This was hysterical. What I loved most wasn't even the burrata take—it was how thoroughly you built the case. The history, the marketing, the quotes... it felt like watching someone prepare a legal brief to be argued in front of the cheese Supreme Court. And I feel less alone knowing I’m not the only one confused by the appeal.

I love that! I wish I was actually that organized. Glad it looks that way from where you're sitting and you enjoyed the piece. Thanks for reading and commenting.

As someone who likes burrata, I was mentally prepared to disagree with this.

Instead, I laughed all the way through it!!

And ruining a salad with a glass of milk is actually a great point.

Completely agree! Tasteless at best, offending texture at its worst.

This was so funny: Because, again, it’s fucking milk, guys. Do you know what I say if I spill a glass of milk on my plate of nicely-tossed salad? I say “oh, fuck, I just ruined my goddamn salad. I guess I’ll throw that away.”
