RE: Cars, bikes and parmesan cheese in Bologna, Italy.
Oh wow that Lamborghini museum is awesome. I don't think you could have ripped me away from that place. I would still be stood about there drooling.
Perhaps not a huge fan of the smelly cheese though, I was watching an episode of How Stuff is Made and they were letting the cheeses mature in wheels, stacked like in your picture and they were laced with cheese mites. Supposedly that is what gives the cheese an extra nutty flavour.
Resteeming, can't wait to hear about the Spyder.
Thanks @munchell! Yeah, cheese isn't for everyone. It smelt kinda...cheesy in there but that goes with the territory I suppose. The Lambo museum was great, as was the Ferrari one which I'll post about tomorrow if I get time. We try to do different things when we travel as well as some more traditional tourist stuff as well. We visit small out of the way towns, attend local festivals and markets etc. A great way to "get local" and truly learn about a place. Lambo and Ferrari was a bit extravagant but was worth it! I can still recall the power under my foot in that F430! Awesome! :)
I like these cars. I also like Rolls Royce. Have you checked out the Rolls Royce Ghost Series 2?
Hi @munchell, what are cheese mites? We had this one huge round block of cheese on our fridge once, with this weird white material stuck really deep into it. I think it was for making it rot faster.
We went to Italy two years ago and this one shop in Tuscany had these really smelly cheeses. Some of them had changed colour, they were purple and brown if I remember correctly.
I believe they are added to some of the cheeses to help give them their distinctive flavours.
They look like this.
Kind of puts you off eating cheese doesn't it?
AGGHH that is so disgusting... do they put it in all cheese?
