We
had some people over to celebrate the ending of one year and the beginning of
another. In addition to the robust meal she prepared, my wife also served a
platter of assorted cheeses and crackers. As I picked through the sampler, I
noticed the name on one of the cheeses said “Murcia Drunken Goat Cheese.” Of
course I was instantly intrigued and filled with questions. The main one being,
“Do they get the goat drunk before milking her, or does she do that on her
own?”
I
mean is the Murcia region of Spain filled with a whole population of alcoholic
goats and the cheese companies decided to capitalize on their inebriated state
to take the goats’ milk? I think maybe the goats are enjoying life a bit too
much, and by extension now we can too! The cheese was actually very tasty.
