I'm gonna put y'all onto something: Komijnekaas. It's like a semi hard Gouda with cumin (and sometimes also caraway) seeds. Get an aged one that's slightly crystalized. I only know like one or two places to get it but if you ever come across it I swear it's some of the best
@wiIdbuffet I've only found it in a few specialized dutch markets. There's a German deli here that says they used to get it but their importer hasn't had it for a min
Fun fact every item in that grocery store “competing for your dollar” is owned and manufactured by one of maybe 6 parent conglomerates. You have been given the illusion of choice
