Welcome back everyone to another inauguration of an ongoing procession of experiments. However, rather than find different uses for a single item as with my previous post, the objective for this series will be to test a selection of different cheeses for any given situation. So, with that said, it’s time to corral the cheeses and start the tasting!

What Can One Do With Parmesan Crusts? (Inaugural Edition)
It never occured to me before I started writing about it that the crust on a slice of parmigiano-reggiano is in fact just the cheese itself, albeit harder. If it’s thrown away then perfectly good cheese is being wasted. I have sadly been guilty of this heinous crime all too often so now I want to explore the available alternatives.
Every new method attempted at consuming the previously disposable cheese (whether a success or failure) will be reported here in an ongoing series with the aim of answering a simple question. How can we best use the crusts?

The Parmesan Song
Before I officially store away parmigiano-reggiano with a post later this week, I’ve already added it to the Storage page. The link there will take you to a great article about parmesan, the highlight of which is this amazing video that I also want to showcase here.
An advert for cheese has no right to make me this happy. Seriously, if there’s a DJ anywhere in the world that plays this I want to know.
Pa-pa-pa…
