From nasty grubs to tasty grub . . . Nothing like a smooth transition. . .
Cheese is very expensive here in Costa Rica, for the most part. There's one major dairy that pretty much has a monopoly on things, so cheddar, mozzarella, etc., are pretty expensive, and the imported cheeses are even more so. . . The exception is queso palmita, which is made in the highlands here in Costa Rica. Driving from San Jose up to Tree Houses, you will pass dozens of signs offering the cheese for sale. . .It's pretty salty (right up my alley) and like string cheese. It comes in a big, white blob, and you can just peel it off and eat it. It also melts pretty well, which is a nice bonus for pizza, tacos and cheese burgers.
As for what's in it? Not really sure, but it does taste good, and that's what matters.

I think only a certain kind of person even knows what string cheese is.
by certain kind of person you're referring to gourmet, then i agree with you! ha! not as tasty as cheez whiz in a can (especially the bacon 'n' cheddar). . .
