Dairy Pairy: August 2008 Archives

Want this sammy? It's yours! We weren't going to say anything about our latest grilled cheese exploits because, well, the thing was sold out. But now we're told that there's two seats left, so here ya go. It's not so exclusive, it's just a smallish fun thing. Hot Knives is grilling sandwiches for a 12-beer and 4-cheese tasting at one of our favorite beer stores, Red Carpet Wine & Spirits in Glendale. It's the second of two events and it's tomorrow (Aug. 24). The tickets are half price ($20). Rather than raffle them off, we thought we'd throw a cheesy contest. But first, consider these sammy courses...

So here's the deal: The first person to rock this cheese trivia can claim the tickets tomorrow and take their seat at the grilled cheese and beer bar. Leave your answers as comments. The first dude with the most right answers, wins. Here we go...

1. Place the following cheeses in order of their fat content (from most to least fatty): sheep, cow, goat.

2. You've found mold growing on a piece of cheddar in your fridge, should you a) toss the whole thing out b) cut off the moldy bit and eat the rest c) scarf it mold and all.

3. Which of these cheese is not traditionally made in the town it is named after: Roquefort, Stilton or Gorgonzola.

4. What is the most popular cheese in France (per kilos sold)?

5. True of false, there are cheese produced in Italy, France and Spain whose ripeness is determined by maggots or mites being present?
