This is the Conversation Forum for Brunost - Norwegian Brown Cheese << Good! Subject: Sterkere enn pultost Posted Sep 10, 2002 by Raindawn - Keeper of Bookshelves that Defy the Laws of Physics   Posting 1 Interesting stuff, NAITA Just promise me you won't make me try it when I travel to Norway someday... Cheers Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Sterkere enn pultost Posted Sep 10, 2002 by NAITA (Join ViTAL - A1014625) This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 Hey! I'm telling you, brunost is good! Sweet and caramelly is what it's supposed to taste like, according to people unfamiliar with the adverb 'brunostly'. Gammalost on the other hand, and pultost, are terrible concoctions... Maybe I should do an entry on strange Norwegian cheeses instead...

I think you definitely need to explore the full gamut of Norwegian cheeses for your guide entry Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Sterkere enn pultost Posted Sep 11, 2002 by NAITA (Join ViTAL - A1014625) This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 4 Wisdom? Where did you get that from? Gammal (spelled gammel in the dictionary) means old. Gammalost -> old cheese Or, according to dictionary etymology, cheese of the old type, oh well, it looks like "old" cheese anyways. You make a cheese from fermented skimmed milk, and then you let a particular type of mold work on it until it's a light brown crumbly mass... I can't tell you what it tastes like, because i've never dared sample it...

I was thinking of a Morten Harket song called "Gammal og Vis", which I knew was "Old and Wise" but somehow it popped into my mind backwards. That's where the 'wise' thing came from. At any rate, Gammalost sounds scary!

My older relatives eat the stuff though, and they're still alive so it can't be instantly deadly.
