A
Chat
on
Cheese
favorite
English
sandwich,
while
fresh
whole
wheat
bread
with
slices
of
American
cream
cheese
and
English
mustard
is
"
not
to
be
sneezed
at."
"
Cheese
and
bread
make

German.
Cheese,
like
tobacco,
is
at
last
being
dignified
with
literature
of
its
own.
The
daily
papers
are
cartooning
the "
Cheshire
Cheese,"
that
delightful
old
inn
in
the
*'
Dreams
of a
Welsh
Rabbit,"
and,
if
you
please,
Wine
Office
Court
off
Fleet
Street
in
London,
where
Dr.
Johnson
ate
toasted
cheese
and
pudding
and
drank
his
musty
ale,
has published
an
interesting
history
of
this,
the
most
perfect
old
tavern
existing
in
London,
its
title
being
''
The
Book
of
the
Cheese."
Goldsmith,
who
lived
nearby,
used
to
sit
there
with
Dr.
Johnson,
and
there
are
many
souvenirs
shown
of
the
two
famous
litterateurs.
And
the
cheese?
Was
there
ever
anything
to
com-
pare
with
the
toasted
cheese
one
has
there?
It's
an
idealized
sort
of
rabbit,
served
up
in
little
square
tins
on
slices
of
toast
and
brought
in
sizzling
and
set
before
one
on
the
rough
board
bench
with
a
mug
of
musty
or
a
pitcher
of
ale
and
porter
mixed
and
frothing
over
deliciously.
The
secret
of
the
toasted
cheese
is,
like
that
of
the
pudding,
jealously
guarded,
and
it is
said
that
but
one
man
in
London
ever
know^s
at
one
time
just
how
the
trick
is
done.
But
it's
a
morsel
that
is
well
worth
crossing
the
Atlantic
for,
provided
one
isn't
satisfied
with
his
own
chafing
dish
cheese
stunts.
