# Ashkenazim hold that one should wait six hours after eating hard cheese before eating meat. <ref>Teshuvat Maharam Rotenburg cited by Bet Yosef OC 173, Rama YD 89:2. Taz 89:4 explains that the two reasons for waiting between meat and milk is because of meat getting stuck in your teeth and the taste remaining in your mouth.
