The Secret Life of Cheese

It's an interesting article, but be forewarned: it's more than a bit graphic. The sensitive of stomach and anyone who feels that "meat is murder" should steer clear.

On the upside, the farm family in question slaughters their own goats and they use every bit of them - nothing goes to waste.

It turns out that bacterial culture is harder to nurish than e.g. theatrical or opera culture.

Woah, did not expect a picture of an animal being bled out.

As an aside, Roads and Kingdoms is a fantastic site. Definitely worth RSS-subscribing to for their longer stories.
