Yesterday I was at Whole Foods grabbing my usual lunch, an apple and maybe a cheese stick or some nuts. I’m having some minor withdrawals from the closing of Borders book store next door and found myself wandering around the cheese island for what seemed like forever. Mesmerized by all the different names, colors, textures and smells I ended up with this wonderful little idea. Instead of grabbing that same old cheese stick, I would pick up a small wedge of a different cheese from this beautiful island every other day or so. I’ll get two or three dollars worth and a piece of fruit until I have tasted most if not all of the cheeses. Sounds like a lot of cheese but I think I’m up for the challenge.
The first cheese I picked up was this awesome smoked Provolone. I went with the butt end piece to get the more of the smokey flavor. It was a super nice soft Provolone with just the right amount of smoke so I’m very happy with my first choice. Jenn, I think she’s the manager of the cheese section, informed me that it was the best seller of of the smoked cheeses and I can taste why. It’s also one of the more affordable cheeses so that I’m sure adds to it’s popularity.
I started with the smoked because I know it’s one of J’s favorite kinds of cheese but I soon found out that she’s not very fond of Provolone. As a matter of fact she doesn’t really like it at all. So a major fail in her book but my question is this. Who doesn’t like Provolone? I mean really, is that even possible?
