Eggs, smoked cheddar. Not crazy about the cheddar. Its more like “smoked flavored”.

Finally learned to stop overcrowding my cast iron and got a very decent crust on a VERY cheap steak. This was that 4.99 per pound eye round I posted in the crimes against nutrition thread. 11 hours in the sous vide at 122 and seared in wagyu tallow made it VERY decent

I love the crispy pepperonis on the crust. I’m not a big fan of pepperoni generally, but I do love it when it’s all crunchy.

It’s weird. But forty years ago Colby cheese was everywhere in Canada and now it has almost completely disappeared; basically a specialty cheese shop thing.
My new theory? People from Wisconsin don’t talk with an accent. Probably you’ve just never heard them sober??

That is kinda odd. It has been very common my entire life (53 years).
The only thing unusual was that my wife chose it and she usually goes with milder white cheeses. I think she likes the melt texture but not the sharpness.
I can go with that. The only Wiss-can-sin accents I’ve ever heard were on TV and kind of exagerated.
Colby was mass produced in bricks by all the major companies here and sold in every supermarket. Then maybe thirty years ago, that just stopped. Never heard an explanation. And it must have sold better than, say, Havarti or niche specialty bricks that have been smoked or have gimmicks like added jalapeños. I occasionally used to drive to the US to grocery shop, when our dollar made that worthwhile, and buy it then.
Maybe muddled Madison mobsters made mumbling noises about territorial trademarks, and since no one could understand what they were on aboot Canadian companies thought it safer to stop making Colby?
I have read technology and genetics have now made fresh milk fattier, almost 5%. This makes butter cheaper. But it means making Colby more expensive since you need to use leaner milk. But it’s not like that does not apply to other cheeses or lower fat dairy.

Ah! A Colby conflagration caused by meddling milk mobsters makes sense.
I wonder what havock was wreaked over havarti or if there were any fights over Feta.

The Netherlands and Greece are far from Canada. But is it that hard to picture a bunch of disgruntled and drunk Wisconsinites crossing the border and tipping over a bunch of cows to send a message?
(Slurred telephone recording) “And if you keep making Colby, we’ll come back to Canada, and play us some ‘mailbox baseball’.”

@DoesTheHeavyLifting @SkyzykS I’m enjoying the alliteration of this conversation.

Your linguistics are luxurious with lavishly kinetic phonetics.

Preferring poetic phrases possibly proffers piddling purpose, potentially. Philosophical premises, perpetually placed problematically preposition-wise, prevent precise posts. Paragraphs, previously pellucid, positively perpetuate polarity per pertinent performance. Posts privilege preposterous paraphrasing. Plain, practical perspectives progressively polymorph, producing pure poppycock.
Perhaps.

. You’ve earned it. I bow to your mastery of allusion. You’re a perennial powerhouse of prose, and should remain so in perpetuity.
