Not all of it!  You just don't get to sample any real Vermont cheddar 
where you live.  You have to come here to buy it (I'd send it to you 
but it =would= be oily and rubbery by the time it got there).  
Crumbles on your tongue, so sharp, so good . . . 

What amazes me is that even in Vermont you can, and people apparently 
do, buy Cheez-Wiz, which is the most frightening substance I've ever 
seen (so-called cheese in a pressurized can, for those who don't 
know . . . it comes out in electric-orange spurts and probably causes 
cancer within 10 minutes of ingestion).  People buy Mrs. 
Butterworth's here, too, a toxic mixture of artificial flavors, corn 
syrup, and coloring that shouldn't even be allowed to have the 
word "maple" on it.  Some people have no state pride whatsoever.
