We like Huntsman cheese....it's a nice Double Gloucester [cheddar-like] layered with Stilton cheese ...very festive served on a cheese tray for the upcoming holidays.

I have had that type of combination before. It is wonderful on whole wheat water biscuits.

Where have we seen this kind of excess...hmmmm... Through out history? This is how the very rich have always lived, the only difference is that now many more people are, by past standards, fabulously wealthy.
Now the upper middle class finds such items with in reach as for the rest of us, we can read about it.

That’s pretty extravagant. And is it healthy to eat metal?
But how about those “heritage” turkeys?
One of the powerline guys said his wife made an Amish Heritage Turkey and gave a link. The cost is about $8.00 a pound!
Has anyone had one? Are they really 8 times better than a regular turkey?
I mean, you know, it’s turkey.

I will try that. We like brie a lot and it will be good to have a nice American outfit to support.
The best brie I ever had I got in some real cheese shop in Brooklyn.
So, I hope your recommended brand will be as good.

True enough. It's the mainstreaming that is the thing. It is genuinely contrary to the bedrock principles of our culture and only inflames resentment and desire - flaunting, if you will. Historic Americanism values work, thrift and Judeo-Christian values but, hey, food eaten in secret is sweet - as the Bible says. It also says that those who eat dainties shall eat dung cakes. I'm not calling for an abolition of this kind of behavior, just regret that the culture is so sodden with idiocy to the detriment of solid values that will carry the most people the longest distance.

Thanks. Its good to know that you dont want to outlaw really expensive cheese. : ),
Thats not to say I would, even if I could afford it, buy cheese with gold flex in it for $93 a pound as I dont think that would improve the flavor at all. But then I do like some fine imported cheeses and I love Stilton, Huntsman, Brie and in a head nod to my Norwegian heritage, some good imported Gjetost during the Christmas season. I can get them all at my local Wegmans so Im both thrifty and supporting a fine American company. And I gladly share them with my family and friends.
I work hard, pay my bills and am pretty thrifty all year long but during Christmas, I may splurge a bit on some treats.
And I like me some very good dark chocolate and make no secrete about eating it. Ill however pass on the dung cakes, with or without the gold flex. :) ,

Freedom is freedom. However, our system works when we govern ourselves in line with our Nation's core values, er, morality. Nothing wrong with splurges or specialties; it is the flagrant excess that is symptomatic of deeper disorders. Heck, I wet my pants earlier this year when if found and bought a 100 year old corn sheller for $60. The wife thought is was excess (she's never done the job) but I say it was soundly spent money. But this kind of thing (and it's all about crapping gold - that's the end product and the upfront truth), well, when brainless consumption is popularized you get teenagers shooting other kids for $250 sneakers.
I can't change it and I wouldn't pass a law to ban it - never. Just sad that a fine nation is devolving so clearly into a pagan cesspool.

What you and I might think of as a flagrant excess might not be so much of a flagrant excess to someone else.
My nephew for instance is extremely bright and very hard working and successful and a few years ago he bought a BMW sports car (not a new one but a previously owned one for a very good price). I was shocked however when he told me it cost nearly a $1,000 just to replace the headlamps. I drive a 4 cylinder 8 year old Toyota with a manual transmission that I bought used. I cringed when I had to spend $300 on new tires : ).
Do I resent my nephew? No. Do I think hes delving into a pagan cesspool because he wanted and could well afford a very expensive car that I couldnt? No. He supports his wife and their two children very well, his hard work and creativity creates jobs for others, he is responsible and actually quite frugal in many ways, he pays his taxes, is putting a lot away in savings and for his retirement and is generous in helping his family and friends when they need help.
He is living what I would consider the American Dream and Im very proud of him.
And I dont really care how someone else chooses to spend their own money as long as they are not confiscating, redistributing and spending mine.
When you talk about brainless consumption you sound a bit like you would be more comfortable hanging around with the OWS crowd as that is part of their mantra. I dont think you are but you might want to consider that when demonizing others for what they choose to spend on things you think are flagrant excesses.

Did you also lament the mainstreaming of pepper and other spices which were also once only with in the reach of the very wealthy? Are they contrary to our bedrock principles?
How about wearing silk rather than wool or linen rather the tow? John Hancock's outfits with their gold embroidery would have given Liberace a run for his money. Was he not part of "Historic America"?
Chocolate? Sugar?
Also not part of our bedrock values and traditions? Maybe we should drink ale or only water?
I think it is interesting that we have created a world where such things are actually in reach of many rather then being in a world were only a few thousand on the whole earth could even dream of it while the rest ate bread that had a lot of chaff in it.
Now I do think it is silly (the gold leaf not the cheese) but I think a lot of things are silly without regarding them as the end of a culture.

“I prefer select aged goobermint cheese, especially from the Eisenhower administration.”
LOL! Between growing up poor in inner-city Milwaukeestan to 20 years in the Army - that cheese means ‘home’ to me. My Grandma could make the BEST Mac-n-Cheese from our Free Goobermint Cheese. I still crave it! :)

Me, too. And I gave up Brie a long time ago. However, some store brand Cream Cheese on a store-brand Ritz with a plop of store brand grape jelly on top can kind of fool you...until better days come your way again. Worked for me! :)

Huntsman - one of my faves, too! Need a trip to ‘Cheesers’ in beautiful downtown Stoughton, WI to git me some!
