It is time for Stilton. 7 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: Oh, that sounded very threatening. 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 2: All your time has come just officious, just you know, okay, 9 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: it is. The meeting has come around to Stilton. 10 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: As we were discussing before this, there there have been 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: a lot of meetings, a lot of officiousness about Stilton, 12 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: if you will allow. So it's gonna be fun. I 13 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: know I've had Stilton, but I don't particularly have a 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: strong memory associated with it. 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 2: I I don't specifically remember the last time I had it, 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: but I know that I have and I know that 18 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: I've liked it. But I like a nice, funky blue cheese, 19 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: so generally speaking. 20 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 21 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: And I'm like the first to put like, if I'm 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: making a cheeseplate, I will certainly have something that's going 23 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: to be off putting to some of the people I'm 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 2: serving it too on there because I'm like why don't 25 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: you try it? I'm all stink up this whole room. 26 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: Let's go. It feels very appropriate to your personality. I 27 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: like it. You're like challenging people. Yeah, yeah, like, yeah, 28 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: go try it. A little bit of chaos, throw. 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 2: On it, tiny bit of chaos. Yeah, got some chaos 30 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: on your cheese, you do. Although I in doing this reading, 31 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: I learned that that people have historically like put little 32 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: domes over particularly smelly cheeses in service situations, and I 33 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: think that that's great. I would love to have a 34 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: little dome for my specifically stinky cheese. 35 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: That's pretty cute. 36 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen that me neither. 37 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. It also gives like 38 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: a vibe of this cheese is a little dangerous. 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 3: Yeah right, I like that. 40 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, you can see our past cheese episodes. We 41 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: do love a good cheese episode around here, so we 42 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: have we have quite a backlog to look into. I 43 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: guess yogurt's always a good one. 44 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: This conversation absolutely a cheddar, perhaps especially for more English cheesery. 45 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: English cheesery, Well, speaking of, I guess that breaks us 46 00:02:52,120 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: to our question. Yeah, Stilton, what is it? 47 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: Well, Stilton is a small category of cow milk cheeses 48 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: that are soft and tender all the way through, with 49 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: a slightly thicker, like more toothsome outer coat. They're white 50 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: in color white to off white, and the most famous 51 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: of them are shot through with these like earthy blue 52 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: green veins. They're aged a relatively short period. 53 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: Of time, just a few months. 54 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: Depending on the type, the younger ones will retain some 55 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: like acidic brightness and a little bit of flakiness. The 56 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: older ones go a little yellowed in color and will 57 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: be creamier, crumblier, and taste a little bit more mellow, 58 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 2: though the ones with the veins do have a decided 59 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: like sharp, dusty funkiness to them. They are perhaps most 60 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: often eaten on their own, you know, with like bread 61 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: fruit wine pairings, as part of a cheese plate, but 62 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: they can also be spread on a sandwich or crumbled 63 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: into salads or on top of warm dishes, or used 64 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: to make sauces or dips. It's it's an interesting cheese 65 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: because it is so soft and creamy on the palette, 66 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: but like the strength of that dusty sharp flavor is 67 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: very shoulder squaring, like this is a cheese that encourages 68 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: good pasture. M It's like it's like going into your 69 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: basement and encountering a very proper ghost. You know, you're 70 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: not scared, You're just a little bit intimidated that maybe 71 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: you're wearing the wrong waistcoat for the occasion. 72 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: Oh I'm intimidated by that all the time, my waistcoat. 73 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: Joy I do love that though. Yeah, I get you. 74 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: It's like a it's just a certain I gotta straighten 75 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: my back, yeah for this one, A little bit bracing. Yeah. 76 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 2: So there are three ish types of stilton cheese, white blue, 77 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: and mature and or vintage blue. The white is made 78 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: without veins, the blues are made with veins, and the 79 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: mature slash vintage blue varieties are aged a bit longer 80 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 2: than either of those. The veins are composed of friendly 81 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 2: mold that the cheesemaker has encouraged to grow throughout the cheese. 82 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: Because humans get up to all kinds of things. Yeah, yep, 83 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: we sure do. 84 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: Yep. Okay. 85 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: So cheese is a method of preserving milk by getting 86 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: a bunch of the water out and condensing that the 87 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: fats and proteins and other nutritious stuff that's in it. 88 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 2: In the case of stilton. You do this by combining 89 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: your milk with some things that will help the fats 90 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: and stuff coagulate, thus separating out from the water and stuff. 91 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: That's done using a friendly lactic acid, bacteria, and an 92 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: enzyme called rennet. And at the same time, if you're 93 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: making a blue variety, you're going to add another type 94 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: of microbe. It's going to be important later, a type 95 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: of molds, four of the species Penicillium rockeforte. All Right, 96 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: after the curds the fats and stuff sort of solidify, 97 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: you can start draining the water and stuff, and then 98 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: you place You do not press. You place the curds 99 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: into these big cylindrical hoops, letting them rest to drain more, 100 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: and turning them every few days to distribute the remaining 101 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: moisture pretty evenly throughout. Once the cylinders are solid enough, 102 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: you remove the hoops and scrape down the sides of 103 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: the cheeses to seal off the tiny airways between the 104 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: curds on that outer edge to prevent mold from having 105 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 2: access to oxygen and therefore from growing inside of the cheese. 106 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: Yet in the case of those blue varieties, okay, here's 107 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 2: where our first divide happens. So if you're going for 108 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 2: that white stilton, which by the way, I've never encountered, 109 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: did not know it existed, super curious about it. Now, 110 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 2: if you're going for white, you set the wheel aside 111 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: for finishing, you know, grading, packaging, and sale. I understand 112 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: that it tastes a little cleaner and has this almost 113 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: like flaky sort of texture. But if you're going for blue, 114 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: then you place the cheese in a climate controlled area 115 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: for ripening for like about five weeks or so. At 116 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: that point, your cheese's texture will have been developing nicely 117 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: into something a little bit more right creamy crumbly, but 118 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: it won't yet have those blue veins that you're looking 119 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: for because the interior of the cheese is more or 120 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: less sealed off from airflow and mold needs air to grow. 121 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: So at this point you pierce the cheese through going 122 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: from the round edges of the cylinder straight inwards using 123 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: these clean stainless steel needles, you know, so that no 124 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: other microbes really have a chance to hitch a ride in. 125 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 2: And you might do this like twice over two weeks. Finally, 126 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: around seven weeks total, the cheese will be graded G 127 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: r a d ed like like given, you know, like 128 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 2: ape or you know in this case not that, but okay, 129 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: the cheese grater takes a core sample again from that 130 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: rounded edge, and we'll assess whether the appearance, texture, smell, 131 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 2: and taste are a appropriate to label a stilton at all 132 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: versus like merely blue cheese, and b what type of 133 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: stilton it could be labeled as. So it could be 134 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: packaged for sale at this point, or you could keep 135 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: aging it. Those like regular old blue stiltons are sold 136 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: around six to twelve weeks of aging, and we'll have 137 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: a white body with a flaky but velvety texture and 138 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 2: a sharp flavor. Mature blues are age ten to fifteen 139 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: weeks and have developed a like creamy yellow white sort 140 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: of color and a creamier texture with a little bit 141 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: more of a mellowed flavor. And then vintage blues are 142 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: also like off white yellow, with a bit of a 143 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: drier texture and a stronger flavor. And I need a 144 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: easting platter of these stat immediately. 145 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 3: I didn't even know now that I do. 146 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Heck, yeah, I want to side by side, I want 147 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: to go through each there, share notes. 148 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, okay, anyway, I'm just thinking about cheese plates now, 149 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 2: coming back, coming back, all right, All three of these 150 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: blue varieties have those characteristic veins of sort of like 151 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 2: murky blue green sneaking through the cheese like like like 152 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 2: streams through the countryside. So what's happening here is that 153 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: by letting air into the body of the cheese, the 154 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: penicillium rock of Forte starter culture that was introduced in 155 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 2: the beginning suddenly has enough air to begin growing in 156 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: and around that that that relatively loose matrix of the 157 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: kurds within the wheel. Remember they're they're not packed in, 158 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 2: so they've got some space between them for that moment 159 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 2: to grow. Is a type of fungus, and these veins 160 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 2: are are composed of the visible spores of that fungus 161 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 2: that it will put out like the equivalent of like 162 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,239 Speaker 2: the seeds. 163 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 3: Of a plant. 164 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, the finished cheeses are in this right like tall 165 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: cylindrical wheel called a truckle, which I love. 166 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: Right, yes, new word. 167 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 2: These truckles come in different sizes. I've seen ones about 168 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: two point two kilos, which is around five pounds, that 169 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 2: are about five and a half inches in diameter, that's 170 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: fourteen centimeters and stand a little bit taller than that, 171 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: and then ones that weigh about seven and a half 172 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: kilos that's sixteen pounds, that have like about the same proportions, 173 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: just scaled up. I didn't I didn't do the math. 174 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: I did not do the do the math. Today, Stilton 175 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: does have a PDL, a protected designation of origin, and 176 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: current law dictates that it can only be made in 177 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: three counties in England, Shear, Derby, Shear and Nottingham Shere 178 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: you have to use full fat, pasteurized milk that is 179 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: harvested from those counties unless there's a milk shortage there, 180 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 2: and then milk from surrounding counties is okay too. You 181 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 2: cannot press the cheese into its hoops. There are six 182 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 2: cheese producers currently able to even attempt to label their 183 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: cheese Stilton, and I'm going to read them all out 184 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 2: because English nomenclature is amazing. 185 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 3: All right, here we go. 186 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: We've got Websters, Holston, Bassett, Cropwell, Bishop Tuxford and Tebbett, 187 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 2: Hartenting Dairy Hardington keep saying it wrong and long Clawson. 188 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: Wow, you gave me a little cheeser that this was 189 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: going to be a very English list. It didn't disappoint 190 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: It's just. 191 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: The englishest thing I've ever heard, and I love it 192 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: so much, every single one of those. Anyway, I seriously like, 193 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 2: I can't believe that we rebelled against nomenclature like this, 194 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: Like come on, like, what are we doing over here? 195 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: This is excellent? 196 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: So oh okay. 197 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: Anyway, those three counties, which are north of London and 198 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: like a central England area called the East Midlands, have 199 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: a good soil for grasses and the sort of temperate, 200 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: less humid than most of England climate, which contribute to 201 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: the milk qualities and the aging qualities of the cheese. 202 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 2: The climate matters because it provides a friendly environment for 203 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: the microbes that contribute to that final flavor and texture. 204 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 2: Because like as with all fermented products that are not 205 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 2: you know, hermetically sealed, it's not just the microbes that 206 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: you introduce on purpose that lend themselves to the final product. 207 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 2: It's also like whatever is living on the surfaces and 208 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: in the air around the cheese as it's aging. And yeah, 209 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: siltans are flavorful cheeses, you know, at a little bit 210 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: creamy and nutty and yeasty sweet, like like a little 211 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: bit of sweetness in there, but then with that sharp 212 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: and dusty aftertaste and that soft and velvety texture all 213 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 2: at the same time goes really well with both sweet 214 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: and savory flavors, making a cheese plate in my head. Okay, 215 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 2: it is traditionally associated with port wine and the Christmas holiday. 216 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: I read port because as the cheese was becoming fashionable, 217 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: the British were also at war with France, and so 218 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: like alternative wines like Portugal's port were two becoming fashionable. 219 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: I mean also they just sort of taste good when 220 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: you have them together. And then Christmas because all right, so, 221 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 2: cheese quality depends on milk quality, right, Milk quality depends 222 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: on a cow's feed and health, and rich late summer 223 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: grasses in this area help cows make excellent milk. So 224 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,599 Speaker 2: stilton cheeses that are started in the late summer or 225 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: early fall would be ready right in time for Christmas. 226 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 2: I think I knew about the port association. You know, 227 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: it's again like a sweet, rich port is strong enough 228 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 2: in flavor and like booziness to stand up to the 229 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: sort of aggression of a stilton. But I did not 230 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 2: know about the Christmas association. 231 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 3: So y'all, y'all rite. 232 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: In yes, yes, please do, because I did. I ran 233 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: across that a lot of my research as well. Wow A, 234 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: what about the nutrition? 235 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: I you know, cheese is a nutrient dense food. Watch 236 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 2: your portion sizes, but it's got a good a good 237 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: punch of fat, a good punch of protein, you know, 238 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: Drink some water, eat some vegetable, to eat some vegetable. 239 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 3: Share.

In all 330 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 2: of our cheese episodes, the story usually involves some combo 331 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 2: of dairy, some type of container like an animal, bladder, 332 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: movement within that container, temperature, and in some cases caves. 333 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: Like storing in caves. Environment and specifics around the animal 334 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: and region often come into play as well, which we 335 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: did see in Stilton. Sometimes there's a love story or 336 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: a breakup story, although those are usually never backed up 337 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: by anything, but it is a story people like to tell, 338 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: they do, they sure to. When it comes to blue 339 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: cheese like Stilton. According to cheese professor dot Com excellent name, 340 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: they may have originated sometime in BCE, where cheeses developed 341 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: blue veins when they were stored in caves. In the 342 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: world of blue cheese, Stilton is a bit newer, though 343 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: as usual, many have tried to lay claim to Stilton, 344 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: but in general historians agree it probably was created around 345 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: the seventeen hundreds and had something to do with the 346 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:17,199 Speaker 1: bell in Stilton, Huntingdon Sheer, near modern day Cambridge. The 347 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: details are difficult to suss out, but according to sources 348 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: I read, Stilton was a market town at the time 349 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: and folks in this area were making cream cheese long 350 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: before the seventeenth century. 351 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think that this is referring to 352 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 2: cream cheese like we know it, like we use that 353 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 2: word today, like what you'd put on bagels modernly, but 354 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: rather types of cheese being made with like creamy whole milk. 355 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: But linguistics, I don't know. 356 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: Nope. Yeah, that's mysteries history. Part of the fun of 357 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: doing this research on the show, and it's always before refrigeration, 358 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: cheese was a great way to preserve milk. One source 359 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: I found asserted that there was evidence that cheese was 360 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: being produced in Stilton at least seventeen hundred years ago. 361 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: So I guess people might have been making cheese, is 362 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: what the general vibe is. 363 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 2: Were there cows there, probably someone was making cheese. 364 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, yes, exactly. Also, Stilton was a day's journey 365 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: by carriage from London, and the bell Inn was a 366 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: nice place to stay. After the journey or while on 367 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: the journey from the north, tired travelers would try local products, 368 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: including this cheese, and then they would spread the word 369 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: about it, and as more and more people tried it, 370 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: demand grew. This brings us to some fun but unverifiable specifics. Yes. 371 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: One is that a cheesemaker named Francis Pollett from central 372 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: England sold her blue veined cheeses to a man named 373 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: Cooper Thornhill excellent name, who ran the bell in Paul. 374 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: It started essentially licensing her recipe to other cheesemakers to 375 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: meet demand, and this led to the commercialization of Stilton cheese. 376 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: The dates don't really match up, but she could have 377 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: played a role in popularizing it certainly. Another name that 378 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: comes up a lot is Lady Beaumont. In the seventeenth century, 379 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: she allegedly made a cream cheese for her family. It 380 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: earned the name Lady Beaumont Cheese, although it is sort 381 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: of up for grabs if she actually made it shriff 382 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: and maybe it was just named after her. Later, Thomas 383 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: Beaumont passed thrust Beyond to a nearby family and then 384 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: they started making it, and then yes spread from there. 385 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: A fellow named Richard Bradley wrote about Silton cheese around 386 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: this time. Quote as to the fashion of this cheese, 387 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: it is about eight inches high and about seven inches 388 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: the diameter over the top. It is so soft that 389 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: when we cut it at a year old, or about 390 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: the Christmas next after the making, one may spread it 391 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: upon bread like butter Christmas mention. 392 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and also approximately the size ish of those 393 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 2: truckles today, those truckles today, no matter who invented it. 394 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: Yes, it was served at the bell Inn in Stilton, 395 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: often to traveler from London in the seventeen twenties. In 396 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: Daniel Dafoe's seventeen twenty four travel memoir, he described Stilton 397 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: cheese as quote our English parmesan from quote, a town 398 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: famous for cheese. Though from what I read, the cheese 399 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: in question wasn't quite like our modern understanding of Stilton. 400 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: I got confused, because I was like, are you are 401 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: we critiquing his description of it, or anyway it might 402 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: not have been quite what we would have thought of. Okay, 403 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: that iteration seemed to come about some time around seventeen ninety, 404 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: but I will say I did come across. I love 405 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: to put long quotes in here and then I cut 406 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 1: them out because like it's just me being a nerd. 407 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: I did run across a lot of quotes about Stilton 408 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: from that time. Okay, okay, it was popping off. It 409 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: was popping off. In eighteen sixty six, Edward Bradley published 410 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: a four thousand word essay titled The Hero of Stilton 411 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: and Stilton Cheese, which appeared in the New York Times 412 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: and alleged the cheese had never been made in Stilton day. 413 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: Okay, wow, At any rate, it was a popular cheese 414 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 2: and like getting towards the idea of like of these 415 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: dimensions and perhaps a certain odor, because by the Victorian era, 416 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: these posh pottery like Wedgewood were producing these cheese stands, 417 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 2: specifically for Stilton's. They would consist of two pieces, a 418 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 2: base and then a removable cover shaped in a tall 419 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 2: cylinder to accommodate an entire chuckle of Stilton. And yeah, 420 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: the cover would like keep the cheese moist through dinner 421 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: service because the cheese courses near the end, and also 422 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 2: prevent it from smelling up the room. There were also 423 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: wedge and dome shaped cheese trays like this that I 424 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 2: imagine we're a bit more general purpose, but anyway, Yeah, 425 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 2: the cylindrical ones that I've seen tend to feature a 426 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 2: lot of nature scenes, roses, daisies, plum blossoms, lily pads, birds, 427 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 2: stuff like that. One was shaped like a turret tower 428 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: covered in vines. I really liked that one. 429 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: That sounds amazing. Yeah, I love this also, A chuckle 430 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: of Stilton is another phrase that is going to stick 431 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: with me after it as being very varying good. Okay. 432 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,239 Speaker 1: By the nineteen tens, this cheese was popular enough that 433 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: the producers of it organized to hammer out specifics around 434 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: production method and definitions. Yeah. 435 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 2: That this was a company, like the first of a 436 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 2: few cheesemaker co ops that worked together to improve the 437 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: quality and the quantity of production. 438 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: All the while industrialization automated processes and move production away 439 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: from small farms, until the last farm producing Stilton closed 440 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty five. With modernization, only one town dairy 441 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: continued to make Stilton in the traditional way with unpasteurized 442 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: milk until they closed in nineteen eighty nine. 443 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was this food poisoning outbreak that year that 444 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: was associated with Stilton cheeses. 445 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, in nineteen ninety two, Stilton cheesemakers came together 446 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: and decided to amend the rules so that Silton Cheese 447 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: could no longer use unpasteurized milk. 448 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, between that outbreak, but also it was that outbreak, 449 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 2: but it was also to kind of appease international customers, 450 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 2: possibly specifically the United States, that demanded pasteurized milk cheeses. 451 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: I will say that since then, a couple of Stilton 452 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 2: style cheeses made with raw milk have popped back up. 453 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety six, Stilton Cheese secured that protected designation 454 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: of Origin status or PDO. 455 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 2: Right, and I outlined those pedo regulations at the top. 456 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 2: But fun thing here, the rules actually prevent blue cheeses 457 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: made in Stilton the village from being called Stilton cheese. 458 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 2: The bell In makes one that they now call Bells Blue. 459 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: The town has been fighting to get the rules changed 460 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 2: for decades. Now, Wow, this is ongoing. 461 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: Cheese regulations, my friend. 462 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 2: Oh, it's a harsh world, okay. But meanwhile, research into 463 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 2: the microbes that go into these cheeses is ongoing. So 464 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 2: in twenty twelve, researchers within the production area isolated this 465 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 2: particular wild yeast that is partially kind of largely responsible 466 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 2: for Stilton's characteristic sent called Euroea liptolytica sure i never 467 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 2: took Latin. The researchers hoped that in learning to control 468 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: this particular yeast, cheesemakers could make a more consistent product 469 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 2: in the future. And then just this year, a team 470 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 2: out of the University of Nottingham published a study of 471 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 2: how Penicillium rockeforti produces color and flavor as it grows, 472 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,479 Speaker 2: and they discovered that the spores actually go through this 473 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 2: whole genetically controlled biochemical rain before arriving at their final 474 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 2: blue green color. And they discovered that they could stop 475 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 2: the process at different points to create new colors of 476 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: molds bores from white to yellow green, to pinkish red 477 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 2: to reddish brown. And their hope is that this will 478 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: lend itself to like interesting new entries in the blue 479 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 2: cheese market, you know, like make it more fun. Yeah. Also, 480 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: also in their testing, they found the people reported flavors 481 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 2: that they associated with the colors, flavors that were not 482 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 2: actually accurate to the chemical makeup of the cheese, which 483 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: was more or less the same as like standard blue 484 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 2: veined cheese. Humans get up stuff. Yeah, they did not 485 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: take photos or the finished cheeses before they ate them, though. 486 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: I both understand am very frustrated. I want to see 487 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: the Jesus. Yeah. 488 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 2: An article I was reading about it, and I think 489 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 2: on science dot org was saying that, yeah, they were 490 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 2: just kicking themselves over not taking photos. 491 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 3: They were just too eager to eat the cheese. 492 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: I get it, Like I said, I get it, my friends, 493 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: you'll just have to do it again. 494 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 3: I guess so. 495 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:20,959 Speaker 2: I guess so. 496 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: I guess so. Alas that would be cool. That's really interesting, right, yeah, okay, 497 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: all right, well, listeners, as always, if you have any 498 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: experience with this, if you've got thoughts, preferences, please let 499 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: us know. But I believe that's what we have to 500 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: say about Stilton for now. 501 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 3: It is. 502 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 2: We do already have some listener mail for you, though, 503 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: and we are going to get into that as soon 504 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 2: as we get back from one more quick break forward 505 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 2: from our sponsors. 506 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: And we're back.

There was a whole gesture. Listeners. 511 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: I've promised. Oh uh huh, Joe wrote, it's such delight 512 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 1: when my job collides with this podcast. I teach human evolution, 513 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: amongst other things. So the history section of the Bone 514 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: Mirror episode got my blood pump in. Annie. Your enthusiasm 515 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: made me so happy, because I too, nerd out so 516 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: hard for those few weeks unpacking stereotypes and talking about 517 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,239 Speaker 1: all the glorious complexities of our history. There are so 518 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: many questions, and of course so many revolve around subsistence. 519 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: When did our lineage switch from opportunistic scavenging to hunting? 520 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: What is the role of foraging, how vegetarian or not? 521 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,719 Speaker 1: Or various members of our lineage? How important was fire really? 522 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: And how can we say anything definitive about all these things? 523 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: Best to stop there, because each question is practically a 524 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: lecture in its own right. Most of my exposure to 525 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: bone marrow is through beef stews. In the Philippines, we 526 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: have one called bulaalo. It is the definition of a 527 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: marrow stew, a simple, but rich and hearty. My dad 528 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: tends to prefer a version with more emphasis on the 529 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 1: meat called Nilaga. Attaches a boulalo recipe from one of 530 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: my aunt's cookbooks, the one I mentioned a few listener 531 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: mails ago. The recipe is fascinating because it calls for 532 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 1: banana hearts and tofu. I usually see bolalo with kyot 533 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: squash and BACKCHOI tossed in at the end. Definitely give 534 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: the recipe and its variations a try, and please let 535 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: your butcher cut the bones for you. As a four 536 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 1: roasted bone marrow. I first had it at the Purple 537 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: Pig in Chicago. M meat better. The restaurant is still there, 538 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: as is the menu item. Time to go back. Yes. 539 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: Also thanks to all the listeners who supported Lauren and 540 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: telling me do not try to cut the bones. This 541 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 1: is multiple people. 542 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. 543 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 2: We want Annie to keep all of her fingers. 544 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: I love it. I really do appreciate. It's just been 545 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: very comical how many I've guns. I understand, you're right, 546 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. I love this. I as you could 547 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 1: hear in that episode, I did nerd out really hard 548 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 1: about the evolution of it. In fact, so cool of 549 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: like bone marrows possible role in our evolutionary history. I 550 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: recently was at the beach with some friends and this 551 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: is what I was like, you have to listen to 552 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: me talk about this. This is so cool and I'm 553 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: with you like every question and it raises all these 554 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: other questions, right, but also think, thank you so much 555 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: for including the pronunciations. I hope I didn't butcher them nonetheless, 556 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: but that's always appreciated. 557 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 2: Yes, oh, my goodness, so appreciated. Yeah, oh and those 558 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,399 Speaker 2: sound really good. 559 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: They sound so good. I'm on the hunt, I am. 560 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: I will if I get the bones, I will get 561 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: the butcher to cut them up. But I am yet cool. 562 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have after that hollow, hollow episode that we did, 563 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 2: I have such a hecking craving for Filipino foods. So 564 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, we're going to have to do something 565 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 2: about this. But who yes, yes okay. EJ sent a 566 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 2: follow up email about the pizzas from Japan with more 567 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 2: details very important. 568 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,720 Speaker 3: Thank you, okay. 569 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 2: So whenever I order one of these, it's for events 570 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 2: for homesick Americans, and it's only one or two of 571 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,879 Speaker 2: these among an assortment of like sixteen to twenty four pizzas. Pepperoni, 572 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 2: which is somewhat rare, and pan is the most popular. 573 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 2: People ask me why do it? Because it's a conversation 574 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 2: starter and it always makes a good story. The pizzas 575 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 2: are square cuts, so you only really get a tiny 576 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,919 Speaker 2: piece if you want. All right, Soakura pizza, yep, that's 577 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 2: a stuffed crust pizza. They proudly say. It was one 578 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 2: and a half times the amount of cheese, strawberry pink tapioca, 579 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,760 Speaker 2: powdered sugar, and sakura shaped white chocolate. It's a dessert pizza, 580 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 2: so it tasted like a cousin to the strawberry Danish, 581 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 2: but with a pizza crust. The bloody Halloween pizza, all right. 582 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 2: The predominant flavor of this one was fire hot. Sauces 583 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 2: here tend to be mild, but this was legitimately hot 584 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 2: that you barely taste the sweet tapioca. Tapioca didn't bother 585 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 2: me because muchI is often thought of as a dessert, 586 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 2: but you can definitely have savory mochi. I like putting 587 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,280 Speaker 2: muchI and cheese in my okinoma yaki, for example. 588 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 3: Yes, that is so good. 589 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 2: Okay, not sure what the black crust was, squid ink 590 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 2: active in charcoal. Halloween pizzas are a thing with Domino's Japan. 591 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 2: I've never tried any of these, but they have these 592 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 2: Russian roulette style pizzas where one or two slices would 593 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:14,280 Speaker 2: be spiked to be extra spicy. Okay, Pickles pizza tasted 594 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,479 Speaker 2: like a hamburger without the burger part. This year they've 595 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 2: done Cheesy Volcano, which is a paper bowl under a 596 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 2: pizza filled with cheese sauce, and right now they're doing 597 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 2: Cay Food, which is a bunch of Korean favorites on 598 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 2: a pizza. Cheesy Volcano was easily the biggest disappointment, as 599 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 2: it was just that cheese sauce. It was neither weird 600 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 2: or novel, nor good enough. The Ky Food was good, 601 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,319 Speaker 2: but not as big of a stretch as of pickles pizza. 602 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 2: My favorite pizza at Domino's is the charcoal grilled beef pizza. 603 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 2: You order it with an ultra thin crust. You can 604 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 2: just roll it up like a pinwheel sandwich and pop 605 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 2: it in your mouth. Tastes like a night out at 606 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,280 Speaker 2: a yaki niku restaurant or in izakaya in pizza form. 607 00:38:58,239 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 3: Best of all, it tastes good. 608 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 2: Or even better when cold. The best part of this 609 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 2: no tomato pizza is the smoky taste of chargrilled beef 610 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 2: with mushrooms and spinach on a bed of cheese, which 611 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 2: is also acquired a bit of smokiness from the beef. 612 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 2: And they also included photos of these things. The The 613 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 2: ad for the Halloween double Roulette pizza, Yeah shows shows 614 00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 2: clearly the two of the slices are going to set 615 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 2: you on fire and everyone is going to laugh at 616 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 2: you in your pain. 617 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: It's excellent. It's green fire. And the person who got 618 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: the slice is doing all the work. He's carrying this 619 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,919 Speaker 1: ad face he's making of absolute pain while the other 620 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 1: two laugh at him. 621 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's excellent. 622 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: It's beautiful, beautiful, so good. 623 00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,359 Speaker 2: And this charcoal grilled beef pizza yes, oh that looks 624 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 2: like a really high quality pizza like saucer or No. 625 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: That's really good.
