My sweetie pie is a devotee of podcasts, and pointed me towards this tale from The Moth Radio Hour.

It's the second story, starting at 7:00. Salty language alert.

When considering various cheesemaking areas of the world, East Africa is not usually the first region that springs to mind. However, between 2004-2006, I was offered the chance to do some extensive dairy development work with farmers and cheesemakers in Uganda, Kenya and Sudan.
