Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Which of the Swiss cheeses is the one that people call "Swiss cheese"?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

My guess is it's Emmentaler.

This seems to be a very American infographic.

Same for raclette. That's a process, not a cheese name. Might as well call Gruyere "fondue cheese"

I also laugh when folks refer to a cheese variety as "goat."

(A goat is not cheese)

But, in Switzerland we have type of cheese we call "fromage a raclette", so even if it's a process, we wouldn't use Emmentaler or gruyere for making a raclette.
