I understand the Swiss invented cheese hence Swiss cheese.

On the contrary, the Swiss invented cheese with holes

Yes, it is thought that cheese itself was "discovered" (as opposed to invented) by nomads on the steppes. It was probably mare's milk at that.

What the Swiss did, was to use a yeast formula that produced a great deal of carbon dioxide late in the process. It was this bacterial flatulence that is responsible for the "holes."

No more Swiss cheese for me. Thanks for ruining for me, Pela.

Two interesting facts about Switzerland:

Switzerland was never invaded during either WWI or WWII.

Women were not given the right to vote in Switzerland until 1971!.......1971!...In some cantons there was still a no majority. There was confusion about women being included in the word "citizens" in the constitution. I believe it was 1990 before it was decided that women were truly "citizens" and the constitution would not have to be changed...1990 in Switzerland. That's quite a bit later than the 19th Amendment here in 1920. That seems bizarre to me to think it was such a short time ago when women were given the right to vote there.

The USDA has now regulated the size of the holes in Swiss cheese...LOL

Can you believe this?

http://www.ams.usda.gov/standards/swiss_revised.pdf

The holes must be 3/8 to 3/16....I can think of some people who love to inspect sleeve length, etc. who would be great at this job!..J/K

I did a cut and paste:

Propionibacter shermani is one of the three types of bacteria used to make Swiss cheese, and it's responsible for the cheese's distinctive holes. Once P. shermani is added to the cheese mixture and warmed, bubbles of carbon dioxide form. These bubbles become holes in the final product. Cheesemakers can control the size of the holes by changing the acidity, temperature, and curing time of the mixture. Incidentally, those holes are technically called "eyes," and the proper Swiss name for the cheese is Emmentaler (also spelled Emmental or Emmenthaler).

Do theremists do Bar Mitzvahs?

And are they related to extermists?
