[Fot] california cheese????

[Bill Babcock]

And let's not forget Oregon. Tillamook Cheese is one of the most  
recognized cheddars in the US. We also have the famous Bandon Cheddar  
(though there really isn't a cheese plant in Bandon anymore) and make  
some very nice artisan cheeses like Blue Heron and Rogue Blue.  
However, there's not that much cheese leaving the state. We only make  
71 million pounds and we eat about 160 million (which of course  
includes all that "american" cheese that little kids and the  
gastronomically immature seem to enjoy), so there's not much to of  
the good stuff to spare. If you Wisconsin folks are interested in  
trying something better I can bring a block or two of Tillamook in Nero.
