We went on a trip this past week to stalk up on some bulk food supplies.
While we were shopping, I came across some Vintage Habanero Cheddar Cheese. Now, I know that Habanera is the greatest hotling of the pepper family, but the “vintage” part just stood out to me . . . and it got the better of me.
I leaned over the counter, grabbed a toothpick, and began to determine which little cube I was going to taste from the sample bowl.
Now, you must realize that I am not one to try “samples” in a public place (you never know whose fingers have touched the food), but remember the “vintage” part had taken its toll.
So I jabbed my toothpick into the “chosen” one, and placed in it my mouth. Ah, just beautiful at first, with the taste of an elegantly tasty morsel of cheese. Then – AH! Hot, but delicious, hot, hot, delicious. This went on for a while, and without having access to water, I panted while exclaiming, “That is SO good, you’ve got to try it!”
And that’s pretty much how the story goes. I got my Aunt Lou to try it first, then Momma, Breezy sister, and Maggie cousin.
So . . . I recommend it, if you’re ever in need of something tasty with spunk, this should be your choice.
Here’s a sample:
