QotD: Say Cheese

What's your favorite type of cheese? Or, if you don't like cheese, why not?

My favorite cheese is Lappi and I haven't had it in ages. It's not terribly exciting, as cheeses go, but I like it very much and it is impossible to find around here. I would describe it as the lovechild of Havarti and Swiss. It comes from Finland.

This question reminded me of the infamous interview that Courtney Love did, circa 1993, with Lisa Carver, editor and publisher of a zine called Rollerderby:

COURTNEY: I have a tip! I lost forty pounds, and I have a real tip. I was fat from fourteen to twenty-four. When you're fat like I was, which was five feet eight inches and 150 to 170 pounds, you do not get to fuck the boys you want to fuck. Right? ... Right?

LISA: Perhaps.

COURTNEY: The minute I got skinny and got a nose job and became photogenic, all of a sudden I have a bidding war, and every boy I ever wanted, wanted me.

LISA: What's your tip?

COURTNEY: The thing you gotta do is — A! Stop counting calories! Okay? B! Do not get on a scale! 'Cause lean muscle weighs more than fat. All right? I cut out FAT! That's all you gotta do. FAT! No cheese. That's it, Lisa. I told this to KROQ, I told this to my nanny. People I tell this to lose ten, 30 pounds. STOP CHEESE. You know why the Orientals are not fat? Cause they look on cheese as this gross, Western habit — it's like sour milk LARD. They don't want anything to fucking do with cheese. If you're gonna eat cheese, take it out on a picnic, cut it up carefully, and really taste it — with wine or something. Don't melt it on shit. And I lost 40 POUNDS by not eating cheese. And I even ate a little mayonnaise. All right? Skip the butter and skip the cheese and you will lose weight. I swear to God, Lisa. I was a fat girl my whole life. No one would fuck me, and when they did they'd do things like fart in front of me. I told my friend that this guy farted in front of me, and you know what he said?

LISA: Nn-nn.

COURTNEY: He said, "Well, look at her; wouldn't you fart in front of her?"

LISA: Oh! Here's my second question —

COURTNEY: Don't eat cheese. There are a million things to eat that are not cheese.
