Last night was a most enjoyable dining extravaganza at the Texas de Brazil.

We deemed it Cheesy Adventure blog-worthy as we devoured at least four different types of cheeses, as well as a cheesy poof pastry… mmmmmm….

The cheesy delights were:

1. French Goat Cheese Terrine
2. Provoleta (grilled provolone)
3. Manchego Cheese (from Spain)
4. Grana Padano (from Italy)

Here’s a photos of some of the goodies we left with (key lime pie to go, match box, after dinner candy, commemorative Texas de Brazil pen, and the traditional stop-go flipper).

Overall, it was a four and a half (out of five) cheese evening.

Cheesecake from Jason’s Deli

$2.59 / slice

Tonight, Mike surprised me with a turkey sandwich and cheesecake from Jason’s Deli. “This could almost go in the cheese blog” he said.

So, here it is.

Traditional Emmenthaler from Whole Foods

$7.99 / lb

~ Unpasturized Cow’s Milk

“Pleasantly surprised!” ~mike. Solid. Nothing exceptional but not a dog either. Mildly swissy. I would have added another 1/2 Cheese if it were swissier but still a good cheese for it’s price.

I melted it on our ham salad sandwiches earlier and it was grrrrrrreat!

Uniekaas Robusto from Whole Foods

$12.99 / lb

~ Pastured Cow’s Milk

Mike swears it’s the same as that smoked gouda from Minneapolis last month. “I enjoy this cheese! +++” ~mike. “It just melts in your mouth.” ~samm.

[Negative One on the Cheese Scale]

Raclette Swiss Bulk from Safeway

$15.49 / lb

~ Traditional Farmhouse unpasturized semi-soft

A$$!!! “It hurts! It hurts!” ~mike. It’s very rancid and painful. Tastes like it went bad!!! I spit! I couldn’t swallow it!!!
