It feels like I've been away far too long..  But, today is Colby day..  It's raining and the planned BBQ (real BBQ - not frying a snags or chops) has been postponed until next weekend.  So, flipped the schedules around and Colby it is.   I did a Colby late last year and just opened it up and although to wasn't a great cheese - it certainly melts well and eats nicely on crackers.  The fault was the wash temperature was not low enough and the middle sort of went a bit crumbly. I'll post photos of the previous cheese and todays control sheet as the day goes on.... It's nice to be back.

Here is the recipe I'm using.

Ah, Mal's back in the mix. 

What's a "snag"?

[/quote]
A snag is a tube of indeterminate contents but often containing offal, fat, flour, sawdust and, occasionally, meat. There are many other possible contents but then there are some things it is better not to know about. It is traditionally cooked on a barbecue and may be eaten in some circumstances depending on the (a)confidence, (b)hunger, (c)desperation or (d)inebriation of the consumer.
Alternatively, it may be fed to the dog.
In some parts of the world it is referred to as a sausage.

This made me giggle.

Pretty sure it's a slang term for a sausage.

Yes, but Andrew (Raw Prawn)'s description was a lot more entertaining.

I am sure this is what Boofer is referring to

Urban Dictionary: Snag

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Snag

Sensitive New Age Guy (S.N.A.G). Similar to the Metrosexual, but more timid and sensitive. Dense clusters of Snag's can be found at woman's issues rallies.

It's ok Mal we are all inclusive here. hehehehehe

That's okay, my wife's from England so we have spotted dick and faggots for dinner.   Wasn't this thread about Colby? LOL

Sorry Mal I digress again. Did I say welcome back?

Thanks, Al, what a prime treat for Easter.  

Points go to Raw Prawn for the definitive description...and to john H for the alternative POV.

What was that about "Colby"?

-Boofer-

Oh Al... I too am originally from the UK but your 'faggot' post was a great laugh.  Yes this was a Colby post - but hey let it go where it may...

Doing a Cheddar tomorrow.  It's good to be back in the fold

Two more next week I can cut and package my Big Easy Blue.  Then I'm cleaning out the cave and doing one of your cheddars and a bunch of other stuff.  Need some bloomies and maybe another Vacherin Mont D'Or attempt.  Got to fill the cave back up and I just can't do that with a blue in there.
