And I'd guess the common thread to all the food/vegetable/fruit questions is the peach basket?

Very good.

Good afternoon all!

Adam, I thought about you this weekend! We were at Costco and one of the samples being given out were 3 Year Aged Chedder. IT WAS SO GOOD. Unfortunately they ran out. I was so bummed!!

Anywho, I said to myself, OK i'll just buy it from Publix (way smaller grocery store) So I get there and i'm searching for "3 Year Aged Chedder" cant find it.. but i did find "Vintage Chedder" I say to myself, uhm vintage is old stuff, right? yea? LETS BUY IT!

OMG, i about died when I tried this chedder! Lets just say tiny bits and pieces went flying right out of my mouth! GAG! DIE!

What the heck is the difference between vintage cheese and 3 year aged cheese?! Was I not right on my thoughts of vintage being old, like, aged?!

YUCK!

Aging is just another word for ripening.
Most cheese is aged from 3 days to several years before consumption, so yours in Costco was just aged 3, it has no bearing on quality you just hit upon a good one.
Cheese is sometimes categorized into strength of flavour starting with mild, then medium, mature, tasty, extra tasty and finally vintage, which has the strongest flavour, which may not be dependent on age.
So if you get a vintage version of a cheese you don't like the taste of it will have the taste maximized!
Unlucky, can't quite see how a vintage Cheddar could be so horrid, though, US labelling of cheese may be different, I guess.

Well, was I off or was I off? Lol! I was standing there looking at all the cheese and thinking, I wish Adam could tell me which to get!

I like cheese, but mild tasting cheese.
I think my favorite is Gouda, there's this one brand Gallo Azul, it's so good.

I really like that 3 year aged one I tried, I must go back when it's in stock!
Thank you for the cheese-dom

Spring.

Right you are!!!

 

[Moozillion]

Hopscotch.

Right again!!!

 

[Moozillion]

Give yourself some points for 2 right answers to the kangaroo questions!

 

[Moozillion]

A buck & doe!
Ha! I know this!

Although you are right, Adam is more right because I was specifically looking for boomers and fliers because the words sound so funny!
But I think you should get points anyway!

 

[Moozillion]

If this is another joke, i don't know.
But male kangaroos are known as jacks, bucks or boomers and females jills, does or flyers.

Great!!! MORE points to you!
Would you please also give points to AnimalLad y because she said bucks and does first. But I was looking for whoever knew boomers and fliers because I think they're fun words!

What were Admiral Nelson's last words?

I believe they were "Put out my eye and cut off my arm if Lady Hamilton isn't a virgin."

Pleasure.
I like talking about cheese!!!!
Gouda is indeed mild, but rather yummy!!!!
Gallo Azul is Spanish, rather good and I may be getting some soon myself, though some of the Dutch originals are the best.

Bea says to give you points, so I will!

Hmmm, Blackadder strikes again, but he didn't die at that point.

I like Gorgonzola there's this cheese shop in Edinburgh that sells it and it pretty much stinks out the full Royal mile - It's never tasted the same out of all the other shops I've tried! I think myself going in to the city just to get it! I get crusty bread and Parma ham to go with it... Drool...

I have to keep some of my stronger cheeses, including a good Gorgonzola, stored in a cheese room in the garden.
Even the birds won't alight on the roof.

Last time I was in I tried some goats cheese. Wasn't a fan I must say!
Do you like Gorgonzola too?
