As I'm fond of pointing out, cheese is a funny food. And when you have a name like Kutter's Cheese, well, it's laffs-a-plenty.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kutter:

I'm hosting an enormous graduation party for my nephew this January. His parents are well-to-do, and intent on giving him the best of everything.

Somehow they have it in their minds that they would like a 100 pound cheese log as the centerpiece of the hors d'ouevre table. Could you fulfill such an order? How much would it cost to ship?

Please respond as quickly as possible, as I still need to order the crackers.

Many thanks in advance,
John Myers Hargrave

P.S. Do you sell salami?

This isnt some kind of joke, no? 100 pound cheese log? Does it have to be in the shape of a log? The problem is that most cheese is made in 40 pound blocks. It gets the shape from the curds being pressed together. Getting 100 pounds of cheese pressed together in the shape of a log is no small feat!

Yours,

Tom Kutter
