This one I knew!

[1] Not me...

A little bit of salt, then ... you can read the name (or most of the name) of #1 on its side.

I'm from Wisconsin - and I'm still having problems with #6.

edit: [5] Thanks. I wasn't expecting the country name to be included in the type.

That's because it's from Northern Europe.

I found these, but mostly through blind searching for names that fit on cheese.com. Am I alone in thinking that different cheeses don't really look different enough from each other to make this a good puzzle?

[6] No, you are not alone. ;-)

Personal knowledge certainly is a factor in how much work something's going to be. To me, video-game screen shots all look pretty much the same.

Perfectly Unfeaturable!

Now I'm hungry. Is it lunchtime yet?

I'm stuck on five

[6] Perhaps I suffer from Image Recognition Disorder (IRD), because I have the same problem, whether the subject is obscure entertainers, video games, or cheeses!

[8] and [9] Excellent points!

[11] It's a cheese from southern Italy, aged at least 4 months and is more flavorful than mozzarella.

[11] wikipedia says it's one of the most common cheeses used in cheesesteak sandwiches -- ahead of Cheez Whiz!

[14] Mmmmm cheesesteak...that's what I had for dinner last night, washed down by a Killian's Irish Red!

I got one or two, and then a crossword solver using the clue "cheese" and the few letters I had got the rest.

I certainly think video screens are different even if I can't identify what they are. The cheeses to me are quite similar. I still have got a place to even start on the cheeses. Maybe if they all came from the same country?

Edit cheese.com and several friends got this for me

Hey, the "Flag this comment" is back! When did that happen?

I need some wine to go with my cheese... this was hard!

mmmmm.... [off to search in the fridge for cheddar sticks...]

love tineye!!

Pretty tough five points!

[21] didn't help me for even a one....

92nd, thanks to [16], otherwise, ughhhh; the one with the country as part of the name was WAY too difficult--The southern italy salt is where I started and then all fell into place...

Overall, I did "Pourly", as it took me a long time since I did not think it was a "Gouda" puzzle, but now I'm done, so I don't give "Edam"... (meant to be punny, not salty...cannot be held responsible for incidental salt)

3 years after feature and I only missed the top 100 by 6 positions! *sigh*
