That is sad. But I sacked in a supermarket in the 50's when there was
only one
line of cheeses, Kraft. And the store received a huge wheel of cheddar
which a
dairyman cut with a wire device, wrapped and priced. Can't remember
how good
it was; I doubt it was a Tillamook or Cabot, certainly not English
farmhouse. The
point is that's all we had. So bring on the young clerks who don't
know what they're
stacking in the deli cases. I'll take my chances with the selection.
