Say CHEESE!

[lumberjim]

You went to classicman's Trader Joe. I was planning on hitting the one in Gateway Shopping center next time I go to Amanda's via 202, but a search shows one in Marlton 6 miles from here. I may pop over there tomorrow on the way to work.

Bruce, did you ever go to the Ye Olde Cheese Shoppe in Gap, Pa? They have a real REAL good selection of cheddars. I got some Irish cheese there that still stands out in my memory 5 years later.

It's on 41 just a 1/4 mile south of 30.

Nope, don't think so, yet.
Most of the cheese specialty stores that deal only in cheese, and maybe fancy crackers, usually have a broad but repeating selection. I suppose if someone comes in and finds something they like, they'll come back asking for the same. So the shop is sort of obligated to carry that after a few customers start asking.
The other thing is give a piece of sharp cheddar to people raised on Velveeta and Kraft Mac&Cheese, will often not like it. Oooo it tastes funny, it's strange, it's awful, it's not cheese, I've seen more than one spit it out. That makes it harder for specialty shops to find enough clientele to survive. It also makes them hedge their bets with blander cheeses.

Uh, the Media store called and it was bagged and ready to go when I got there, so I didn't get an eyeball on what they had left.
