Cheese Corner

Don't let them tell you otherwise--Domestic Muenster cheese is fantastic. While it is flavorful enough to be served at the end of a meal (the chefs at La Mediteranee in Berkeley, California, serve it this way), it is mild enough to add to ham sandwiches. Domestic Muenster is a relatively inexpensive, mild, cow's cheese with an orange rind, that can be purchased as a block or from delis in slices. Some of the ways I have been eating it lately are in small slices with a banana, broiled on a piece of sourdough toast spread with a layer of tomato sauce and garlic salt, and sandwiched between two hearty slices of bread with avocado to make a grilled cheese.
There will always be the detractors who complain that Muenster is too bland. One can smile at them, and savor her lunchtime sandwich...
