Mozzarella and Ketchup
Carrefour, the major supermarket chain closest to our apartment in Beijing, sells shredded mozzarella. It comes in resealable red plastic packets. We have bought it twice during our stay in Beijing.
One night we came home tired and didn’t have much food at home. We did have shredded mozzarella, ketchup, and bread, though. I made myself a couple of sandwiches with these ingredients. They weren’t as bad as I had feared. Yes, cheese makes every situation better.
No Cheese Except on a Pizza
I haven’t had cheese other than on slices of pizza today. Well, I guess that counts for a lot of cheese, though. They put lots of mozzarella on slices of pizza, which is why I like them in the first place.
Pizza is probably how many children in the United States are introduced to cheese. It can be found everywhere you go. It is also extremely easy to make, because all of the ingredients are readily available. You can buy a ball of pizza dough for around $1.50, and then all you need is tomatoes and cheese at the minimum.
