[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 856632, member: 12570"] In the photo above, 2X, 3X, and 4X refer to the sharpness of cheddar, which is the only kind of cheese with any local gravitas. Mild, medium, and sharp are irrelevant — bland supermarket cheese. The X-rated versions are made at the cheese factory in town, which has had several different owners through the years and now belongs to multi-state Great Lakes cheese, which bought it from the milk producers cooperative Dairylea sometime in the late 80s/early 90s. But the 2X/3X/4X system predates Great Lakes by a good long while. My own family is a 4X family, with 2X kept on hand for children and dogs. (Not for the elderly, who tend to like 4X just fine, alongside their Canadian rye, and their laments for the faded popularity of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limburger_cheese"][COLOR=#0060ff]Limburger[/COLOR][/URL].) Chunks of it are served along almost anything, including pie. My uncle eats 4X crumbled on his breakfast cereal. [/QUOTE]
