why I won't buy a k3 (Warning: Satire Thread)

magkelly · 05-04-2015, 07:42 AM

When I was a kid I used to like Velvetta, but then again I hadn't tasted anything much by way of real cheddar back then. I grew out of it. Now I like tons of real cheeses, but my favorite is Cotswold. (Double Gloucester with Chives for the uninitiated.) But I never liked Vienna sausages and frankly the idea of combining that makes me slightly ill to think of it. Spam, even worse, I mean UGH...

Just add insult to injury why don't you? Yech!

Mag, if you like cheddar, try some Cabot Seriously Sharp, or Tillamook Extra Sharp. mmmmmmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmmmmm

I like a nice jarlesburg cheese.

We went thru Tillamook this weekend on a weekend road-trip. There's a nice wedge of extra-sharp (5 yrs) white cheddar waiting in the fridge... MMMmmmmmmmmm

Cabot's good too, but Tillamook's my favorite... Pics from the cheese factory later

Well, vegemite will probably make you lose your appetite, yeah...

Well, stop it.

Last time I checked my tax money subsidised the export of Jarlsberg cheese to the US - to the tune of about $2000 per tonne.

WTO has come trotting in their shining white armour every few years and tried to stop the subsidies. No success so far, I believe.

So just stop it, ok?

Thanks for helping me get that nice cheese. I appreciate it.

Don't get us closed down.

We can talk about the cheese, and other victuals, but not the politics of how they get to our tables.

I've had them both. Didn't care much for the Cabot but the Tillamook was pretty good. I prefer my cheddar a little less sharp actually...

Politics? What? Where? Not me! No sirree!

If I can see more cheese ahead it's because I stand on shoulders of pentaxians.

I'm far too busy figuring out how many crystals it takes to cover a Pentax QS1 to even care that there is a K3II looming. Q is far too pleased with my new toy... grin....

I certainly hope that your Q is better at staying out of trouble!

And congrats

Lettuce not forget the bacon.
In this case, a cured and smoked portion of Boston butt:

Have you had Colliers Powerful Cheddar?

Nope, haven't seen it here, unfortunately...
