Science Experiments

[bugshaw]

I may have contaminated my goats' cheese experiment.

I had 30g of cheese a day for 5 days, felt mostly okay, a bit of aching.

Then I went to Redemption. On Friday I had some accidental butter in my sandwich. On Saturday morning I had some accidental butter on the breakfast mushrooms. And had an egg sandwich with known butter. Played four rounds of Twister - and won one! Had three "sod-it" chocolate hobnobs. For Sunday breakfast I had a "sod-it" pain au chocolat (but no mushrooms), and another egg sandwich with known butter.

There is aching, but I don't know the cause. I have another pack of goats' cheese with which to experiment this week, and a pack of goats butter (now I know it exists, it is very easy to find!)

So, the hypothesis is that it's cow's milk that is the problem, as opposed to all milk? That would certainly make your life simpler. Good luck, and do keep us posted. Hope Redemption was good. We missed you Saturday night.

I am testing that hypothesis! I suspect it might not be entirely true, but I have at least proved I can eat some goats cheese without feeling too bad.

We fell upon some goats cheese tortelloni at the supermarket, but found they were primarily filled with cows ricotta and only a small proportion of goat. So I'd be wary of ordering goats cheese X... in a restaurant.
