Stephen and Joy (Jim's brother and sister-in-law) bought some cheese for our New Years festivities in Holland.When they asked about the cheese on the left, the store employees could not translate what type (or flavor) of cheese it was. After asking an elderly woman in the store, they were told with confidence, that is was "poison ivy" cheese. Curious, they bought the cheese anyway and discovered that in actuality it was "Nettles" that flavored this cheese. Similar to poison ivy, but the sting doesn't last as long!
Actually, it was quite good! (With no sting at all~~) And we've since noticed that nettles are used in other foods here, too. Anyone interested?
