How about a little Parmigiano

American here, can confirm Gjetost is delicious (YAY-toast) You can find it at Safeway or QFC, usually it's a brand called "Ski Queen" It's in a bright orange cube, hard to miss.

I'd describe the taste as a very sweet, very nutty cheese--it's good with fruit, or on warm toast.

Looks like this

And some brown cheese!

depends on how much you love your sister...

enourmously

a lot! bien sur!

a bunch!, but she's kinda stinky

let's be realistic, she's just my sister...

hey her husband should be shelling out the big bucks not me...

meh, if it's round, it's a wheel, right?

"Real" halloumi (from Google) : $1 an oz

This milk derived product: probably $50 per ton

Here you go.

I know you said online, but cheese is one of the last food items I'd want to buy online. I also know you said you weren't close to a big city, but you should be able to find good parmesan in smaller-than-big cities. Even in most larger-than-small cities, I'd hope.

In any case (even if you do buy your cheese online) the easiest thing is to look for one of two specific kinds of parmesan: Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano. They are both made in Italy to particular specifications and they are both truly excellent.

You will find plenty of places selling Reggiano online, and at least a few selling Grana Padano too. If you buy online, however, you get the piece that somebody else picked out for you, instead of the one you picked out for yourself.

Both of these excellent cheeses are delicious right up to the rind, but (like most round foods) they are at their very most delicious in the center. A small crumble from the center of a freshly-cut wheel of Regiano is my very favorite cheese I've ever tasted.

When I sold cheese, I used to cut Reggiano in wedges, to distribute the rind among as many pieces as possible The wedges from the top and bottom of the wheel always sold well (maybe because they looked sort of like a piece of pie?) but those would be my last choice.

My first choice would be a piece with the lowest rind-to-center ratio. You can only find those by going out to the store and looking for them, though.

My local, non-big city chain grocery store doesn't sell Grana Padano, but it always has Reggiano for a regular price of $19/pound. A half a pound of Reggiano (or Grana Padano) will go a lot further than $8.50 worth of that Kraft cardboard-in-a-can crap would. But even if you buy some other domestic parmesan (Bel Gioso doesn't suck) at least buy a chunk of it and grate it yourself.

They're also pretty low carb too, about one gram per cracker. These are good too: gluten free and even less carbs.

You could look for Ski Queen. http://www.tine.no/9124/ski-queen

Anyone have $20?

EDIT: Oh, and some for shipping...

pork rinds are my go-to dip and chip replacement. You might also check out these :https://www.amazon.com/Cello-Artisan-Parmesan-Protein-serving/dp/B01B5EF0OK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1466711471&sr=8-1&keywords=low+carb+chip

Oops, I guess that's just a brand.

I spend two weeks in Norway (a fair bit in a small town called Haugesand) and loved the breakfasts, with that brown cheese, fish eggs, etc...

I think people are SERIOUSLY underestimating the cheese one.

1k of cheese every 10 seconds.

At that point, it's not just that you can start a cheese shop. You're a god damn cheese factory.

Let's do a rough estimate.

So I went on amazon and clicked the first cheese link that was in grams.

https://www.amazon.com/French-Feta-Cheese-Easy-Open-600g/dp/B000LRH4MY

$26 for 600 grams of cheese, meaning $43.33 every 10 seconds. So let's say you do this 5 times a minute (because you're probably not going to be that strict with yourself). So $216 a minute, $13000 an hour, $104000 on an 8 hour work day, $520000 on a 5 day work week, meaning roughly 2 million per month, 25 million per year.

On top of that, it's a party trick and you'll never starve come some doomsday scenario.

Why pick up wealth at all? It's less than a day's work with cheese.

Our local Costco carries Cello Whisps Parmesan Cheese Crisps - great for keto snacking!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B5EF0OK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_uh4Azb8PTYSEZ

They also have coconut milk, coconut oil, and almond flour in bulk if you use any of those in recipes...

Probably this (shipping is $11.50).

Costco has these as well as these

BACON. I never really was a huge fan until after I started Keto and now I crave it all the time. But I have a newfound appreciation for it.

Also these freaking cheese whisps

I gotchu fam

You can get a smaller box on Amazon link.

Here is the one that Sam's Club lists but with a price: $105.75.

btw I'd totally like to get my hands on some.

This is more or less just a PSA that parmesan cheese crisps make an excellent “guac vehicle”, a.k.a. tortilla chip substitute.

I buy these ones from Costco, and while they’re just small enough to be kind of annoying—I don’t have the patience to DIY them. I know I’ve seen recipes for this though. Maybe there’s a way to make them tortilla chip shaped too, idk.


You can use any guac recipe, for the record. This is what I call “guac for one”, but you can double the recipe as many times as you want. Adjust the avocado content to your personal macros. Also, really every ingredient here is “to taste”—if you like more, add more.

1 medium haas avocado - halved, pitted, and peeled

1 wedge of lime

1/8 medium onion - diced

1/4 roma tomato - seeded and diced

1 tsp fresh cilantro - finely chopped

1/3 clove fresh garlic - minced extremely finely, to a paste

sea salt - to taste

pepper - to taste

Put the avocado in a medium mixing bowl and mash the pulp. I like to leave it a little chunky, but you do you. Add salt and pepper to taste. I just use our tabletop shakers to avoid adding too much. Squeeze the wedge of lime to release some juice. Discard the wedge. Add fresh garlic paste. Mash the avocado again to combine. Fold in the onions, tomatoes, and cilantro.

You’re done. Enjoy with cheese crisps.

First off, I think this is the most elaborate contest I've ever participated in, so congratulations for that :P Fear cuts deeper than swords. I hope some of my items are awesome enough for some extra credit ;) Also I wasn't sure if duplicates are allowed. I will revise if necessary.

1.) Something grey and it's been on my wishlist.

9.) Movie As a Browncoat, I would encourage anyone who has a remote interest in Sci-Fi to give this a chance. Previously on my wishlist.

10.) Zombie tool I don't think this needs explanation.

I know it's as expensive as dicks...but man...when these are affordable...

Bonus 2) Made in Oregon I would have put Tillamook Ice Cream, since it's pretty awesome...but alas not on Amazon.

Edit: Changed an item because I saw it won't count because it's a duplicate.

I like to surprise myself with random foreign cheeses. I bought something called Ski Queen. Tastes like fucking candy. It's super weird. SUPER weird. You should all try it.

http://www.amazon.com/Ski-Queen-Gjetost-Original-Cheese/dp/B002XWZH1U

You can get an 80lb wheel for about $1000 USD from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Land-Lakes-American-Yellow-Process/dp/B00B04ADCU

Although I'm not sure it ever expires, 5 lb is a whole lotta cheese!

well yeah

https://www.amazon.com/Parmigiano-Reggiano-Bonati-Riserva-Approximately/dp/B0029Y12G6

its cheese bro

what do you expect. it taste like cheese.

here's an 80 pound wheel of parmigiano reggiano for just over 3 grand. idk the size of the one in the post, but there's a benchmark at least.

Breakfasts - Bulletproof coffee, and some coldbrew coffees with cream till lunch

Lunches - protein shake, with some Cello cheese crisps

Dinners - Hubby's in charge tonight and tomorrow, so probably bacon wrapped hotdogs or some scramble (bacon, broccoli cheese and scrambled eggs). I'll make Hamburger salads or some keto veggie succotash (zuchinni, broccoli, and cauliflower cooked with bacon) later in the week. I've also got some low carb Chicken Tikka Masala in the fridge, make some cauliflower rice with it, Yum!!

It looks like this

Check out cello cheese whisps for a salty/crunchy snack. Takes like a cheesier cheese it.

Did you happen to write a review of this cheese. There is also plenty of other good reviews

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0738RBZ8K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Parmesan whisps. I'm not a fan of pork rinds, so these are great for satisfying that crochet craving when i get tired of nuts. You can also get these at Costco usually if there's one near you. They're amazing.

I had bought some parmesan cheese crisps, these
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B5EF0OK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Had them for the first time tonight, counting out 1 serving (15 pieces), plus 4 tablespoons of sour cream and onion dip. Yum yum yum.

when these are gone, I'm gonna make them myself

I usually have some kind of cheese in my fridge as well as roast chicken (i buy a rotisserie chicken once a week). I also have moon cheese as a non-perishable as well as the aforementioned quest bars and zero carb protein powder.

you can also get the value pack from Amazon at $19/3 bags

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3MKFHX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

nvm. Wrong pack size. Thanks those who commented

I bought this the other day and it should arrive today. I'm curious how this will work out. \^_^

Whisps are good, I think, and they have 0 net carbs, which is also good:

Whole foods and Wegmans both have it for sure. Also Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Ski-Queen-Gjetost-Original-Cheese/dp/B002XWZH1U

Better Price, and Prime-able

Moon Cheese

It's just cheese, so it is 1 carb per serving of 6-7 pieces, so 2 carbs per 14 pieces. These are my go to, but they're a bit on the expensive side and you do have to be careful not to eat the whole bag in one sitting...:D

Haha some of the customer reviews for it are just great

Amazon has it.

Canister or bottle
https://www.amazon.com/Kraft-Grated-Parmesan-Cheese-Canister/dp/B06XQ23K58

Moon Cheese is lightweight and portable.

Epic Uncured Bacon bars are a little on the heavy side, but if you have a campsite, they could work.

Have you seen these?

These are my favorite baked cheese bars... less than 1 carb... https://www.amazon.com/Just-Cheese-Crunchy-Baked-Snack/dp/B0738RBZ8K/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1537558001&sr=8-3&keywords=just%2Bthe%2Bcheese%2Bbars&dpID=519-DBLV1qL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1

I'm not sure if Starbucks has their own version, but if it's this moon cheese, I'm snacking on it now and love it!

I thought it was the ConAgra cheese sticks. At least those are the ones I had over here in the south.

I miss these babies. Burritos. Kellogg's frosted mini-wheats. Decent, inexpensive wine. Fabulous, reasonably-priced wine. Wild-caught salmon. Cheap beef. Rustic bread. Food co-ops. Popeye's Fried Chicken. Smoked pork shoulders. Bacon and eggs cooked just so. Soul food. Turkey. Pies. Decent hamburgers. Real Pizza. Cardini's Caesar Salad Dressing. Romaine lettuce. Triscuits. Well made flour tortillas. Cheap corn tortilla chips. Jalapeño peppers.
Edit: Oh yeah, gravy.

Those cheese wheels should be worth a lot more at vendors.

Lots of Tex Mex restaurants use Land O Lakes American Extra Melt White Process Cheese Loaf which is not sold in grocery stores. There is an old discussion on reddit here.

here!

I guess I should have mentioned that you're forced to buy a three pack if you want prime shipping. It's a pack less than the site makes you buy, though.

You can order it on Amazon but you cold also get away with any mild cheddar.

You should check out Parmesan cheese whisps, they sell them at costco, or you can get them on amazon in that link. They are a great cheesey chip substitute

Try the Babylon Cheese Cellar


EDIT: TIL you can order cheese off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Grana-Padano-Aged-Over-months/dp/B000ZV7CWI

you can order it on Amazon, though it is expensive and you have to get 6-5lb blocks at once. FYI, 5lbs of easy melt makes a ton of queso, just enough for one sitting! :-)

This is true, you can! Although I found it at my local food service outlet store (a cash-and-carry Sysco outlet.) And if you have a GFS store in town you may be able to find it there as well.

ETA: This is this correct cheese referenced in my recipe. I don't know what alchemy they do to it to make it different but it does make a tangible difference from regular WhAm.

https://www.amazon.com/Kraft-Grated-Parmesan-Cheese-Canister/dp/B06XQ23K58

Ooh, I’ll check them out, thanks! My go-to chip swap is the Whisp crackers in Parmesan cheese. We get them at Costco for cheap. The other flavors are good, too, but Parmesan is addictive. I eat them plain, with dip, and crushed on salad. Sometimes I make Parmesan crisps myself, too, but these are just their own delicious version. They have 1g carbs and 150 calories for 23 chips, which is a really generous portion.

i held out hope it was a type of cheese or a process. Nope. Cheapest and easiest possible way. I feel dirty I love it so much.

They only sell it by the case in 5 lb blocks on the internet. So...get some friends.

Sams carries it as noted.

i've studied this a lot and have tried all of the Mexican soft cheeses. This is what restaurants use according to what I've seen on the internet and through experimentation.

if you don't have a Sams around then Velveeta Queso is close.
