Vegetarian Parmesan Cheese, baby.

I don't know if anyone else in the world has this problem, but for a long time I was on a hunt for a half-decent Parmesan that didn't contain animal stomach materials (sorry, I try not to get militant about my veggie ways but this one grosses me out a tad.) It was all very sad because I love Parm and the recipes that it takes part in, but I have this strange-old-lady-like discomfort with buying edible products online so I was having trouble. The cheese elves at Whole Foods were very nice about attempting to help in my quest, but did not deliver the goods when push came to shove. Then, Trader Joe's came along and provided their store-brand Parmesan containing microbial rennet and I saw the fricken light. It made me truly happy for about four minutes and I hope the same can happen to another vegetarian Parmesan-lover out there.

The End.
