What is it with you people and food!?

Possumblog's Tasmanian stringer Simon Roberts set Chet the E-Mail Boy to tapping with this one:

Subject: Cheese!

It's been too long since you've written about food in general and cheese in particular.

Here is a site that may interest you.

Including answers to questions like:

"Limburger: How Old is Too Old?"

..and a Limerick that I barely understand:

In Zürich there is a physician
Who with cheese treats many conditions.
Implanting Sbrinz and Gruyére
Complaints disappear -
Replaced by Raclette dispositions.

One of the great things about having small children who are kind and loving is that they make great straight men. "Catherine, would you like Daddy to cut the cheese?"

"Yes, please."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Daddy--cut the cheese NOW!"

Heh. Silly Daddy. Almost as good as when we're driving and they all yell that we just passed a school bus. "Did it hurt, kids?" Always good for puzzled looks.

ANYWAY, back to cheese. As you all know, I am quite the cheese connoisseur. Seems like all of us have our favorites, but I am particulary smitten at the moment with the Nacho version of this. It's rich and flavorful on a saltine, or on your finger. AND it has that great trendy Southwestern flavor! MMmmm! Let me tell you, there's nothing like coming in after a hard day to a big wet gob of pressurized cheese.
