Especially at PnP.

A couple of days ago Dairy Bell Colchester cheese was still R59. Now it is R75.


I know it will probably come down again sometime next month, but why the drastic fluxuations among most of the, large-volume-production cheeses (the yellow cheeses in plastic film, not the gourmet cheeses ... ... those are anyway insanely expensive and don't work so well on sandwiches)?

its the etoll and fuel price increases..

it takes nearly 90l of fuel to move a block of cheese didnt you know?
 
But seriously, cheddar cheese are sometimes R69 and then suddenly R59 only to jump to R69 again ... in my experience.
 
And on the other side of the world they get it so cheap they just roll it down the hill.

You're wrong, sorry

Look: This stuff is really dense, Christmas tree shaped buds; I would call these nearly albino, in the sense that what should be dark or with more color is actually nearly white-washed. The leaves are tiny and uniform and are covered with fine transparent crystals. The hairs are fine and very light yellow-white-orangish. It breaks up with a bit of effort, but I did not have the heart to throw this in a grinder and lose some of its crystals and smell.

Smell: The smell in the bag is actually quite cheesy, like an artificial cheddar cheese, almost like from an old Cheetos bag. There is also a soft danky smell (NL: een beetje muf) After you start breaking it up a little more, the scent turns slightly fruity, slightly savoury, with an unmistakable nearly gaseous and heavy smell. There is such a fine funk associated with this weed strain: I can’t wait to smell it burning.

Taste: I had to chew on the stem and it too, possessed many traits like the smell. Chomping on the stem also left my tongue slightly numb. Somehow the flavor of this in a vapourisor reminds me of a thin crusted pizza that has taken some of the flavour from the metal pan it was on. There’s also a little bit of anisette left behind which I had noticed last year from this strain. Consistency is always good…

I know, I was at woolies earlier - R85 per kg of organic chicken! I went with organic lean beef at R100 per kg instead.
