FEATURED CHEESE: Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar
Click here for an explanation of cheese ratings
Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar comes in two varieties: sliced and unsliced. The price on the packages is the same (at least at the grocery store where I shop) but you get slightly less cheese if you opt for the sliced. I usually choose the sliced because I am extremely lazy. Here's another admission: I prefer Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar to most frou-frou cheeses. It's just good, honest cheese. It's a cheese that's not afraid to be what it is. It's a cheese that stands up and says "Hey, I'm ordinary cheese -- and you know what? That's okay." There's no novelty packaging, no precious and almost certainly apocryphal backstory. None of that. It's just cheese. They'll even slice it for you. And in these troubled times, isn't that a comfort?
