My parents brought back a few blocks of parm for me from Italy a couple of months ago. Every time they go an entire suitcase is full of cheese. Looks like they're smuggling bricks of cocaine. Just so much cheaper over there.

Loblaw's carries it unpackaged in their deli counter. It's better at a specialized deli but the supermarket version is still tasty.

I hit reply before even reading the second sentence, because yeah, you have to get it at a local market (deli??).

You don't want some prepackaged crap. You need the unpackaged, and I doubt Loblaws gets the legit ones.

Loblaws vary....the one near my place sells BF un-packaged. I buy it by weight and then they add the brine

I agree, packaged feta is for emergency use only

But if that's the measuring stick...parm is shit.

It's all about use cases. Parm is incredible because it disappears gently into your dish and deep dicks your taste buds. You can't serve that shit on a cheese platter though.

Parm is shit.

The thing I don't get is, why eggplant parm is so good? Because I can't stand parm otherwise. I eat it every time I'm at an italian restaurant, and haven't bothered asking, but I figure it must be some combo of parm and mozzarella and it dilutes the shit out of the parm and takes away all its shitty elements. Need to research.

Canada has the highest cheese prices in the world. Maxine Bernier had a good idea once -- put an end to the Cheese Cartel. Scheer used it against him to win the party nomination by promising Quebec dairy farmers that he would preserve their BS pricing.
 
I've starting tossing close-to-going-bad veggies into pickle brine, what a revelation. Doesn't seem to matter what I put in there, they are always awesome.
 
You'd think Presty would chip off a little from his cash hoard to buy his parents some goddamn cheese so they wouldn't have to smuggle from Italy.

That's the thing. The eggplant/veal is just breaded in parm the bulk of the cheese taste is the mozzarella.


Parm however is great and I'm convinced you are a robot that was programmed to be a human but the project got defunded at 77% so this is what we got

Overfunded, so they actually went to 128% of the standard.

It's the 77% models like you that can't measure properly.
