Fresh, unripened Ancien Impérial. Petit Gruyère _Denmark_ Imitation Gruyère, pasteurized, processed and made almost unrecognizable and inedible. Six tin-foil wedges to a box; also packaged with a couple of crackers for bars, one wedge for fifteen cents, where free lunch is forbidden. This is a fair sample of one of several foreign imitations that are actually worse than we can do at home. Petit Moule _Ile-de-France, France_ A pet name for Coulommiers. Petit Suisse _France_ Fresh, unsalted cream cheese. The same as Neufchâtel and similar to Coulommiers. It comes in two sizes: Gros--a largest cylinder Demi--a small one Keats called this "the creamy curd," and another writer has praised its "La Fontaine-like simplicity." Whether made in Normandy, Switzerland, or Petropolis, Brazil, by early Swiss settlers, it is ideal with honey. |
