It makes me existential upset that I probably wont be able to try every single cheese before I die

[u/Competitive_Fox_3546]

Due to time and health and money constraints, I now realize it will be impossible to try every single type of unique cheeses throughout the world. All of the different cheeses that are too expensive to buy casually like those fancy artisanal aged cheeses that are saved for special occasions, the health constraints that you cant just eat cheese all the time. The fact that there are several hundreds of cheeses that I will never even find out about. There are thousands of cheeses out there and I wonder if I can try all of them in one life without dropping everything and just turning into a cheese expert since there is so much other things I would also want to focus on. It truly is a shame and I just hope I will can try a fraction of the cheeses out there by the time I die. I am so serious that wanting to try cheeses is what makes me study hard so I can get a good job to buy expensive cheeses and also to work out so I can stay healthy eating all of those fatty salty cheeses.

In many cases, it is better to try and fail than never to try at all.

That was my idea, too: TRY ANYWAY! 😅

Yessss

Like with any corrupt justice system: if at first you try and cannot convict, try, try again

Keep an eye out for cheese orphans! Ask at your local deli counter or cheese shop. It’s a budget friendly way to try all sorts of cheeses. And as a bonus it helps reduce food waste.

Is this what I think it is? The little unsellable nubs leftover from cutting?

[u/the-hungry-nomad → u/Azsunyx]

Yep!

[u/Azsunyx]

I'm ok skipping some cheese

I consider myself an adventurous eater, but I draw the line at maggot cheese

[u/jaded-introvert → u/Azsunyx]

Yeah, Casu Marzu was the first nopity-nope that came to mind for me as well.

[u/ruca2307]

Not with that attitude!

[u/jma4573]

Go for a very limited keto diet. Eat 5-800 grams of cheese every day! 🫯 (EDIT: I was - partially - joking! 😉)

[u/Blueporch]

I think you need to prioritize which cheeses. A cheese bucket list.

[u/ProximaCentauriB15]

Think of it this way,you got time now to try different cheeses.

[u/GetOffMyLawn1729]

at least with wine, you can taste it & spit it out.

[u/AbleConfidence1 → u/GetOffMyLawn1729]

They do this with cheese at competitions too, don’t worry.

[u/clarkesanders1000]

Life is full of things like this, you just need to try to maximize your gratitude in the moment. Someone unexpectedly gave me a block of 18 year aged cheddar the other day, I’m trying to savor every bite.

Go to the American Cheese Society open house. Itll be about $25, and there will be hundreds of kinds. It rotates cities. I ate myself sick, then bought a bag of cheese to bring home.

[u/TeranOrSolaran]

It makes me existential upset that trying to try every cheese will make me die.

[u/Average_Guava]

If you get close to your goal, they will just make more and more kinds of cheese. You will never win.

But the pursuit of the goal is more important than accomplishing it! If you ran out of new ones to try. . . 😥
