I have it on bad authority that he is a recent convert to Twice-Grilled Swisscheesianism, Reformed. Yes, he worships the holiest of cheeses. **Hamlet** : when come back, bring Limburger. ---

Look, cheese isn’t bad. Not every person who enjoys cheese recites the entire Monty Python’s Cheeseshop sketch at the flimsiest provocation. Nor do all cheeseheads want to take over the entire grocery with nothing but variant flavors of cheese. Just because some of us go overboard, it doesn’t mean there’s nothing tasty there. ---

Reasonable people can differ as to whether the animal in the center of the pasture is a cow, a sheep, or a goat. Sometimes, such differences will turn out to be udderly divisive. ---

**Hamlet** , please clarify - this sandwich - are you using epistemological or ontological cheese? I myself have long been in search of historic cheeses. ---

How was the cheese sandwich constructed? Did you butter both sides of the bread? Did you add any spices? Was it real cheese or cheese “food”? Did you get a glass of milk to have with it, or maybe some soup? Did you burn your fingers on the skillet? Inquiring minds want to know. ---
