When I was a young buck I did not cut much cheese, so I cut it with gusto.
As a silverback, I cut more cheese but also more carefully.

odd... since nearly all cheese is sold in plastic

Like in church or 30 seconds after the gondola leaves the bottom of the mountain?

If you are going to leave cheese out, be sure not to leave it where a moose can get it.

Same here. After we cut a slab of Romano, we wrap in plastic and put it in the fridge and have never had any problem even if it stay there a month.

I love cheese.

Who is that guy?

[Magnum44]

I believe its from ‘Encino Man’

[Hyman Roth]

Who cut the cheese 🧀?

[Semper Vigilantis]

Who cares, as long as it was a nice clean cut?

[tumblindice]

It’s always the dog.

[Donbue]

Thanks for that!
I was about to ask….‘isn’t cheese wrapped in plastic from the point of origin?’

R.B. Unripe cheese. Amazing! I did not know that! Learned something new today!

I do not generally buy Artisanal cheese from a Cheese Monger. I would like to but its usually a bit pricey. Our cheese is usually Walmart or maybe the grocery store white and presliced, or plastic jars of Parmesan (Not really Parmesan and containing wood dust to make it pourable.)

Charles de Gaulle once famously said, "How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?" We poke fun at the French calling them cheese-eating surrender monkeys, but they do know their fine food.

Whenever I stop at a Publix grocery store I get stuck at their display fridge full of international cheese with the atrocious prices. I try to move yet still stand there mesmerized, determined to bring a spare $100 next time and grab a few.

Found a page about good Cheese-of-the-Month Clubs (yes, still a thing). Isn't that grate?

Yikes!

Going to be hard to break the ziplock bag habit...

[Irish Eyes]

Yikes!

Going to be hard to break the ziplock bag habit...

I guess we just cut off the mold..mostly white and continue eating it.

[SuperLuminal]

Yes indeed...

What a cute little mouse. :)

I can go about 10 miles in any direction from my farm for All The Cheese. I like to make my own butter but haven’t attempted anything but the ‘soft’ cheeses so far.

New, ‘Post-Apocalyptic Skill Set’ coming up!
