And Another thing. . .
Cheese.
Or at least the apology for cheese that’s purveyed in supermarkets around SA. It’s a disgrace. This tartrazine coloured, flavourless soap hasn’t been near a cow in its life. Try making cheese sauce. Use only cheese and the sauce will not have the slightest cheezy taste. Not only that but it has the consistency of contact adhesive (which is probably better for you, particularly if you sniff the stuff). In America at least they own up to the ersatz nature of their cheese by selling ‘cheese food’ - extruded from ethylene byproduct fractionating column I woudn’t wonder. But at least they tell the truth.
Now, despite the burgeoning cheesemakers that have gallantly tried their hand at producing something worthy of the name, there is a cheese that looks and tasts like cheese. It’s Butlers from the southern Cape.
Not bad stuff and worth a little extra.
Trouble is, you don’t need as much of it as the soap but old habits die hard and it therefore doesn’t last long.
