    POV: your mom convinced you to run errands with her because you'd get to try some cheese

Transcript

I need to have, a full mozzarella. Alrighty. I'll grab some. And of course, I'm gonna Luxerelli de bufala from Casalare. Scaccianta. Beautiful. This is called Pepino. It is from the North Of France in the Loire Valley. Just super smooth and sweet and decadent. Alright. Let's just put that. Perfect. I'd probably think of it like a big deal. I would do something, like, better. Like, I have a blackcurrant jam from Milan Milat out there that's would be awesome. That guy? Exactly. Better try a hard cheese. Yeah. Let's try a hard cheese. Let's take a chance on it. This is one of my favorite things right now. It's called Adare. This is a goat sheep blend from Southern France. This is more like eau sotania in the Basque.
