FEATURED CHEESE: Cotswold
Click here for an explanation of cheese ratings
Named after the Cotswold region in England, where it was first made, this is a hard, cheddar-like cheese seasoned with chives and onions. It’s pretty good. Not excellent, but edible. I’m giving it three mice.
By the way, note the above picture. Isn’t that nice? You might assume that I simply grabbed it from another website. In fact, no. I spent several hours setting that shot up, making sure the cheese was perfectly centered on the plate, getting the lighting just right. Notice how a couple of tomatoes are peeking into the frame, adding some much-needed color. I did that. And then, on the right, we see the bottom edge of a large wheel of cheese. I bought that large wheel of cheese just for this picture. It cost me some money (I had to buy that plate, too) and took most of a weekend. So why did I go to all that trouble? Because I care, damn it. I care.
