Kind of european style, I guess ... Sun Dec 22 18:55:23 -0800 2002 0 nubi 1 1584569 In a word, any of the cheeses that we call "Swiss." They are good to eat with pastries, etc. I have a little blood sugar problem, and in Europe they filled the protein requirement that the lack of bacon, ham, etc. left.

Heck, the Marin French Cheese company even makes a Breakfast Cheese that comes in a variety of flavors!

It's yummy, soft, goes with anything, and won't give you any early morning challenges. Mon Dec 23 16:50:05 -0800 2002 1584567 0 Sharuf
