Cravin' Cheese Haven

extra cheese? Why not head another 25 minutes west or so and go to the CHEESE HAVEN in Marblehead/Port Clinton off of Rte 163. Mmmmm! Everything and anything cheese related...up to and including..I am "so" not kidding..a chocolate cheese log. They claim to sell over 125 forms of cheese...and best of all...free samples all day long!! That and the numerous inappropriate Facebook photos you can take next to the signs that say "extra long summer sausage" or "try my Polish kielbasa", etc. You get the drift. It's a hoot!

This place is a Summer requirement if you live or work in Northwest Ohio.

2920 E. Harbor Rd.
Port Clinton, Ohio

My friends & I even started a Facebook group dedicated to "fans of fromage" entitled "Cravin' Cheese Haven". Visit it on Facebook!!

I'm not a fan. It's pretty expensive. If you want some cheese, of any kind, for a low price, check out the Amish Country in southeast Ohio. Sure, it's a much longer trip to it than Cheese Haven, but it's worth it.

No. You're both wrong.

Everybody knows if you want real cheese, you've got to travel to Cheddar, Sommerset UK. :rolleyes:

Cheese Haven is fun. I got some really good aged cheddar there last summer. The cheese available in Amish country is good and the shops are less "cheesy" than the touristy Cheese Haven. Too bad it's about 30 miles west of the middle of nowhere.

You know there is a state that's nickname is America's Dairyland on the other side of Lake Michigan. If you want some quality cheese you might want to head out there. Just a suggestion from a Wisconsin ex-patriot :).

But, real cheese comes from happy cows, and happy cows.... come from California. :)

^Yeah because smog, wildfires, volcanoes, and earthquakes makes cows happy. They are much happier in WI where they know that they outnumber the humans. California cheese bites, Vermont makes better cheese then them.

No Cali makes more world class cheese than Wi. The fires, smog all most of the people live in SO Cal. The cows are up north near wine country they are much better than WI cows. Happy cows are in CAli

^First of all lets be honest, "world class cheese" comes from Europe (mostly France.) Second, you never see "California Cheese" as a marketing tool in stores, whither they are specialty stores or grocery stores, even on the west coast. Wisconsin, and to a lesser extent Vermont have more "name brand recognition" in any market then California. Infact, outside of those ads you wouldnt even know California was a big producer of cheese.

Just face it California Cheese is to Wisconsin Cheese as Wisconsin Potatoes are to Idaho Potatoes (2nd largest producer, youve probably had one without even knowing it, and in a position that they will never be able to topple #1 in their market with name brand recognition in the foreseeable future.)

Just because WI produces the most cheese in the country dont mean it has the best. I am not talking about grocery store cheeses. Every year in the top 100 world cheeses there are more and more american cheese. They have rating like wine spectator. There were 14 US cheese listed. Cali had 5, Vermont had 4, Iowa had 2, Wi had 3. Last year there were Point Reys blue is the 2nd highest rated american blue cheese Maytag Bleu is number one.

One more thing Washington state is number two in potatoes. WI is number 3. I put 2 links that

Nothing makes a cow happier than baseball hail and flying (with the help of a Tornado, of course)

That's funny, because the line I quoted about happy cows, is from a commercial about California cheese.

:facepalm:

Read the rest of my sentance, and next time dont use a sentance fragment to skew a person's words:

The commercials are on TV, and I even address that further down in my post.

OK, "Mr. Cheese Master"..

Commercials are on TV, the radio, internet ads and more. Not to mention the slogans then make it to posters that hang in the stores.

Don't tell me how to quote someone. I'm not going to quote the whole damn post when I'm addressing a specific part of it, because it's useless, takes up space and is horrible to look at.

^Thats fine, but if you are going to quote a fragment the proper way to do that in english is add ... Otherwise you should just stick to copying whole sentances.

Don't tell me how to type, quote, or speak.

Wow, I thought I saw it all. But this is the most pathetic Point Buzz arguement I have ever seen. Cheese, really? lol.

Josh was quoting a commercial. If you are going to get that upset over cheese, you have bigger problems to worry about than whether it is better in Cali or Wisconsin.

Besides, I would have to agree with Ben. I think a cow would prefer a tornado over the the smog anyday. ;)

Im not getting worked up about cheese, Im getting worked up about someone using part of what I said to make it look like I said something entirely different.

Basically Im calling into question why someone decided to call me out about "not knowing about an ad" when I specifically reference said ad later in my post. I guess its simply too much to expect people to actually read a whole post before commenting on it.

And thats the last post Im doing on this thread, agrueing this point any further is futile.

Calm down, Bill O'Reilly - You're not being taken out of context. As I said before (if you'd bother to read other people's posts), I trimmed the quote down to point to a specific part of your post that I was referring to.

Strange concept, but it's something of a pet peeve for most people that a whole post gets quoted when only part of being responded to.

And I thought the Internet had run out of surprises.
