McSweeney's Reviews of New Food

A wonderful set of food reviews from McSweeney’s.

A particular favorite? The Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges. An excerpt:

If P.E. was the Crimean War of my middle-school life, then cheese was my Florence Nightingale. Every day after school, I sought refuge in Kids in the Hall reruns and a thick block of lactose-filled comfort. Crackers? Not necessary. Just a sturdy slice off the Costco block of cheese—usually cheddar or gouda—that perpetually haunted the refrigerator shelves. Cream, cottage, curd, wheel, baby loaf: these were the materials from which happiness was fashioned.

Ah, this is all making me hungry.
