The Chronic Consumer

I can’t get enough of processed cheese snacks, so I’m surprised it took me so long to discover The Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges. This brand, which originated in France, has been around since 1921 (according to Wikipedia), and has been available in my local supermarket ever since I can remember. I’ve always seen the red cow logo; I just never bothered buying the products.

Anyway, a couple months ago I was at my mom’s house for lunch and she convinced me to try the Light Swiss flavor. The cheese comes in convenient wedge-shaped individual servings, and is very easy to spread. I just put put mine on a couple slices of french bread, spreading the cheese much as I would butter or another topping. I know it sounds kind of plain, but it tasted great! From that point forward, I was hooked!

In addition to Creamy Swiss, Laughing Cow cheese also comes in Creamy Swiss, Light Garlic & Herb, Light Onion, and more. I have tried most of them, and prefer the Swiss flavors to the others, though all are rather tasty.

I usually have Laughing Cow cheese and bread whenever I’m in the mood for a light breakfast, lunch, or snack. Each wedge only has 35 calories, which is amazing because it tastes so rich, and is perfect on bread, crackers, or even by itself.

If you like processed cheese as much as I do, you just have to try The Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges for yourself. These things are awesome!
