Cheesy story from the pub

Jaimie enjoys a pint
with smoked cheese
They have their own twist (tee hee) on cheese strings here in Kazakhstan. I'm not sure how far this little trinket of culture spreads ... maybe in Russia and the 'stans too? Apparently it has its origins in the nomadic lifestyle and the herds of sheep and associated milk ... blah blah blah. Anyway, they smoke the cheese, somehow prepare it in stringy strips, and It's served on a plate in a pub. Take a string, wind it round your finger and nibble away as you enjoy your pint. It's quite smokey cheese, delish!
