Do you remember when cheese came in a can? During my earliest years growing up in Nigeria, if we had cheese it had either crossed the ocean with us on our return from furlough or it came from a can just like this one. (At least that's the way I remember things...I wasn't exactly doing the shopping!)
We have no lack of yummy cheeses here in Niamey but I was in a little store on Saturday that happened to have cheese in a can so I decided to buy some just for old time's sake. You know how the nostalgia of things from your childhood can get to you sometimes!
It was just as I remember it and the only thing that would have made it better is if I had been pulled over somewhere alongside a road eating cheese sandwiches under the shade of an African tree with my family. Mom, Dad, Kent, I can send you a can....on second thought, perhaps you should just go out and buy yourself some Kraft cheese slices. It's about the same thing!
Yep, that's the way it was back in the good old days in Nigeria! :0)
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it was quite as bad as what Deb was saying but there are definitely more delicious and much more fresh cheeses here. :)
