A Thanksgiving scenario
Published by Becky S November 29th, 2005 in miscellaneous fluff, food
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you were at a Thanksgiving celebration with smart and cultured people like college professors and opera singers and writers and astronomers, all of whom are connected to the best friends of the parents of someone you’re dating, and you accidentally sent a huge hunk of New Zealand cheddar flying across the living room, where it landed at the feet of a Department of Homeland Security employee who is probably adding you to a list of very dangerous people even as we speak?

top marks for using *new zealand* cheddar cheese. as i’m always saying, ‘quality’ diary terrorism has been on the wane for years but it is good to see someone addressing this decline in standards …
No, just funny
At least you weren’t flinging hummus around the room … or were you?
What has “accidentally sending a huge hunk of New Zealand cheddar flying across the living room” got to do with Auguste Rodin?
Use your imagination, anonymous!
Whitebait, I hope this statement isn’t too inflammatory, but Southern Hemisphere cheddars leave something to be desired.
I thought that Rodin burgher was either a) flinging some cheese himself or b) expressing great sadness at the loss of some delicious cheddar.
Perhaps the statue is just pensive in anticipation of Max Raabe’s arrival in our fair burg….
Yes, a little
Something to be desired … aerodynamically?
Well, whitebait has pinned me down–I believe that Australian and New Zealand cheddars leave something to be desired in the taste department.
There, I said it. No offense meant to those in the Southern hemisphere.
But, but … he says scrambling to muster some drop of patriotic culinary fervour. No, it ain’ gonna happen. And I don’t think Whitebait is up to an 8000 word article persuading you of the merits of the finest south island cheddars. Maybe it was something in the shipping process - they do taste good when eaten *in* the southern hemisphere. Hope you will try that sometime.
No. Jalapeno jack though is suitable cause for a cavity search right there during the feast, so I might begin to feel out of sorts about it all at that juncture.
