Please tell me this is a real SE question

Q: How can one order cheeses for a cheese tasting event?

I read on https://www.northlightfoods.com/blog/2015/12/15/host-your-own-cheese-tasting-party: Organize your cheese tasting order from mildest cheese to strongest cheese. That's a typical advice I used to hear in France. However, I was told that cheese strength is subjective, and may be a factor...

I have gone on a pilgrimage to upvote bob1's historical comment and succeeded

@lyxal what is the biggest spider that you have ever seen?

a bit bigger than a fist iirc

just the body?

did you ever see any snakes in your house?

that's also in desert areas and jungle areas

not in cities

1:13 PM

did you see any organism in your house?

yes

I looked in a mirror and saw myself

@lyxal ~~a kangaroo?~~

@lyxal ah yes yourself

@PyGamer0 unlike spiders and snakes, I can't be found in desert areas

lol

@PyGamer0 once again, desert areas or zoos

a lot of the fun stuff isn't on the coasts

1:15 PM

so almost everything is found in the deserts?

except the ocean

that's on the coasts

yes

like me, oceans can't be found in desert areas

oceans can only be found in the ocean areas

however, I am not an ocean area

please do not confuse me with ocean areas and desert areas

@lyxal whoops sorry man my bad :b

1:19 PM

@lyxal so what are you?

not an ocean area

so that makes you?
