Pecorino v Parmigiano v Mozzarella

Not a choice, I could eat all three in the same meal.

I mean proper Mozz di Bufala is definitely the most delicious of these eaten on its own, but I couldn't imagine sprinkling that on pasta, and pasta would be sadder without the other two.

I've put it on pasta before because I am shameless. But the water content tends to make everything goopy.

I'd rather have the other two than mozzarella di bufala, but maybe I don't know the proper stuff as well as the more quotidien stuff?

I have fond memories (and photos) of eating pecorino under the Palatine Gate in Turin, from the big market right there, just biting off chunks off the big morceau we'd bought.

mozz just gets kind of lost on pasta, it's not terrible it's just a waste

Polling these makes no sense

Pecorino Romano is like anchovies: essential in cooking, but not really edible on its own

I mean, you could

I have

It's salty

pecorino on its own is delightful. truffle pecorino especially

I always want Pecorino to be more to my liking than it is.

yeah, it kinda has some weird, sour aftertaste doesn't it?

on my honeymoon i went to puglia and one meal we had came with an appetizer that was literally just an enormous ball of fresh mozzarella on a plate and i was like a+ best restaurant ever

spent last week on the French side of the Italian border and enjoyed delicious pecorino romano so I voted for that. I think at this point I like sheep cheeses more than cow cheeses.

for eating on their own i also prefer sheep

but parm is such a staple ...

seems legit, parmesan must be more influential
