Understandable, were you also aware that buyers and sellers used to partake in a ritual system called "handjeklap"? It involved both clapping each other's hands while shouting prices.
Indeed, the price of Gouda has been disputed a long time. In the Middle Ages, buyers negotiated price with a system called ''handjeklap,'' which involved clapping hands and shouting prices.
I'm looking for a new recipe and want to experiment with gouda cheese.  Do you have any ideas? I lack that information, I only know that Gouda cheese is a mild, yellow colored cheese. So it's mild.  That's great to know. What else can you tell me about gouda? It's one of the oldest, still made type of cheese in the world, it was first mentioned back in 1184. 1184?  That's amazing.  I had no idea about the history of gouda.  I've wanted to cook with it for a while now, but it's expensive.
Buyers then sampled the cheeses and negotiated a price using a ritual system called ''handjeklap'' in which buyers and sellers clap each other's hands and shout prices.
