All my life I turned my nose up at vivid orange cheddar cheese. A couple of years ago I wanted to try English Cheddar and I found Murray’s.
So yesterday I was buying my English cheddar. I found I like the English better than the Irish. This other customer and I got into a conversation about cheeses. She was buying a variety to treat her women friends at a gathering.
One of the cheeses you picked up was a stilton with bueberries in it. She said it is a wonderful cheese to have a breakfast. She sold me. I picked up a wedge to buy with my cheddar.
I just had half of it for lunch. Now I am sold by my mouth. It is not as firm as the cheddar, but is a bit crumbley. I can’t really describe the taste and mouthfeel but it was very pleasant.
The remainder will be for breakfast tomorrow.
The irony is that I don’t eat meat on Friday. It’s an old Catholic thing and I am an old Catholic.
Part of my growing up was in New Orleans and Fridays were not a day of penance but of feasting on the bounty of the Gulf of Mexico. I didn’t learn about suffering ha ha, until we moved to Texas to tuna salad sandwiches and fish sticks.
So yesterday I bought 2 small amounts of cheese that cost as much as 4 gallons of gasoline.
I hope that our Krogers keep Murray’s.
