stoutfellowSo said G. K. Chesterton. I, however, am not.
Another word on the selection of cheeses available at the new Schnucks: the Havarti they sell, Finlandia brand, is far tastier than the brand (Hoffman? I don't remember) that Shop'n'Save carried. It has the brittleness that I associate with aging, and the sharpness that comes with it. Honestly, although SnS Havarti was in my regular cheese rotation, I was never impressed by it. It was soft and creamy in texture, without having the strength of flavor of mozzarella or provolone. This stuff, though, is the real deal.
For some reason Schnucks has sliced cheese for sandwiches in two different locations, and it wasn't until this past week that I realized it. One is over in the deli section, the other in dairy, and it's in the latter that they keep the Tillamook cheddar (ah, bliss!) and a few others I haven't tried yet.
At least on this front, the takeover has been positive.
