someone explain pecorino

[edinatlanta]

It ****************. Dudes seem to love it. Its not a good substitute for parm yet folk want to act like it is. Its not that much less than parm. It ****************. I think that's a good start.

uh, no. padano is a substitute for parm (actually parm is a subset of padanos). pecorino is sheep's milk cheese (pecora=sheep). it has a very forceful funk. i love it. parm is great for a delicate sauce, but for something like a robust puttanesca, with lots of olives, capers, etc., pecorino. it's also good in caccio-pepe -- basically little butter, cheese, LOTS of black pepper. eta: oh, forgot to add: Edinaphail

edinaphail +1

Itt: dudes don't read what I write. So I said its no substitute OTHERS say it is. I just don't get the love for a ****** cheese. Foodguys explenation is ignored because I don't put cheese in puttanesca nor on top of pasta and I prefer parm

wtf?

Pecorino is a form of Italian satire based around a lovable rascal or rogue, something like Calvino's Baron in the Trees (or maybe Huck Sawyer when translated into Latin). If you substituted a book for Parm, then Of Course it ****************. Jeebus, what kind of dolt are you, anyway?

Also congrats foodguy you got your post correct on the third try and its still wrong

My family does not come from these sorts of places. I like Pecorino, but there is a woman at the cheese store near by who gives me a hard time when I need it for cooking. She starts going on about this pecorino and that and blah, blah, blah. I can't stop her even if I know what I want.

No, she is a self proclaimed Foodie. When I need help, though, she knows cheese very well.

Before I could stop myself, I audibly said "ugh" when a woman at a recently opened eatery near my house described herself as such. There was a really awkward pause with eye contact, before I said "excuse me."

yeah, welcome to my life. every single person i meet seems to want to tell me about their "personal relationship with food."
