The Musings Of The Consensus

 I decided to get two cheeses on opposite ends of the texture scale: Smoked Mozzarella for the softer side, and Fiore Sardo for the harder. I've had several other Italian cheeses and regular Mozzarella, but I was intrigued by both of the cheeses above, hence this review. Fiore Sardo is a somewhat lesser-known cheese than other Pecorino (sheep) cheeses. The name stems from the original method of curdling the cheese via cardoon thistle flowers (much like how vinegar is an alternative source of curdling to rennet).

The name is, loosely translated, "Flower of Sardinia", since Fiore means flower and the Sardo is short for Sardinia. Legally, only Fiore Sardo can be sold outside of Italy, it has an alternative version of itself that is combined with cheese fly larvae, which is banned outside of It...

The below is my personal views and I will not apologize for them in the slightest. I welcome any civil remarks, even those that disagree, and will respectfully acknowledge dissent so long as it's delivered as politely as I tried to phrase the below.  I've generally kept my mouth shut since Trump got elected because I wanted to see just what he had in mind exactly, and to be perfectly honest, I expected nigh all of his programs. https://apnews.com/article/what-has-trump-done-trump-executive-orders-f061fbe7f08c08d81509a6af20ef8fc0 Here is an itemized list of what he implemented above, and while I'm not entirely sanguine on all...
