When making a pasta salad, some people like to include small cubes of mozzarella cheese. One time, in an effort to make the best possible pasta salad with the highest quality ingredients, I decided to use fresh mozzarella. I soon discovered that was a mistake. The vinegar and everything else in the salad made the cheese disintegrate. Since then, I use the cheap packaged stuff from the store, as it generally holds its shape quite nicely.

I recently purCHASED some mozarella from LIDL. It tasted blander than bland. It was like nothing imaginable. Never again. 😠
From now on, I will by my smelly cheeses from an official smelly vheese outlet.

Why not substitute for Feta instead?

Feta and Mozilla are two entirely different types of cheese. Feta also tends to fall apart though.

There are different grades and varieties available.

Most cheap Fetas have a very strong flavor from the salt water they are packaged in, and tend to be harder which causes them to crumble.

If you use a relatively juvenile creamy feta the flavor wont be as sever and will compliment the vinegar dressing.

I agree with Trev about the cheese choice

As for the food posts, there must be some crap chefs if there is a need to ask for recipes from chess geeks!!

haha!!

I suppose you could bake them and when they are done, cut them in half, scoop out the potato, mash it with butter and replace (bootiful!)

Are you impressed Trev?

I'm eating Strawberries and cream, washed down with Jasmine tea.


Hmmm, don't know if this sober thing as good or bad, the strawberries are delish, that's for sure 😛
