I don't think it is snobbish to occasionally treat myself to a piece of
Balderson's 5yr old cheddar instead of the waxy-plasticy supermarket "old".
However, there's no way I would use the former in a cheese-melt.

Maybe she can only find good cheese if she travels to the foothills of
the Andes, spends the night in a trekker hut and milks the Peruvian
cow herself.

There you go: good cheese from your own country. No Swiss snobbery, no
importing of unique "can't get that here" cheeses.

Of course there are good Canadian cheeses to make fondue with. You
have experienced cheese makers, you have cows and you have grass.
Voilà!

There's nothing snobbish about eating cheese. However, if you think that your cheese preferences makes you better than regular Joes, you could be a snob. Being a snob makes you a person of low moral character. Pride is the first of the seven deadly sins and you could land up in hell for eternity being forced to eat sardines dipped in Cheez Whiz - unless, of course, you happen to like sardines dipped in Cheez Whiz.

If I am, I'm chucking it at nobody in particular. Do you see me aiming at anybody? Should I be throwing it at a poster? Let me know who that person is and I'll pray for Jesus to smite/smote him with magic thunderbolts.

Regular snobs are a dime a dozen. The inverse snob OTOH, now that sounds interesting!

My comments were not directed towards him. The truth is that I'm not paying that much attention to this thread nor am I keeping score.

The opposite is common too. Glorifying average Joe-ness. Or average

That's the Hawaiians for you. It's a state that is made of former peons and plantation workers and we don't like folks that think they're better than other people. So sue me. Ha ha.

If you live in an area that does not have good cheese, they probably
don't carry the kits either.

To have it on the spur of the moment, you have to have good bread on and
to dip too.

If you like them, go for it. Never tried one so I have no idea how good
or bad they are.

I understood exactly what you were implying. You ain't that deep or clever. Did you understand with I was saying?

That's not true at all. I'm going to end this biggest dick contest because I don't have time to waste and Google limits the number of posts I can do in a time period. What the hell, are you a lonely boy? Please "interact" with the other lonely boys on this group. Thanks!

"What did you not understand about the inability to find decent
cheese?" (SF)

Weren't you referring to your own inability to find decent cheese
where you live, which is, if I'm not mistaken, San Francisco?

If you want to know if a pizza is frozen, just touch it. If it feels
really cold, it's frozen and you have to bake it first. Don't just dig
in. You'll be disappointed.

I prefer what I make because I don't like Emmenthaler - so I use
Jarlsberg instead.
