Never seen this live.  I will attend Spring 2024 before some health and safety prick bans it.

Almost 100 years old.

Want to come along Clau Clau?  Not far from you.

Lol when I was in college the communications instructor was talking about this to us. We ended watching it some of it. It's nuts. Supposedly some people can hit over 60 mph going down the hill. I think a Canadian won last year.

Do you get an employee discount?
The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banish care,
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool,
Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!"

The jester doffed his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.

He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the Monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: "O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!"

Heresy.

Pecorino Romano is Roman, the see of Rome is indefectible, therefore Romano is the Mother and Teacher of all Cheeses.

Lol.  No, nothing that exciting sounding sadly

Parmesan and Asiago are both unbelievably hard cheeses.  You need some special hard core grinding machines to make shaker parmesan.  Incidentally my hometown also makes the powdered cheese for Kraft instant Mac n' Cheese.

Is it as crumbly and grainy as the real stuff?

I think most of the stuff sold in the States is at least 1 year old.  So I'd say no.   It's still a solid block.

Heresy.

Pecorino Romano is Roman, the see of Rome is undetectable, therefore Romano is the Mother and Teacher of all Cheeses.

Our Lady told us Herself that Rome will become the Seat of the Antichrist

Not Parma, Reggio etc.


Ergo, your argument is invalid.

I win. Let's eat some Parm  :cheesehead:
