Five year cheddar cheese
October 18, 2016
Early morning,
grocery store.
At the first stop,
I look in dairy,
and find cheddar.
Five sharp years old.
Old equals bold,
I take it home
Put in kitchen,
unload the bag.
I unwrap it,
place on the plate.
Cut into chunks,
Mom picks red wine.
Dad slowly pours,
Mom bites, then sips.
Dad bites then sips,
I bite then chew
tasting crystals,
and bold flavor.
All chunks vanish.
Leftovers flake.
Five sharp years old.
Simply tasty.
Early morning,
grocery store:
Best time to get
aged cheddar cheese.
