The Celtic Cheese Incident

[Richter]

I hit up Trader Joe's on Saturday with Suu for more of the bowel rending curry I am growing to love so.  As we perused the cheese offerings, we see a "Celtic Cheddar".  The resulting tirade was rougly as follows:

"CELTIC?  Why not just label it ambiguous trendy marketing based off a tremendously wide ranging and diverse group of peoples?  DO you mean IRISH?  This makes me want to take that cheese, partially liquify it in a broiler Alton Brown style, find a new age "Druid", flip up his fuckign white robes, and shove it straight up his a...  Oh look, Mozzarella." 

At this point the tirade aborted as I saw a mother with small children.  Several folks sidled away.  One friendly lady advised me of the quality of the mozzarella.   

The cheese itself was OK.  An interesting midpoint between a Vermont cheddar and a good Parmesan. 
Suu got some, we ate most of it with bread.  I also sandwiched some in chicken breast with fresh basil and garlic.  Came out good.  I'd repeat, just with a bit less basil (it overrode the cheese more than I wanted.)

Hey, is Celtic Cheese more Parishable than other Cheeses?

No, it'll just get you glassed by Rangers fans if you accidentally walk into the wrong pub with it.

Or it will become a catchphrase and widely misused symbol for some fad/religious movement that roughly bases itself on pretty much anything it perceives to be outside of Christian tradition.

This is EXACTLY the shit that pisses me off.

Little known fact:  This cheese MUST be stocked in the back of the dairy case.  Once Italian cheeses have formed an empire and have kicked it out, extracted tribute, killed it's leaders, and pushed it to the farthest corner of the chilled good empire, then it is aged enough to sell.

The real test of a cheese is whether or not it makes a good Grilled Cheese sandwhich.  If it doesn't, it is of no use in the WHN house.

Suu made a grilled cheese of it on whole wheat nan.  Said it was OK, but the bread was thick, and tricky to heat all the way through.

To anyone who has had the misfortune to live in Glasgow and meet their fans, this is widely known.
