Thread Name: BS: Grated Cheese
Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese
One cheese two cheese
Cream cheese, blue cheese
This cheese has a little rind
This cheese causes one to "bind"
My goodness - look at all the cheese we find!




Seriously - cheese is so versatile - so yummy - and there is such a variety of it! One of the groceries was having a "blue cheese" special last week - they had to have had close to twenty different varieties - and they ranged from a soft (ripened) cheese to a very hard grating cheese - the "blue" veins actually ranged from white, to green, to light blue, to a very dark blue; while the bodies of the cheese also ranged through white to dark orange. I wish I'd had more money - I would have gone on a cheese tasting orgy!

Lately I've tended to take cheese trays to parties or other gatherings that are "pot lucks" - usually because of convenience - I don't have to keep something refrigerated and or hot - and I usually am heading to the function from work - which makes it even more difficult. and now you can get a good variety - unlike when I was a kid and all you could find was cheddar; "american"(= fake) and if you were LUCKY - mozzerella - maybe some cans of the dried up grated parmesan.
