I am allergic to cheese. I have been, all my life. I am very ill if I have any - to be polite - just say it is a severe case of travel sickness!!!
I was about 8, when I learnt that eating "game food", no matter how presitgious (venison -- ooooh, la, la, for some, *barf* for me <g>), caused the ultimate table disgrace, just like some more common meats (liver, kidneys, sweetbreads, heart, goose. But *not* tripe, brains, or duck. Go figure <g>) I'm allergic to *both* honey and cheese, but more to honey than cheese. So indulge in honey 3-4 times a year (a very small jar of pine-drippings or thyme honey takes care of my cravings for 2 yrs <g>), and in yellow cheese about once a month or less; thankfully, most of the yellow cheese available here is either not worth eating (cheap, but yucky), or else not worth buying (tasty, but out-of-sight expensive <g>) The buttermilk in the pot cheese I make for DH seems to make things easier, but I can't eat even that (or yogurt, or sour cream) more often than once a week... It's a *major* pain in the butt, since Polish cooking stands supported by two main pillars: sour cream on one side, and dill on the other... :)
