Cheese Bread at Strange Fellows

After Kishimoto my dining buddy and I went for a walk and detoured here aftetr -- no lie -- seeing one of the Strange Fellows Brewery cars. My friend was thinking of a beer, and voila! the car appears and we figured it might be going to a brewery nearby.

I'm not a drinker, so take that into account when I review the strange eats here. They offer a Caramelized Cheese Bread that's really more cheese than bread. The veggie one has token veggie (one shrivelled stick of asparagus you can't even taste).

My friend and her beer agree the saltiness helps with the beer.
For me, this was two parts -- cheese cracker and token bread.
Cheese part was salty salty salty.
Bread was a sort of croissant? Puff pasty? Anyway, really light and flaky. Don't try to tear chunks off. Trim the cheese around it then pick it up and eat it. Sweet chili sauce here made it edible.

For $5.25 this is more of a pricey novelty and to have some cheese crackers. Don't buy a couple hoping it'll add up to a burger.

Nice space, friendly staff, eye-straining menu behind the counter on the wall.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin...
