There's nothing snobbish about eating cheese. However, if you think that your cheese preferences makes you better than regular Joes, you could be a snob. Being a snob makes you a person of low moral character. Pride is the first of the seven deadly sins and you could land up in hell for eternity being forced to eat sardines dipped in Cheez Whiz - unless, of course, you happen to like sardines dipped in Cheez Whiz. :)

If I am, I'm chucking it at nobody in particular. Do you see me aiming at anybody? Should I be throwing it at a poster? Let me know who that person is and I'll pray for Jesus to smite/smote him with magic thunderbolts. :)

Regular snobs are a dime a dozen. The inverse snob OTOH, now that sounds interesting!

The opposite is common too. Glorifying average Joe-ness. Or average
Hawaiianess. It's still snobbery.

That's the Hawaiians for you. It's a state that is made of former peons and plantation workers and we don't like folks that think they're better than other people. So sue me. Ha ha.

If you live in an area that does not have good cheese, they probably
don't carry the kits either.
 
To have it on the spur of the moment, you have to have good bread on and
to dip too.
 
If you like them, go for it. Never tried one so I have no idea how good
or bad they are.

I, for one, would suggest calling anything made with real vanilla "Premium Vanilla" from now on. Of course, one has to be honest and say "vanilla flavored" when using artificial vanilla, but what more can you do? One has to make a profit, after all.

what smell? You must be thinking of another shop. Subway is a
sandwich shop. Unless you are bothered by the smell of bread baking?

I didn't think soy had an offensive smell at all.

If you're talking about a Subway sandwich shop, I know what you're talking about. It's a most peculiar smell. It has nuances of something decaying. My guess is that it's the smell of frozen bread dough defrosting.

There's a new Subway in town, opened about a year ago, adjacent to
theTops Super Market. I looked in once and about faced, the place was
empty of customers and nothing looked or smelled good, and they don't
bake bread, shipped in from somewhere... can see their menu on the
wall, prices seemed high. Right next door Tops Market has a good
deli, every kind of cold cuts, many brands, plus all sorts of hot subs
and salads too, even rotisserie chicken, deep fried too... almost
always a line, gotta take a number. All the contractor types are
there before breakfast buying breakfast and lunch on the way to their
jobs. I don't think that Subway will last much longer without
customers. There's no way Subway can compete with a supermarket deli.
I will occasionally buy a sandwich at that deli and they are good, but
I'd rather buy sliced coldcuts and build my own at home at my
convenience. There are several very good delis nearby, two German and
one Italian, I'll stop at those if I happen to be passing. The Super
Walmarts are actually the best delis but each is a 20 mile drive one
way... they are the best because they are the cleanest, and they have
the best selection... only ngative is I tend to buy too much at
Walmart and and cold cuts are really not good for me.
Tonight's dinner is an eyeround, baked potato, and some frozen veg not
decided till the boss is back from golf... but I'm thinking
broccoli... my Oriental style orange broccoli; soy sauce, toasted
sesame seed oil, fresh ground white pepper, granulated garlic, MSG,
orange marmalade, a smidge of red pepper flakes.
These are very nice broccoli florets, Wellsley Farms
from BJs, a 4lb bag, no stems. Will be a later than usual dinner. . .
golf!

Once upon a time, in a neighborhood far awary; well, actually it was about
35 years ago, adjacent to the St. Louis University campus, there was a sub
shop that has made all subsequent subs inferior. Sloopy's Sub Shop was my
favorite place to grab a quick dinner before class as I completed my degree
via night school.
 
I no longer recall, perhaps I never knew, which of St. Louis' Italian
bakeries provided the bread. Many of the small bakeries from "The Hill"
(the Italian part of town) are still around and I could probably find the
bread. The ingredients were all outstanding and I'm sure the meats were
from topnotch providers, such as Oldani and Volpi. The sub variety I always
ordered were assembled and seasoned with something from a big shaker, then
"dressed" with a vinegar oil and oregano dressing. I'm sure I ate well over
a hundred of them as I completed my degree and they define what a sub should
be for me. I have never found a sub shop that could come close to the
perfection of Sloopy's.
