Stop and Smell the Cheese.... no really, just do it!
Yesterday I was grocery shopping at the local Migros (the Swiss do not pronounce the S) and saw of all things a special cheese sale. There was a marked off section and at least 12 different types of cheese on display.
I had something in mind that I wanted to make that required a semi hard cheese. So, I just grabbed the cheese that met these requirements. When I got home and opened the cheese packaging I almost gagged. Whhhhhew smelly cheese. Fortunately I wanted the cheese for a meat dish that worked fine with a strong smelly cheese. The big problem is what to do with the rest of the cheese? It certainly can't hang around the fridge smelling up the whole kitchen. aiie, so now looking for other things to make with a strong smelly cheese.
I think I've learned my lesson on this one though. Stop and smell the cheese and don't worry about what the locals think of this strange American smelling the cheese in the supermarket.Labels: cheese, cultural differences, switzerland
