In the city of Beaver, a little town in Southern, Utah there is a world class cheese factory, the " DFA Cache Valley Cheese Mart" that sells fresh Curds. I never drive though Beaver without getting my fix for fresh "Curds" the "Squeaky Cheese".
In fact I have driven there from Las Vegas just to get my fix for "Squeaky Cheese". If you have never had a bag of Curds and a cup of coffee by yours side as your are driving up or down the road, you have never been in heaven. Bite into a clump of Curd and it squeaks as your mouth closes. The muted salty cheese taste is to never be forgotten. A sip of hot black coffee with the hum of the tires on the road completes the reverie.
There is something about fresh curds that hits my taste buds right in the butt.
Yep, when you say cheese to me, I don't smile. I get in my car and drive.
I definitely know the joy of curds. I live in Holmes County, Ohio - home of the world's largest settlement of Amish - and we have more cheese houses than bars. Have you ever eaten Holmes County Baby Swiss Cheese -yum,yum!
ReplyDeleteNo but next time I'm in Ohio I will
ReplyDeleteNot many curds in Texas but we have a lot of folks from Wisconsin in our town because of the Kimberly Clark plant located here. From time to time, they will treat us to curds in the teacher's lounge and I have grown to love them :)
ReplyDeletethat's what what makes them really good here. don,t get them enough but when I do, man oh man
ReplyDeleteI've never had curds or travelled any farther south in Utah than Cove Fort, which I just found out isn't very far from Beaver. I'll definitely have to plan to visit Beaver and try some fresh curds during our next trip to Utah.
ReplyDeleteI've never had curd but I'll keep my eye out for it. Your link took me to a delightful tale involving Prof. Kieth Hillman. :)
ReplyDeletethanks Tammy, they are good especially if theya re fresh.
