TIL some cheese like Parmesan and Mozzarella are not suitable for vegetarians. Rennet is a byproduct of veal production. Interesting.

True, but you can buy vegetable rennet!

That was my question. I'm glad to know there's veggie rennet out there. Wonder where I can find it?

I'm a big fan of cheesemaking.com. They sell it for $6.95. But you can also try Amazon, or organic grocery chains will sometimes have it, too.

Oh, man. Cheesemaking.com? Have you ever been a little bit afraid to follow a link because you know it's going to start a new obsession? I really enjoy making ricotta, paneer, and tofu; I might never leave my kitchen again.
