ago. I rented a bike from a train station and rode from Chur up to Arosa and then coasted back down the mountain on a chilly Easter Sunday morning. Took me an hour or more to get warmed up again.

That's funny you say that, I started craving cheese while listening to the broadcast!

What, no pictures on a radio show?
10:12am

I just checked out the photos of the open broadcast studios, the walls are painted the colors of gelato. I love that European sense of style.

Wendy del Formaggio:
Bbell, no surprise there! Ken *IS* broadcasting from Switzerland, home to a great number of delicious cheeses! :-)
10:13am

I know, I know, it's not REALLY a radio show without pictures, but I'm jetlagged beyond belief and I just couldnt get it together. my apologies. next week, it'll be a REAL Radio show.

Switzerland are looking reasonably composed against a continuous attacking barrage from the Spanish Armada. The score is 0-0 as I comment.

Cecile:
We were at a farmer's marker and stopped by a goat cheese booth. Now in WI and MN you can't sell fresh cheese with raw milk for domestic animal or human consumption until it's been aged 60 days. So the guy was marketing it as "fish bait!"
It was yummy but I went with the 5-year old cave-aged stuff. You can only eat a few shreds at a time, but it's amazing.
10:22am
bbell:
Better together, ümlauts and cheese! (if you have a mac, hit option and u together, then let go and type your letter that will go under the ümlaut.)
10:25am
Wendy del Formaggio:
Cecile, it's not just a WI and MN law, it's an FDA thing. Phooey to that, I say! Anyway, that's a funny idea from the goat cheese guy :-)
5-year cave-aged goat cheese?!? What's the name of the farm/cheesemaker. Do you know?
10:25am
Wendy del Formaggio:
Bbell, I have a PC, so no umlauts for me :-(

not off the top of my head, but I'll be going back. I might be able to find it by looking at the Farmer's Market page, too!
10:28am
fishmonkeystew:
Welcome back, Ken!
10:30am
Wendy del Formaggio:
Bad Ronald, that's right! You tell her! Stilton does get too old, but at which point is in the eye -- or mouth -- of the beholder :-)
10:31am
Bad Ronald:
Amen!
10:32am
Cecile:
Agh, website is being silly.
Yes, it's amazing cheese - flinty and spicy and minerally with no cream taste at all. Very complex and you only need a couple of shreds to get great flavor. It's good on pasta, or mix in a little to your cheese mix for pizza.
10:33am
bbell:
@Cecile, what's the name of that cheese, I must find some!
10:33am

I wasn't quiet, the mike was lame. Ken was a gracious radio host in someone else's home. Wiped my bike out on the way home (hit some wet trolley tracks) but remained injured. I enjoyed being part of the Wednesday experience.
12:38pm
Goyim in the AM (Colin):
remained uninjured, I meant to say. Perhaps I have brain damage.
