Would you assume a restaurant pizza's "house cheese blend" contains some parmesan cheese?

It’s called innovation.

Also, classic according to whom? The American definition of “pizza?”

Connecticut, obviously.

Many people have an aversion to butyric acid. The smell and taste is akin to vomit. It’s probably genetic if the entire family hates parm.

So the family should stick to grilled cheese or basic macaroni and cheese. Pizza will more often than not have garlic and parmesan. Most people prefer a little flavor to their pizza.

Problem exists between plate or chair.

Related: if you ordered a "turkey sandwich", would yo expect it to arrive with parmesan on top?

Connecticut pizza is one of the best in the country??

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Thank you, PP, I needed a good laugh.

Umm...yes? You never heard of New Haven pizza?

Sally’s is the best Connecticut pizza. That doesn’t make it one of the best pizzas in the country.

Even if true, that's like saying someone is the best hockey player in Panama. BFD

Yeah idk why everyone is gaslighting like parm (and other Italian cheeses) don’t have a funkier smells and tastes than simple shredded mozzarella. Parm especially has a very pronounced stinky smell.

Parmesan is considered a mild cheese.

Yes I would. If my kids were fussy eaters I'd ask before ordering

It's mild, not completely devoid of taste/smell.

DP. Again, for those obsessed with butyric acid, I'll point out that it is also found in breastmilk, which is fairly mild smelling.

It's not a marker of princess status to be able to feel a pee, nor is it one to find Parmesan to smell like vomit. Let's be real here. If you don't like it, then you don't like it. If cilantro tastes like soap to you, then you have a genetic quirk that gives you this perception -- same as for those who find Parmesan to be unacceptably strong-smelling.

Just .. let it go. Don't design your identity around this sort of trivia.

Parmesan is a hard cheese. Hard cheeses are ripened longer than softer cheese, have low water content, and are crumbly in texture. The long maturation time develops strong flavors, depth of flavors and strong aromas. I can't think of a hard cheese that is considered mild. Among other things, they usually have a higher sodium content because of how concentrated they are, which instantly makes them taste less mild. I had a roommate who was a cheese buyer.

I don't think anyone is priding themselves on being turned off by butyric acid, that is your own obsession. The reason I know this is because I used to work with butyric acid in a lab setting, and it was everyone's worst nightmare when someone spilled a few drops. We all ran out of the lab. It allowed me to understand why one of my kids noticed an odor that the rest of us were fine with. OP posted that her kids don't like parmesan and I posted that the reason most likely is that they are sensitive to butyric acid. Not sure why you are so disturbed. And hope you can "feel a pee" better than you can feel a pea! Thanks for the laugh.

I'm glad something is making you laugh, because those rants on BA are humorless AF.
