Traded for food.

[pitw]

  I was chatting with  iahntr yesterday and we got talking about some cheese I had traded for.  I told him I'd post pics on the forum.  So as I have found them and not wanting to make a liar out of myself, here they are.
Mandy with one of the small ones for a size comparison.


The whole load on the cupboard.


The guys I talk with don't make it but get it from another colony that does.  The bigger one is a mild cheddar and the smaller ones are kinda/sorta a velveta type of cheese[not as soft or strong tasting] that I use on nachos a lot.  These guys get me some of the best cheese to be found up here.  Some times I get cheddar that hasn't been aged yet and it is interesting to taste the difference age can make to it.

HOLY CRAP!!!!!      Thats got to be the coolest thing I've ever seen. I LOVE CHEESE!!!!   I thought cheese only came in little blocks from kraft.


Where can I get my hands something like that?    That is awesome. I'm so jealous. 

[pitw]

Cheddar is usually made in big "wheels" that are left on the racks to age.  These are processed somehow[I haven't figured that out yet.  I had a chance to work at a cheese making place in Bashaw years ago but when I went and toured it and saw the guys sweating with the wooden shovels, I decided I was to lazy for that job.  I did however get a good insight into cheese making .  Kraft bought this operation and absolutely ruined it so we no longer have it to buy from.  Wisconsin seemed to have a lot of dairy and hence some cheese is made there.  Art and I found some that kept us on the road through a few meals .  I don't know where you would find it in your area but look around cause someone is doing it.

Did you ever try smoked horseradish cheese?  The Amish make it around these parts.  Man, that stuff is good!
Looks like you got yourself some fine eating there Barry!

That horse radish is a weed to me and a damb tough one to boot.

  The Amish make it around these parts.

I don't got Amish, just hutterites. 

Hope you enjoy it though Dave as everyone has different tastes.

[alscalls]

[vvarmitr]

I gotta say I ain't never seen cheese done that way before in elongated tubes.
Are those casings for sausage or baloney?

How do you always come up w/ such cool stuff to share? 

[Bills Custom Calls]

So what did ya trade for the cheese
I don't like cheddar cheese that well
I am just guessing that you have close to 30# of cheese there

[FinsnFur]

    So as I have found them and not wanting to make a liar out of myself, here they are.

I dint know how you could lose those. You could trip over them.

[pitw]

Are those casings for sausage or baloney?

Nope they are a plastic type casing that keeps them from being exposed to the air.  They are easy to store and when cut in 1lb packages you just need saran wrap to cover the ends.

How do you always come up w/ such cool stuff to share? 

I guess I just live life my way .  I don't go to Walmart[except to empty my ash tray or do something else ignorant] cause everybody sees that stuff.  If I see something interesting I usually stop cause what else is there to do

ROFLMAO!!   

[coyotehunter_1]

  What a f'n country... where cheese comes in long tubes? What next... featherless turkeys?

[Hawks Feather]

Barry,

The cheese looks pretty tasty and horseradish is pretty good.  Just remember if it weren't for weeds like that you would still be working in that cheese making place.

Jerry, many people grew horse radish up here as a condiment.  I got cured of it at a tender age at my best buds house as that stuff his ma made would burn the ash's off a volcano. Most don't touch it anymore and the patchs have gone wild.  I can't kill them with spray and they are in the ditch's 20 miles South of me for anyone who wants to dig it.  I've seen people pour diesel on the patch's and that stuff grows right through it .  I love weeds and nurture them where I can as I know where my bread is buttered at but as for the cheese place it had walls and I just could never bring myself to work inside them things .

Good stuff ya got there Barry    Big cheese fan here just like the rest.

[Okanagan]

Barry,
What do you call cheese fixed like that?  I couldn't google up anything like it.  I'd be interested in buying some to taste test if I could find it.  I have to make a short run to Calgary next week with a few hours down toward Claresholm, and wonder if you know of any place down that way to buy cheese like that?
