[edit] List of cheeses

"Chinko Shigoto" in the Japanese cheeses seems kind of odd. Literally translated, this might mean "penis work cheese". Maybe some cross-language vandalism? Does anybody have a source for this?

Shouldn't it be "List of cheeses"? Deb 17:42 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

yup. done -- Tarquin 20:54 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I wonder if this could be an alphabetical list... --btbvector 17:18, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

It is supposed to be countries alphabetical with region and cheeses alphabetical within country. I notice a couple errors which I will fix. Do you mean a single list regardless of countries? That sounds ok as an addition. Rmhermen 19:22, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)
Yes, I think it would be a good addition. --btbvector 17:37, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Did you say "list of cheeses"? :)

[edit] Categorising this page...

... I notice that cheese.com has a list of cheeses. They have several categorisations... I wonder if we could do something like this? - Ta bu shi da yu 00:36, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

We already have the equivalent of their alphabetical listing and the listing by countries. Rmhermen 02:33, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
Incidently, there are cheeses on this page that aren't listed here... - Ta bu shi da yu 00:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Further Categorization

It ought to be noted that authorship of some of these cheeses can be disputed, particularly the fact that Turkey has been ignored. Depending on who you ask, Feta is home to both Greece and Turkey (whose regions have only relatively recently been separated historically etc.). This is not limited to Feta btw. Since Cyprus was included w/ Greece, I think we should also include Turkey. Kingerik 18:38, 4 November 2005 (UTC) (hehehe, cheeses have authors:))

Why is Cheddar cheese under the list of American cheeses when it clearly states in the Cheddar cheese page that it is from England?

[edit] This should be sorted by production, not alphabetically

I believe this list should be sorted by cheese production in descending order. Countries that produce alot of cheese, like England, U.S., France, Italy, etc., should be listed on top, though the list of cheeses within each country can be kept alphabetical. But listing countries alphabetically is not useful in my opinion. Thoughts? CGameProgrammer 19:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questionable Contribution by 57.67.177.33

The addition of 'pimmelkaese' looks like a prank to me.

[edit] Chinko Shigoto cheese

I have moved the following entry, after noting the anonymous concern raised above.

  • Chinko Shigoto cheese from Sapporo, a soft crumbly cheese flavoured with ghi or katinga
