I mean, had Americans already stolen the appellation by then? And if Cheddar, why not Cheshire?<br /><br />I had a summer mishap involving lost luggage, a wheel of Brillat Savarin cheese, and a hot July day on the Columbus, Ohio airport. Poor luggage. Poor Savarin.<br />Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-73175111889339824472020-05-28T13:38:49.088-04:002020-05-28T13:38:49.088-04:00What a fun post!
