Documentation, please? How do we know that American Cheeses (and I am NOT
talking about the pale orange plastic sheets you get in the grocery) would
not be close to period cheeses? There are some stellar "gourmet" cheeses
produced here in the United States, many varieties of which were available in
the middle ages. As to the "non-period diet" comment.... what did they feed
cows in the middle ages that we don't feed them today? This is a serious
question, by the way. Perhaps one of the real experts out there could answer
this?
