Jack, I have submitted the name of Thor to Human Rights Violations. As it turned out I have received a reply from them that states their opinion on this matter as opposite to my view. They mention that until Americans discover for themselves the true meaning of what a fresh and meaningful combination of items that is properly cooks and delivered to the eater in an environment to be shared with others over a glass of wine or other drink that adds to, or refreshes the inside mouth for another food type, ..... fooie, ain't gunna happen. Last year on the tv news, a story of a usa restaurant owner that wanted to duplicate his experience of buying & eating cheese as he did while living in europe. I'am not sure why, but seems that the cheese that he imported from europe was not property aged before shipment to usa. Almost as if those producers in europe understood that americans expect something like that Cheeze-Wiz and would not appreicate a findy "tuned" cheese. So they shipped it "before its time". But this man knew the difference, and unable to obtain the large variety "tuned" correctly he did the only thing possible to correct the situation. He invested a large sum of money and built under his restaurant a cellar of old wood and dirt and whatever adds to the cheese process, along with modern electronic controls to create the correct temperature etc so that each type of cheese had its correct stay. As the story ended it showed this man open a recent arrived cheese from europe "ready for eating" and tasted a piece and declared that it needed more time under the correct conditions as found in his cheese cellar. Man O Man, to live next to this restaurant. I cannot remember the state/city or restaurant name. I do good strong beer with lots of character, and not the wines, but cheese yes and bread yes. doug yes mostly in my dreams i do the bread & cheese
