So I’ve managed to end up with two Costco-sized containers of Kraft grated parmesan. I’ll reach for real parmesan 95% of the time, with Kraft being an occasional nostalgia pick, but these will go bad long before I can get through them at my normal consumption. The containers are both opened, so can’t donate and I’m loathe to waste food, so been trying to think of ways to use it all up.
These sad, dense, salt pucks (with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning) were an attempt to make parmesan crisps. Thinking of trying again with smaller spoonfuls spread thinner, but don’t know if the cellulose additive makes the endeavor hopeless.


OK, better example for my list: Gouda cheese. Middle-aged. Nice.
As for chocolate, most German store brands are better than anything I’ve had in the U.S.
