cowpies and roadkill are excluded from this offer

This Weblog used to claim "we're stuffing cheese in places you never dreamed about" in its tagline, and, although it may not have delivered on that promise, I'm still a lover of both metaphorical and gustatory cheese. So I was delighted when this week's ResearchBuzz newsletter featured the CheeseNet cheese reference site. Its World Cheese Index provides information on a variety of cheeses and is searchable by animal, texture, and country, among other things. Although the site says it is "intended to educate about different types of cheese from all over the earth," I was disappointed to find no information on cheese from Mexico and other non-Western cultures, so I dropped them a little note with their feedback form.

I'm disappointed by the lack of information your site has on Mexican and other Latin American cheeses. There seems to be a tacit eurocentrism in your approach to cataloging cheese.

Hopefully I'll be getting the nitty-gritty on Quesos Fresco and Oxaca in no time.
