Ohhhhhhhh my gawd. I did. I was cooking for someone and had to use the
market near them to pick up parmesan and that is *all* they had in block
form. The only other option was grated in the green can. FoodLion was
the market-a nasty chain if ever I saw one. UGH!
Back to the cheese-what a PIECE OF SHIT gimmick. A mediocre tasting
piece of cheese inside a huge plastic tube which lets it dry out and a
plastic grater that doesn't grate worth a damn.
Gimme some good quality cheese and my good grater anyday. The grater
gets put into the dishwasher so how much bother is it? A LOT easier as
well as tastier than that stuff.
