I have been facing a serious problem for last 2 years. 2 years ago, I decided to go to school to get MA in counseling psychology. I thought I would be able to work 30 hours/week during day time and go to school at night. I don't know what I was thinking---amount of the homework and reading assignments are not something I could do being a part time student. So I end up taking student worker position at school. As you can imagine, student workers are the cheapest labor ever. I am not complaining about my pay check here. I really like what I do at school and I don't mind the very little pay check that I receive. One problem is that I feel guilty buying expensive cheese! So I have only been buying my guilty-pleasure of Manchego only about once every few months.
Anyway, I got the cheese bug going again, so I decided to walk over to Whole Foods to get my fix. As I was looking for my Manchego cheese, I realized that perhaps I should start looking for a cheaper alternative for Manchego! I decided to grub another hard cheese. I looked and looked, contemplated for good 10 minutes to deicide. And my decision--Mahon cheese.
My verdict today
Manchego cheese gets 5 stars
Mahon cheese gets 2 stars
Yes, it was KO by Manchego.
And my search for cheaper alternatives to Manchego continues.
