Cheese anthropology is just one of my hobbies and just for my own pleasure although nowadays you can study it at Uni-oh to be younger!!
It is looking at the social and cultural side of cheese both present day and historically. The effects of geography, climate, wars, religion etc on cheese making in different regions.
Basically I am a ‘curd nerd’!!

@ClaireLewis very interesting - I’m a big fan of cheese. Few days go by without me eating one variety or other of cheese - there are 4 different cheeses in my fridge as I type. Oh… the Emmental is getting a bit low…🙁. More seriously, the history / geography / religion of cheese sounds fascinating! I’m sure the differences in production (& how they arose) are equally interesting.

Yes you are!
And you should be proud of being a curd-nerd!
But...
A *real* curd-nerd must have an extensive knowledge of French cheeses.
Do you know your Bleu d'Auvergne from your Fourme d'Ambert?
Your Comté from your Gruyère?
