Living with Cheese Addiction

Using Cheese Safely

Being as cheese is delicious and lovely, it makes sense to learn how to handle this substance to make sure you are getting a quality product and using it correctly. Recently the market has been flooded with inferior product that can lead to a disappointing cheese experience.
Don’t share cheese knives. It sounds obvious, but when confronted with a great board of cheese it’s easy to get carried away and use the first knife available. Think! Was someone else about to use it to butter a cracker? Can you be sure that it will still be there when you need another hit in a few minutes? These simple questions can save you an extra trip to the kitchen. Remember: Keep it on your plate for round two.
Keep crackers handy.You never know when you will need a fix, so crackers can be a lifeline in difficult social situations where you feel awkward eating cheese directly out of the fridge. Resting it on a water biscuit or oatcake can make all the difference, but remember to stay hydrated, and ask a friend to check on you if you are alone in the kitchen to make sure you are at least closing the fridge door occasionally.
Never be tempted by a Quick Fix Individually wrapped squares, aerosols and squeezy tubes may look like a convenient and simple way to eat cheese, but don’t be fooled. If you are offered any of these items say a polite but firm “no” and then hold your breath and refuse any further attempts at conversation until someone relents and goes off to find actual cheese.
