MOZZARELLA?
(Assuming you can get Goat's Milk Mozzarella instead of the usual Buffalo?)

No goat has ever contributed to Mozzarella as far as I know but you're way closer than the other answerer.

I am appalled to discover that the EU classification does not stipulate the type of milk required (really, what is the fricking point of a Traditional Specialities Guarantee that doesn't actually guarantee the tradition at all - my referendum vote swings ever further!) so it would appear that you are correct. Still not the right answer though.

I get the feeling you are going to be up again tomorrow!

I get that feeling every time I post one!

Maybe you overcomplicate them?
Oh well, that's your four hours! So what was the answer?

Got me thinking: What's the worst example of misuse of a spreadsheet you've seen?
Mine was a spreadsheet being used for production management: it clearly started small as a simple stock level check, but evolved to end up including:
InventoryAssembly instructionsSubassembly instructionsPurchasingResource management (including human assemblers and their holiday requirements)Project CostingInvoicing.Remember: this was a spreadsheet, and it was all done with cell functions, no macros or VBScript...it took around 45 minutes to open each day...
But it worked! So it didn't get replaced, just added to.
Tim: This was all your fault!
What's yours?

I have seen a lot big companies fron the "inside", and you cannot even begin to imagine what is handled using excel sheets.
To me, the fact that it is so easy to program is partially responsible for the big mess. Making everybody to a potential sw developer was not the best idea.

I have 2, the first one was for a car distributor in Oz, I did their entire cashflow projection in excel. Pulling data from a myriad of sheets, an AS400 and a bank feed. When I told the MD I had failed to get an accurate figure as it was about $200k out he was delighted, they had never got closer than $500k.
The second was a contract for a financial org as in finance supplier not a bank. Their entire operation was run on spreadsheets, no database, nothing. I spent a day looking into the mess and rejected the contract. 2 years later they went tits up owing millions to joe public.

A project management system spanning twenty or so files and hundreds of tabs, all with cross references and formulas and "special solutions".
When the guy that managed it went into pension the whole house of cards fell apart and the company barely survived.
I was luckily not involved.

I learnt spreadsheeting on Lotus 123. I had a project to put together some sheets to calculate costings for digging cable trenches back in the 80's. It started as the engineer providing routing data and then calculating the dig cost, then it evolved to the engineer giving topographical data and it worked out the cheapest route. No macros, just pure cell functionings. A great piece of work.
Later I was involved in an abomination that even the scryptboyz would run a mile from. It pulled had pushed into it holdings, prices and greeks for a portfolio and it produced the program trade list for sending to brokers. I was able to reproduce it as a component within the system that held the real correct and valid data, instead of lumps of guess work that were as stable as jelly in an earthquake. The new component even allowed some fiddling with the results as that was the reasoning behind the bastard child of a bastard that was in use. The brain-fecked traders 'preferred' to use the spreadsheet...
