Cheesipedia — a missed opportunity

Cheesipedia wants to be a catalog of all the world's cheeses.

That sounds like a wonderful idea, doesn't it? Unfortunately, they're off to a bad start. One can forgive the people behind the site for being incomplete at this stage (no cheeses from Holland, and only a fraction of what France produces) but the site goes wrong by not having a proper index, and by trying to be funny. Cheese is serious business, and Cheesipedia (which is a great name) deserves a Wikipedia-like approach and structure. As it stands now it's a missed opportunity to become a useful reference.

If you're interested in French cheese ask this book for Christmas. It serves me well!
