- spookyttws, on 07/12/2008, -1/+1Well, duh. Did anyone believe otherwise? Hungry mice, or perhaps trigger happy cheese makers?

The only problem in America is that we use pasteurized milk which gets rid of the bacteria so the quality of our cheese is reduced, of course there are places to get a good cheese but they're generally also really expensive.
