going Dutch

Many apologies for the hiatus in posting, but I was traveling for a bit over the past few weeks. Not to worry, though - my cheesy mission did not go uninterrupted!

After a three-city tour through Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen, I discovered that hands down, the Dutch do cheese best. Could it have been the drug-induced haze that simply made their dairy delights taste like the most wondrous things on earth? Regardless of whether the sensory experience was heightened by THC or not, all I know is, shit was mad tasty.

One prime example was a 2-euro brick of young cheese made with mustard seeds (!), pictured above - "mostard kaas." This mild Dutch cheese was quite a treat, to say the least, with it's subtle mustardy flavor that was neither overkill nor went undetected. So much of a treat, in fact, that after a morning wake-up call at The Bulldog, three of us finished off the entire block of cheese within a mere six hours. (Thanks, space cakes!)

We got the cheese at Amsterdam's busiest outdoor market, which also sold other foods for ridiculously cheap prices (like a bag of goji berries for a mere 3 euros!).
