One of the big advantages of cheddar, that's for
sure. The older it is, the better it gets. Ian will
never forget, however, asking for old cheddar in a
Pennsylvania store. Reply, "Oh, no, if anything gets
old, we throw it out!" (They did have
chemically-aged, 'sharp' cheddar. Uggh.)
Getting back to the Tex-Mex theme, it's generally a pooh-poohed branch of cooking up here. True Mexican, if you can find it or cook it yourself, is considered far superior. Granted, we're hardly getting the best, thousands of kilometers from its homeland. ;-)
So, to the aficionados, what redeeming qualities does it have?
By the way, anyone want to change the thread title? Given the subject now being discussed, it's probably considered disgustingly appropriate by some, but really...
