deckardcanineMonths ago, I ate at the Italian restaurant Dino and observed a bizarre item in the cheese section of the menu. I took pictures with my phone, but they didn't come out well. Fortunately, I see the same item here. It reads thus:
Guffanti Provolone Mandarino 2 Anni {cow - raw, sharp!} Valpadana 5
80 pound balls, cave aged two years till sharp & tangy with a melt in your mouth texture
Eighty pounds?! That can't be right, but what do they mean?? Even eight ounces is an awful lot for one ball. (For readers more familiar with the metric system, 80 lbs = about 36 kg and 8 oz = about 227 g, which is larger than most large burgers.)
The unintended humor goes even further, of course, if you have a Beavisian mindset.
