Ah, the power of cheese.
Feb. 28th, 2013 04:24 am(Anyone remember the commercials that used that tagline?)
One of the most frustrating and pointless inventions ever: pre-sliced cheese. Seriously, it's really only good if you're having a big gathering and don't have time to slice it yourself. For every day use, it just doesn't cut it. (Pun half-intended.)
It's not as fresh as brick cheese. Right as soon as you open the package, it's not that fresh, because being in one lump preserves the freshness. Since someone already cut it all up, it's going a little funny right away. And it goes even funnier before you ever get the whole thing used.
And those pieces of papers that are supposed to divide the slices don't do their proper job. They don't cover the entire slice, and wherever the paper isn't, the slices are stuck together! I've had a terrible time prying slices apart. I had to actually get a knife in most cases. And usually part of the next slice still comes off on the one I'm trying to get loose! That's pathetic.
Finally, the slices are too thin! It usually takes two slices of pre-sliced cheese to make a slice as thick as I usually like, especially for something like a sandwich. I don't like someone else deciding how thick my cheese can be! It's very annoying.
Dad accidentally picked up a package of pre-sliced cheese back in December and it was not fun working through it. I rejoiced when we finished it off and could start on a lovely, normal brick of cheese again. We're getting close to being halfway down on the brick, and it's so gloriously fresh and tasty! And I love being able to determine how thick to cut it again.
