A touch of goatiness

Loblaws is dangerous place, isn’t it? I feel like I always have to be on guard whenever I go in there because inevitably I’ll end up buying some new President’s Choice product that I don’t need just because it’s quirky or new. I mean, that’s how we got into the lychee soda (holy crap, that’s nice), dulce de leche spread (mildly sweet–just right), and Indian naan bread (quite awesome).

Anyway, once again I was seduced into trying something new. My mom and I were over by the cheeses and we were intrigued by this PC spreadable goat cheese and herb thing. We thought we’d be adventurous and try it out. This morning we brought it out and she was the first to take some and spread it on a cracker. The first thing she said after taking a bite: “uhh, this tastes like goat.” I could only laugh because, yeah, that would make sense, wouldn’t it? I didn’t think it would be that strong because my mother is already not too much of a fan of goat in general. So I spread it on some toasted naan and took a bite. Umm…yeah…that was really goaty.

We didn’t enjoy it at all. We now have a small container of goat cheese spread that we need to find a use for. We need to pause and take a moment to figure out something that could use a touch of goatiness. I’m sure we can come up with something. Ideas?
