bridges v grum round 2…
Grum seems to believe I'm against having high-quality products. I'm not; quite the opposite. What I am against, is the elitism and snobbery that seems to go with certain products, and bullshit pretentious marketing guff. I totally understand that companies need to be able to distinguish their products against the competition, but this thread is about pretentiousness and waffle. Truth is; nobody would be able to tell the difference between cheese matured in an actual cave, or in a controlled environment which replicated the conditions. And any difference resulting in terms of taste etc, is mostly subjective anyway. I'm happy to pay a bit extra for a nice piece of cheese, rather than supermarket bland mediocrity, but I want to pay for the cheese itself, not the marketing guff. I don't care if it's matured in a cave, or under a railway arch, as long as it tastes good.
rather than supermarket bland mediocrity
Pff what an elitist hipster
No but it really is. Nothing to do with elitism there. Supermarkets also sometimes sell nice cheese. Waitrose does. 😉
