Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

I'd like a taste of the brick and the Parmesan and the goat ... I like them all, a lot, if they are really good.

Seriously? You are selling Canadian Cheddar? I find that really interesting. I am wondering what brand.

Yes I think what you call American we simply call processed cheese. And what you call Canadian bacon we call pea meal bacon. Go figure.

That looks somewhat like the sharp white cheddar we sell which is Druck's brand. Their company story:

Old Quebec. We don't sell lots of it, but it's the oldest cheddar we feature:

I suggest we organize an event on the Rainbow Bridge where we throw eggs at each other. I suspect that's a more mature approach than some of our political leaders are taking - and better informed, too.
I plan on crossing the Peace bridge, just a few miles south of the Rainbow Bridge early Tuesday morning on my way to the OBX. I will meet you there. You bring the cheese. I will bring the eggs. Can we have a food fight on the Peace Bridge?

Interesting. That is actually not a bad price for old cheddar. I am going to have to check that out.

If it's a contest of Superiority, shouldn't it take place farther northwest, maybe at the bridge over the St. Mary's River, where we can peacefully asSault each other?
