Drunken Goat (1996)

[vida morkunas]

Just in case Barry is NOT joking :)

La Vache Qui Rit makes cheese (in cubes, unfortunately.  France's answer to
Kraft Singles).  Those darn little cubes often found their way in my
lunchbox when I was growing up in Montreal. I usually traded them for
chocolate bars with the other little girls in school.

Not sure if La Vache make little goudas... I think it was another brand.

cheers -

Vida.

   I was in the cheese section of ELI'S on the upper east side and saw a
"Drunken Goat."  What's next?  A little laughing cow in a red net bag?
   There are some Google hits which you can find for yourself.  Here are
some Dow Jones database articles (which start in 1997), followed by a 1996
trademark record:

You could walk into a typical Pittsburgh restaurant and place that order
without looking at the menu. Even desserts come from the same vendors.

Not so at Christian's at Turtle Creek. Check it out: Tournedos au poivre
