The Swiss Cheese Falcon

[substitute]

We're about six weeks into the Great Swiss Cheese Shortage Mystery of 2008. Seriously the supermarkets around here have no swiss cheese.

The fancier places have better 'swiss cheese' and Gruyere, Comté, etc. But the big box supermarkets just don't have it. Not in blocks, not sliced, not shredded.

Did a Swiss Cheese Container Ship sink? Are the Swiss Cheese Truckers on strike? WTF Kroger?

I know I've seen swiss cheese recently?

LOL THEY RAN OUT OF HOLES

All you need is some muenster and a small round cookie cutter. Wait, no, muenster is too soft. Hmmm... so is havarti. And gouda only seems to come in wheels. And romano is too hard. Okay, I give up. I'm not sure how to fake it.

Oh! Provolone may work! Oh, and skip the cookie cutter and go straight for the 12-gauge of buckshot.

I can't say I've noticed any sort of shortage up here, but then I can't say I've looked. We were at Trader Joe's yesterday and went straight for the blocks of parmesan. Before that, it was a couple of weeks since we went grocery shopping anywhere besides the asian market (which does not, as I recall, stock cheese.)

Perhaps the Swiss have taken sides, and not with us?

Other than that, I've got nothing.

Speculation on Swiss cheese futures have driven prices through the roof. Regular supermarkets aren't carrying them right now 'cause they know customers wouldn't be able to afford it.

The Cheese Men of Flanders have captured the world's supply of Swiss Cheese with no intention of letting any go.

Ween: Where'd The Cheese Go?

Thank you. That pic, dear God. And I love the Ween cheese. Forgot about that one!

Baby, baby, where did our cheese go?

I've got some Jarlsberg here. It's not Helveticish, but there's plenty of holes in it. Wish I could send you some.

Could some large distributor be on strike?
