I don't remember her name! But oh how we argued on this point. She ran a little coffee shop across the street from where I work. In her cold case, she had some fresh fruit, yogurts, one or two sandwich choices, and sweets. She either baked or brought in fresh breads.
I was in there, waffling over my lunch choice, and realized how very much I would love to buy one of her small breads, a hunk of cheese, and a piece of fruit. I could *always* eat cheese. She asked what I was looking for, and I told her. I told her I wanted some cheese with bread and fruit (and a glass of wine, but I didn't say that out loud).
She went on to explain that cheese wasn't in season, and she couldn't carry it in the case because it spoilt too quickly. And took up too much space. I tried to suggest maybe some splits of brie? But there was no traction. And of course, it's her shop, and I respect her choice.
I just used my equal choice, and switched to the competing shop that's a little further away, and carries cheese.
How entirely bizarre. Does she think cows don't produce milk year-round, and/or that refrigeration (or wax shells, depending on the cheese) is unavailable?
Cheese slices on sandwiches, soft cheese on crackers, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheese sauces, fondue--cheese is absolutely good year-round. :D
