You're dead to me Dubliner Cheese slices.

Oafley Jones · 23-05-2016 01:16PM #1

Just making a toastie and I've discovered that Dubliner cheese slices have been reduced by 20%. Did they think people wouldnt notice this miserable sized slice now barely covers more than half the area of a bit of bread. What will protect the rest of the bread from the heat. Perhaps it's a conspiracy and the bread makers will make follow suit. Either way their convenance is gone. Outrage

Finally a thread about the REAL issues of the day.

I stand with you Oafley Jones.

Bring back the cheese! Bring back the cheese!

Get yourself an auld block of Calvita, with the vaguely creepy Children of the Corn style blond girl on the box.

Correct solution: don't eat cheese! It's rank.

I've a bunch of goats cheese and mozzarella form Aldi sitting in the fridge. Dubliner is nicest cheddar Carbery produce and they don't seem to repackage it for like/aldi.

I'm genuinely pissed off about this. Irrationally so because we've long experienced products getting smaller and smaller. I'm sure Easter eggs when I was a lad were the size of a small car; but this ****e bugs me because it's so transparent. Just put in less slices ya feckers.

Lyaiera · 23-05-2016 01:36PM

I'm looking forward to Aonghus' post about cheese. Should be a good 'in.

Aldi mature cheddar ftw. Chrunchy salt crystals!

Keane2baMused · 23-05-2016 02:00PM

Dubliner is way overpriced. You can get excellent mature cheddar in aldi and lidl

The bakers mustn't have aligned their cunning plan to reduce their loaf size by 20%, so they've all been found out!!

They can take our lives, but they will never take our cheese toasties!!!

Some of the Lidl cheese is rank though. I bought a block of cheddar there a few weeks ago and it was tasteless salty rubber. Bleurgh.

Was it a mild cheddar? They're not great!

I normally get mine in aldi and go for the mature cheddar, it's pretty good.

Next Brennan's bread will be reducing their sliced pan by 20% to fit the cheese.
Outrageous!

It's just like the cadbury's creme eggs all over again.
Talk to Joe.

I'm lactose intolerant, but there's a wonderful little Bavarian Cheesemongers close to the apartment. I'll sometimes pop in for a whole wheel of young Milbenkäse or a nice Limburger, lock myself in the sauna at home and eat it in one sitting while smelling my own farts.

Are you sure you haven't bought bigger bread?

ToddyDoody · 23-05-2016 03:41PM

GOT PUS?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows 750 million pus cells in every liter of milk (about two pounds). In Europe, regulators allow 400 million pus cells per liter. France and Italy are known for their magnificent cheeses. Perhaps that's their secret: Less pus!

Since it takes 10 pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese, a pound of cheese can contain up to 7.5 billion pus cells. If your American cheese is sliced so that there are 16 slices to a pound, that single slice of American or Swiss can contain over 468 million pus cells.

This cheese is dead to me since it is no longer made in Kilmeadan, and should by right now be called Ballyragget cheese.

Doesn't have the same ring to it.

Why oh why would anyone buy presliced or grated cheese.

Ready to horrified Dubs: Dubliner is made in Cork.

That's beside the point! What once was a much beloved cheese now fills me with rage every time I see it.

You could call it the ragget of cheddar.

Cause we're too busy leading our awesome lives to waste precious time on slicing/grating cheese. I feel sorry for those who have time to slice their own cheese as they obvioulsy aren't leading a super awesome happy fun life like those of use buying pre-sliced cheese

23-05-2016 04:01PM

I can't believe no one is addressing the fundamental flaw in the OP's methodology.

You NEVER make grilled cheese with sliced block cheese, NEVER. You make it with grated, with a splatter of Worchestershire sauce.

I'm all on board with either Dubliner or Kilmeaden cheese, but it's got to be grated fresh from the block for the proper bubbly, cheesy, yumminy result. It's the difference between meh and magnificent.

It is the sliced bread that got bigger

You should be happy.
