Spelling help.... Cheese related

Help!

Goat's cheese

Or

Goats' cheese

Or

Goats cheese

Or

Goat cheese

Or shall I just put something different on the fucking menu?

The first one

It's easy. It's a possessive noun - ie the cheese of the goat, so it is goat's cheese.

Agree. Cow's milk, goat's cheese.

Great thanks - thought it was the top one but then got myself in knots about whether because it's a name of something it might not need the apostrophe....

Thanks again

Put something different on the menu.
It is always goat's cheese, and quite often it is the only option for starter and for the main course.
Or it is mushrooms.

Is it a veggie option? Because if so change it! It’s always goat’s cheese, or butternut risotto, or mushroom risotto, or a veggie puff pastry tart. Dull!

What’s it for? Have some excellent veggie options if you would like.

Always bloody goat's cheese. Pretty much every single sodding menu for the past 20-odd years. Before that you'd be offered fish or chicken.
Risottos are always mushroom or butternut squash and are usually just a pile of slop. *
Or as Mustard pointed out it will be a veg puff pastry tart.

If it is a wedding it will be asparagus risotto, which will be a moulded shape of rice with an asparagus spear or two on top.

Yeah, mushrooms ... love them BUT only 2 days ago I read a restaurant menu where the only (v) starter was garlic mushrooms bruschetta and the only (v) main course was gnocchi with wild mushrooms
what were they thinking???

It happens a lot.
It's because they are trying to think of something vegetarian.
If you're not a vege you'd think it sounds nice, but it is so often
one starter and one main, based around the same ingredient.

MikeUniformMike Ahhh not in my restaurant (presume you mean for veggies?) We also have buffalo mozzarella with vine tomatoes, homemade minestrone, ravioli porcini and a shed load of seafood options..... so hopefully that will keep,the non meat eaters happy

Ooo and melanzana parmigiana which is a big favorite

Yes, but is it one goat or many goats? 😉

Parmesan cheese is not vegetarian as it contains animal rennet. If you want to make it veggie friendly use a vegetarian parmesanalike cheese.

Make sure you check your spelling Caerphilly. You don’t want to Brie shown up

You could put 'goat's cheese' in Italian, assuming you run an Italian restaurant.

Goat's cheese is much better than mushroom risotto though!

Surely it would be goats' cheese?
It comes from more than one goat, so would be goats plural.

Ginfordinner no Parmesan in our melanzana parmigiana - optional on top at the table

Clearsommerspace dish is called Crostino Caprino in Italian but we have to put an English description for non Italian speakers

Seafood?!

I did say non meat eaters - so Include pescatarians in that Mike

Just being picky.
I'm sure that I would love your restaurant.
Getting hungry thinking about it.

It's goats' cheese... because is not all from one goat. Same with cows'.

Um, fromage de chèvre or fromages de chèvre? Perhaps "avec jus de canneberge??" (cranberry). Sorry. I'll shut up now with the French.

I'm not a vegetarian (never mind a vegan - I could cope with vegans better if they accepted that vegan choices have environmental and social impact too, and maybe, just maybe, those tomatoes they're tucking into have been picked in lousy weather conditions by human farm workers paid a pittance before they struggle back to their substandard accommodation, just as a for instance, and don't even get me started on quinoa, but hey, what do I know. It doesn't involve animal produce so it must be okay, right?) but I have several friends who are and I agree that menu choices are often very limited.

A few years ago after a Hallowe'en walk we got served pumpkin seeds that had been roasted with a dash of chili as a starter, followed by seasonal soup (leek and potato, I think it was) and they were yummy. Of course the hot chocolate at the end helped too...

Another veggie friend of mine does a lovely, incredibly easy gently oven-baked kale with a drop of olive oil, and another starter that she does that's lovely is baked figs with goats cheese sprinkled over the top and a dash of balsamic vinegar.

Hungry now!!
