So...sparkly...
*Drops dead*
Also, I have trouble with cheese other than cheddar and...like, pepper jack. Dunno why. Just never liked it.

Smoked gouda is best gouda.
Of course, that counts for smoked just-about-anything.

Re: 13-05-28 supermarkets have lied to me
I concur with this statement.
Especially when it comes to meat, but also cheese.
And yes, Sandra, the supermarkets will lie to you about the quality of just about everything. You might be able to get halfway-decent produce if you know how to pick it, but otherwise? Good luck.
Seriously. Try some organic milk sometime and then compare it to whatever milk you buy now (best results are with whole). Even without taste buds as sensitive as mine, I'm sure you'll be able to tell the difference. Now go and get some from a local farm that pasture-feeds their cows, especially if they offer it raw.
Good luck ever drinking supermarket milk again.

This strip reminds me of the first time I ate Real Brie cheese.

Re: 13-05-28 supermarkets have lied to me
I want to go on the record that I have never ever pinched a booth girl on the butt. No matter how sexy they were.
Well, not without permission, at any rate.
But then again, I have never seen Sandra in person, so I don't know if I could resist. Thinking about how Didi would crush my bones in a violent rage could prevent me from doing it.

I have to say, I'm really enjoying Sandra's character a lot more in this comic than I ever did back in Mà3. She's got some very entertaining thoughts that she doesn't hesitate to blurt out.

Re: 13-05-28 supermarkets have lied to me
i dunno, i don't really see didi as the violent bone-crushing rage type (violent bone-crushing lust type maybe (hehe, bone-crushing)). i sort of imagine her reaction would depend; giggle and flirt if she found you attractive, punch you in the face if she didn't.Raamyah wrote:I want to go on the record that I have never ever pinched a booth girl on the butt.

Enjoy it while you can, Sandra. You probably won't be allowed to eat another piece until you retire.

Re: 13-05-28 supermarkets have lied to me
Polish Gouda? That’s a lie right there in the name.
I know, “Gouda” doesn’t refer to the place in the Netherlands anymore, instead it means “any random solid cheese that doesn’t have features that would justify calling it something else”.

Re: 13-05-28 supermarkets have lied to me
Tanja, you would actually be surprised. While Gouda isn't exactly the best type of cheese we have in Poland - in fact, it's one of the supermarket regulars - it's still quite good. And we have a lot of our own brands which are even better. In fact, some of our supermarket cheeses would actually surprise you with their quality

Re: 13-05-28 supermarkets have lied to me
I think this strip is one of the funniest since the beginning, although I'm not I'm totally fine with Sandra's cluelessness turning into ditzyness.
Zoé is AWESOME ! I love her blunt yet useful professionalism
She may come up to appreciate Sandra's naiveté after all.
"Polish gouda" sounds sooooo fake in my ears. It's a shame gouda doesn't have a proper Protected Designation of Origin. Nothing against Polish cheese, but it should have a Polish name to be clearly differentiated from the real thing.
How is it possible to not like cheese ? It's the single one thing which could maybe one day make me believe there is a god.

Gouda is one of those foods with a non-protected name. According to Wikipedia it's wasn't made near there, Gouda was just the main trading town for it.

Re: 13-05-28 supermarkets have lied to me
Bambikles, most cheese names in Poland are either Polish (such as Morski, Podlaski or Rolada Ustrzycka) or are some sort of wordplay on the original name of a foreign cheese (such as Dziurdamer - something like Maasdamer, only with more holes in it, or Rokpol - a Polish variation of Roquefort). "Gouda" is kind of hard to twist like that, and as Hurbster said, it's not a protected name.
