i used to eat cheez-its and pepperidge farm goldfish all the time as a kid. loved them. and then some time shortly after college, i developed some fierce lactose intolerance. very upsetting. i have since beat that intolerance, and am now back on friendly terms with cheese ... and cheez-its, in any form really. my favie form being those served at fine dining establishments. even they enjoy a good childhood snack from time to time.
so i've signed myself up for the task of discovering and documenting variations on the cheez-it. the first in this series is from meadowood up in st helena. a thin crispy shell filled with creamy fromage blanc, topped with a flower petal and tiny herbs. not the same "pow in your face" burst of cheesy flavor from the original cracker, but rather pleasant with the contrasting textures. and i do rather enjoy the slight tang and subtle flavor of fromage blanc. definitely a nice start to the meal.
do you think we'll find cheez-its on our travels? i hope so!
