I have an interesting story about at least one of these cheeses.. At my restaurant in Houston, we were fortunate enough to host an early anniversary gathering of the original Mercury Astronauts..
We were especially careful not to interfere with any of the celebrities’ that frequented our French Restaurant, and they appreciated our effort.. However, against my own rule, I inserted my big nose in this party by switching the entree with a bottle of TANG, on a bed of lettuce, covered by a silver dome..
When the white gloved, waiters, with a coordinated motion, removed the lids of this brilliant surprise, none on them even smiled.. YIKES! They just looked up and asked how long before dinner would be.. *^$$*
Finally, as a way to redeem myself, I sent a massive cheese board, with every expensive Cheese we served, and at least 2 of these cheeses were present, one was, Long Clawson White Stilton Gold Cheese.. One of the most prominent Astronaut, tasted that cheese and promptly upchucked into his napkin..
We never hosted the team again.. I wonder why? Hmmmmm
Awesome story Carlo .... Thanks for sharing that with us. Funny stuff.
Hope yer well....stay safe !
We sent men to the moon for green cheese and came back empty handed!
