Again with the beer and cheese? Quiz!
Published by Becky S December 15th, 2004 in foodWhen preparing for last weekend’s festivities, I got excited and bought way too much food. I mean, who among us can exercise self-control around the lovely men of South Philly’s Di Bruno Bros. House of Cheese ? As for the beer, the store-bought supply paled in comparison to the homebrew provided by my friend Clair. He brought his award-winning Saison (wonderful with the Bucheron), Dubbel, a mighy fine pale ale, and some porter.
We ended up with over twenty kinds of beer, and even though I sent people home with six packs, I still have a few cases. Since I’m not a get-home-from-a-hard-day-of-work-and-pop-open-a-brewski kind of gal, I have some liquid refreshment that needs a good home.
By the way, since I failed this cheese quiz a few weeks ago, I decided to make up my own, featuring some items from the party (click on the picture for a larger view). Once I post the answers, I will lay off the beer and cheese posts.
Are you trying to make us answer so that you can offload number 3 to the winner? I would rather have beer, or really anything else really–but the clip art is apt. And I must note, that the cheddar’s are hard to place. I am emailing you my entry (so as not to influence others).
Thanks for taking the quiz, Sassy. I cried at my desk all morning because no one wanted to take the quiz.
If it’s beer you want, please do feel free to stop by and get a six pack to go. This offer is good for anyone in Philly who knows me and/or is a regular Good Grief! visitor (can’t have any unknown Internet people coming over).
My results:
You scored 5 out of a possible 8
Could do better. You’re an amateur when it comes to cheese identification: you may even, heavens forbid, buy your cheese ready-grated.
I actually don’t buy my cheese “ready-grated”, so I am a bit annoyed at that accusation.
I got a four when I took that quiz and got the same condescending message about pre-grated cheese. That’s why I made my own quiz.
I scored much better on my own quiz.
Do I ever feel dumb..I thought I knew a little bit about cheese, but you have proven me wrong. Guess I’ll stick to Velveeta and individually wrapped white American.
Mrs. Moon Pappy, don’t let Internet quizzes get you down. They’re for fun only. Just last night, I took a “what famous piece of literature are you quiz” and found out that I’m The Wasteland.
You always have good cheese at your house!
I think you should have put Minnesota Cheese curds on there just to throw people off of the cultured cheese path.
Gosh, Rebecca, I’d be happy to serve Minnesota cheese curds, but for some reason, they are not available at Di Brunos.
When will you have your beer quiz? I would take that. Although the thought of you having to explain why you were crying at work does amuse me.
Moon Pappy here: Although Moon Momma failed the quiz, I got 5 out of 8(which I thought was good considering on guessed on all but two questions). The source of the quiz still suggested I might “heaven forbid” purchase grated cheese. WHY NOT! Saves time!
Please have Clair make up a beer quiz for your readers. I and I am sure some of your readers would be interested in having some secrets and legends of beer making divulged.
