Most young cheeses are too delicate, but having smooth delicate flavors is sometimes better than the bold flavors that many aged cheeses that stink up your living room. Although I still like the ones that stink the most the most. And one thing that bugs me is that no one seems to know that there is such a thing as sheep's milk cheeses, and those are really good cheeses.
    As for the list of cities, I've never seen semicolons used that way although I suppose one could do that to avoid confusion. But I would much rather, if I were to write such a thing, write merely the names of the cities, and if there were cities whom shared the same name I would then extrapolate on that in a later sentence, or perhaps divide the clauses with a lovely semicolon.
    Smoky gouda!

    and @yisk yes it is extremely incovenient to put a point with a pencil; god knows all of my periods look like commas and then I have to make them semicolons due to my inherent bias towards erasers of all sorts which no doubt stems from my American background.

    It's right next to censoring yourself to sound more "tolerant"

    Did you just tell Grey to go 'censor' himself. I'll second that.
