I rushed out (to the net) and bought 1 kg of parmesan. Just as well I can freeze it. As it turns out it looks like the pollies snuck in just over the line and passed the law on Mar 31. http://www.jiji.com/jc/zc?k=200903/2009033100064 You gotta hand it to 'em. They passed it for just one more year. Let me guess, we'll be rushing out to buy cheese again this time next year? Thanks for the tip.

Think you should be warned though, the anti-spam word for this comment leaver was "cats". Smell a rat? Thanks for the slice of advice.

Last week, he picked up 12 lbs. of it so our refrigerator is stuffed to the brim. If you're looking to score cheap cheese, Costco is the place to go.
