In an earlier blog I wrote about my family's experience at Dunkin' Donuts. I talked about my mother's order of a bagel and cream cheese and the small tub of Philedelphia cream cheese they gave her to spread herself. Well after breakfast this morning, I think it is important to expand on this subject.
I went to breakfast at one of the cafeterias on campus. I got a blueberry bagel then went over to get some cream cheese. The cream cheese at this particular cafeteria, is in two large dishes, each with its own spreading knife. I put, what I expected to be enough to spread a thin layer on each half of my bagel, on the side of my plate. There was somebody on the side of me who was getting cream cheese form the other container. This person heaped a mound of cheese onto his plate.
From my experience with those small Philedelphia cream cheese tubs, his mound was way more than would fit into one of those tubs. What would he do at Dunkin' Donuts? Maybe, he would ask for two. Would they charge him extra? I know that at another cafeteria, on the other side of campus, they serve their cream cheese in those little tubs and charge you per tub. Dare I call this a scam???

I don't know. I personally don't consider cream cheese to be a cheese. Maybe it's because I never use it, but when I think cheese, I think swiss, provolone, american. All those great sliced cheeses. You can't slice cream cheese, can you?
Well, I guess that depends on how hard (for lack of a better word) the cheese it. Also, I think you should know that cheese comes in many forms... not just sliced. They come in many textures and can be cut and prepared in many ways. Take, for instance, grated parmesan (which is used to tope almost everything at the Olive Garden) or shredded mozzarella (commonly used to make pizza. ...give cream cheese a second thought and a chance. After all, it is the main ingredient in the beloved cheesecake.
