'365 Cheeses' is a guide you can take to the store
Kirk Samuels bills 365 Cheeses as a "yearlong course in cheese." He was educating himself, one day at a time.
The results of his research -- each with a photo -- are sorted here all sorts of ways -- alphabetically, by country or state of origin, by type (even "stinky cheeses"). Or you can see them all, chronologically, on one long, long page.
Here lie surprises: "Port Salut is what I call a breakfast cheese."
More surprises: Cheeses named Midnight Moon and Naked Goat and Lamb Chopper.
Mountains of packaged cheese wedges and rounds in the markets are bewildering. I'm going to browse this for cheeses I might like to try, make a list and take it shopping.
Top of my list:
38. Rothbury Red Leicester
Yes! This Red Leicester is a beautful cheese and so far my favorite new cheese I discovered this year. Not too sharp.

Wow ... a cheese a day ... that sounds awesome, but I wonder: did you enjoy it until the end? Or did it get old after a while (no cheese pun intended!)
