  • I'm snobby about cheese

    tomreedtoon alleges that I'm rich and disconnected from the rest of the world because I occasionally like semi-expensive cheese.

    But I like eating cheese for its own sake, and not just because a recipe calls for it. If the cheese is not incorporated into a dish, the complexities (or lack of same) are readily apparent. Generic "parmesan style" cheese just doesn't have the complex nutty aromas or textures that I'm looking for when I savor cheese on its own.
