Cheese fact #1 is dependent upon the type of cheese being produced. When I first heard 10x I was surprised -- because I usually of it in differing measurements. 1 gallon of milk makes 1# of hard cheese. But after googling the weight of said milk, it does turn out to be 8.6x the end product. For soft cheeses, it's more like 4x as much milk as the amount of cheese you get at the end. 1 gallon yields closer to 2#. (I do apologize for the imperial measurements, however I don't have time to convert them all just now.) Source: have been making homemade cheese for 2+ years.
I made mozzarella at home once, and the huge amount of milk I used turned into one relatively large ball such as I might have bought in Aldi 😁 I was initially concerned I might have followed the instructions incorrectly but it tasted right, so I assumed I was OK!
Also the type of milk you're using! Sheep and water buffalo have higher fat percentages in their milk, so you can use less milk to make cheese (but sheep are very low producers, and have shorter production windows than cows, so you need more. Much more). Source: am Fromagere who just studied for her CCP (Certified Cheese Professional- an American Cheese Society designation) exam.
@@Valdagast NP. The fact we still remember that line shows what an impression it made. The same page I saw said to get a hair and pin of said woman "unperceived". Yeah, trying that is a good way to get half the face very red... Maybe if I dangle the cheese in front of her first and strike, we'll pull, while she's fascinated...
We had a bookshelf just collapse - hadn't been touched for weeks, but it just decided it was done bookshelfing. I was once sitting at the table with my parents playing a board game and my glasses broke. The part holding the lens in snapped and the lens fell out. Wasn't touching the glasses or moving my face. My mom said she wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it. Entropy is a cruel mistress and she sometimes will come for you when you least expect it to keep you on your toes.
All I'm saying is, someone had better bring a block of cheese to either of the two events. Actually, maybe not there could be some awkward explaining to do. Waterstone's staff: 'Why does everyone have a block of cheese?' Jill: 'Well, it's like this...' Several hours later Jill has to borrow a trolley to cart said cheese back to her car. She now has so much cheese she can't even get in herself.
Oddly, The Great Race never did much for me. but I have soooo many copies of Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. It is very interesting to see what very similarly toned works will hit differently for some people. Well, me. :D
Oooooooh! I think you're the first channel of ANY stripe to have a go at The Great Race It's such a huge fav of mine :) There's actually a couple sword fights in there, a huge bar room brawl, and the worlds largest pie fight
Cheese fact: around the end of the 1800s, cheddar was canada's second largest exported product. In 1904 we reportedly exported 106 million kilos (243m pounds). In 2023 we exported roughly half that amount.
So, are fewer people around the world eating cheddar, more people around the world MAKING cheddar, or are the Canadians simply eating up all your own cheddar instead of exporting it? I need more details - inquiring minds want to know! 😂
@cmm5542 Well, it's probably a combination of lots of things. The increase in cheese production initially started due to an influx of grain pests, causing farmers to move to livestock and produce more dairy products. So after a good few years past the crop issues, a whole world war, greater world-wide connectivity, and the rise of Kraft, it seems likely that it just wasn't necessary, and production slowly declined. Although, there's apparently no direct correlation between the rise of kraft and decline in cheddar. Tangentially related cheese fact: Canadians are the primary consumer of Kraft Mac n Cheese.
The ageless 'anyway, here's Wonderwall' running gag is peak humor to me. 🏆 I died cackling at you not only name-dropping it but fulfilling the prophecy. Brava, please feel free (or even beseeched) to repeat this gag again periodically.
Did you check the hatch in the floor after the keyboard fell? 🤔 "The Great Race" is one of my favorite movies. The running gag between Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk is wonderful. 🤣I grew up watching it multiple times on TV. We had a hard bound book of reproduced magazine articles with the magazine's take on the movie and an article about the historical race the movie was based on. It included a simple board game with the race as the theme. I want to say it was a Reader's Digest compendium or some similar magazine from the 1960s.
Loved the combo of Jill/Cheese facts. I need a whole episode on cheese facts, please, because those nibbles were just an entrée to a main. I love goats cheese on pizza
Yes, the Great Race! Looking forward to it! Gonna jump up and down to make the Earth rotate faster so we don’t have to wait too long! Have a nice holiday!
Old people response number two: ( i have seen this credited to Gellett Burgess, who gave us "The Purple Cow.") I wish that my room had a floor/ I don't care so much for a door/ but this walking around/ without touching the ground/ is getting to be quite a bore
Ah, "The Great Race". Perhaps best known for having the Largest Pie Fight In the History of Cinema (TM), it was also the inspiration for the extremely popular Hanna-Barbera cartoon "Wacky Races". Also very highly recommended is "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines", which many consider to be a successor film to "The Great Race" (and was also the inspiration for Wacky Races spin-off series "Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines).
My cheese fact of the day, the packaging for today's lunch said "camembert pays" which was a relief because to be frank the crime thing wasn't working out as well as I had hoped.
Fun Cheese Fact: In 2013 a truck filled with Brunost (Caramalised Goat cheese) caught fire in a tunnel in Norway. Brunost contains a lot of fat and sugar; and is quite flammable. The tunnel was significantly damaged and closed for 2 months.
Yes, cheese please! I'm sorry about your keyboard. Sometimes things just decide it's time and ...fall. Years ago we had all the Smurf glasses and one by one, sometimes right in front of our eyes, they'd just swan dive out of the cabinet and shatter.
YES! WE'RE DOING THE GREAT RACE'S REFERENCE TO THE PRISONER OF ZENDA, OR AT LEAST THE SWORDFIGHT THEREIN! It's also just generally a very silly movie and I love it.
2:24 :O wall people... they usually come out and gather together at night, and like the florentine camerata they discuss values, tastes and art... that may have resulted to them breaking the keys... or there was a disbalance or a little draft that caused the keyboard to fall
I think the reason things turned out this way is that as celebrated as they are in our culture, both swords and cheese are so incredibly awesome that they are still under appreciated so saying how great they are is almost childishly fun, and only a lactose intolerant monster would come out against cheese 😆
Cheese makes most things better. Luckily there are a lot of different kind of cheese. You could possibly make a video with sword fights from different countrys in conjuncture with national cheses. I'm looking forward to it!😃
Hope you have a great rest of the summer season, you don't have any issues from the Con and your vacation is lovely. Thanks for the update and the sound wasn't that odd. then again I'm on my laptop with cheap charity shop speakers so i can't say much. I wish I wasn't across the ocean and across the US from where your book event will be but that's just life.
The Great Race is one of my favorite comedies, I'm excited! My mom hates that it ends up with a duel somehow despite the premise, but I love it and that pie fight so much!
Jill, I've been following your channel since you started. Your first ever video popped up on my feed when you made it and I subscribed immediately because I'm a combat nerd (esp in scifi). I never expected you to make a video about Cheese but you know what? I'm ok with it. Keep going, you crazy gal!
Swords & Cheese is an amazing name for a restaurant, and I'm gonner oppen it. There will be different cheeses with all dishes (in it or on the side) and insted of knives, peopel whoud get tiny swords to cut with.
I live in Philadelphia. Today I took a train trip to Washington DC to watch a baseball game. Washington was playing the team from Kansas City. We were wearing our proper Washington logo gear. In front of us were several rows of folks from Kansas City wearing their team's blue jerseys and hats. I took a book to read on the train. I was telling my buddy about the book, saying "Its written by a smart English woman stage combat RU-vidr. Its novel set in a fantasy world like Tolkien, but its a 'romance novel' that usually have a bodice ripping super handsome man on the cover. Except that the character in the romance and the author are arguing throughout the book".... and the guy from Kansas City turns around and says to me "I know that book and that author". So I pulled Just Kill Me Now out of my backpack and he went "YES, and she is smart"
You only eat cheese once a day? With me. It depends on how many crackers are within reach at the moment. Then, of course, the need for the corresponding slices of cheese.
@@ErnestLordGoring Hello my friend! Odd thing...the last time(?) I replied to a comment of yours, it seemed to bounce down and show up as a reply to the comment below yours. Naturally, I thought I had hit the wrong reply button. Same thing happened three more times. And now my own comment on this video failed to show up. Perhaps there is a new "Not Funny Enough" algorithm RU-vid is testing.
We have a wall clock, and about a week after I changed its battery, it fell off its hook, breaking the plastic(?) face. The upside of this was that my daughter's boyfriend at that time saw it happen, and we didn't see him at our house for over 2 weeks. The clock still works, by the way.
