Cornered


For the last 10 years of my life, I have stayed away from “instant” food and committed my life to so-called slow food as much as I can. I get enough fast-food and instant food when I’m out at school and have no option for a decent meal but McDonald’s, Jollibee, etc.

Hence, when it comes to cheese, I only buy real parmesan, and grate it myself. Nothing comes close to the taste of fresh parmesan – salty yet creamy. It even has a “sweet” smell to it!

For the past few weeks however, fresh parmigiano has been out of stock from most groceries. I was forced to buy the bottled version. It does smell cheesy, and tastes salty. But it has a real gritty texture! Read the label – it has some sort of anti-caking agent!
