This is my third post in a row about cheese. Does it seem like I'm obsessed? Well, maybe I am. Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese. I ate cheese on pizza the other day and I would have ordered cheesecake for dessert but they didn't have desserts at the pizza parlor. (Thank you, George Takei, for the meme.)
I guess I never realized how much I enjoyed cheese until I had to give it up. It's such an important part of so many dishes. What would grilled cheese sandwiches be without the cheese? I decided to answer that question today and open the package of Daya cheddar cheese-like shreds. A little Earth Balance butter-like spread and some whole grain bread and I was on my way.
First impression wasn't great. Something smelled a little fishy. Was it the margerine? Or the cheese? Or the bread. I wasn't sure, but I decided to proceed with caution. The "cheese" did melt as the package promised but it laid between the bread like a thin slice of cold Velveeta, kind of rubbery and shiny and a bit slimy. It didn't have a strong taste so had it not looked like cheese, I'm not sure I would have made the connection.
Over all
