Last night I was treated to dinner at the Olive Garden. The Olive Garden is a chain restaurant that serves Italian cuisine. I am not sure about its authenticity, but I am sure that their food is delicious. Well, my purpose of this post is to mention the cheese they use to top your soup, salad and pasta dishes.
At the Olive Garden, your waiter or waitress will always ask you if you would like some cheese on whatever dish you happen to be eating. You can have in on your appetizer or your entre. I always get cheese, lots of it, on my salad and pasta. The waiter (or waitress) grates it right at the table, over your dish, until you tell him (her) that's enough.
I always thought that cheese was Parmesean. After all, that's what I use to top my salad and pasta dishes. Well let me let you in on something I learned last night. ...They use Romano cheese to top all of their delicious food! I never knew that and I was kind of shocked. I even came home and asked my mom what she thought the olive garden used. She answer, "Parmesean."
Is anyone else suprised by this? Well, what I now know is that I'm gonna look into buying Romano cheese for my house. It is really good!

Weird! I think I've heard of a parmagian-romano cheese. That might be incorrect... but I wonder if it does exist and that is where we get that thinking?
