Beyond Skyrim:The Merits of Shrieking Cheese

hrieking Cheese is one of the most obscure, yet delightful, delicacies in all of Tamriel. It is, of course, more common in Hammerfell, its nation of origin, yet I would speculate that it will soon become a staple feature of Imperial cuisine as well.

Allow me, dear reader, to explain to you the wonders of this wonderful cheese.

Shrieking Cheese possesses a delicate yet pungent aroma, making it a perfect companion to blander foods such as bread. I've even heard that many Argonians enjoy eating it alongside their shank and potato pie.

Shrieking Cheese also has a delightful texture. One bites into it and finds a hard, resistant, almost rubbery consistency. But once your teeth sink deep into the Shrieking Cheese, you will discover a delightful, watery, melt-in-the-mouth taste sensation.

Of course, all of this discussion of taste and texture belies Shrieking Cheese's most outstandingly outlandish characteristic: the characteristic (and somewhat jarring, for the inexperienced) shriek it lets out when it is fully-cooked. The Redguards enjoy serving it to foreigners for this very reason - as a sort of culture shock prank, if you will. No doubt, the shriek of Shrieking Cheese might unsettle those new to it, but I urge you to look beyond this and discover a rare delicacy indeed.
