If you haven’t been down to Break­er Bay lately to get your­self a lump of whale oil (I’m not sure what’s more dis­gust­ing – whale vomit or the bile that the same-named blog splurts out) and you’re not the type to buy such a thing on trademe, the Wel­ling­tonista would like to make the fol­low­ing cheesy sug­ges­tions:

  • “I nom­in­ate that Mex­ic­an place down Left Bank that did that diabol­lically cheesy thing (quesa­d­illa?) I had that one time. It was like a cheesy soup. I believe I stared death in the the face. The deli­cious, plasticy face.”
  • “The ooozy oozy brie as part of the fant­ast­ic anti­pasto at Gusto in Petone
  • Any cheese from the Dutch Shop in Petone (but I have a par­tic­u­lar fond­ness for the cumin gouda)
  • Fro­mager­ie at Kirk’s
  • Truffle (small but inter­est­ing selec­tion)
  • Sagana­ki (ouzo-flamed Greek cheese) at Duke Carvell’s
  • Quat­tro Form­ag­gio pizza at Scopa (and no doubt else­where)
  • Chow­’s blue cheese & pea­nut wontons
  • “Oh, and Arbit­rageur has some fant­ast­ic cheeses to chose from for their anti­pasto selec­tion.”

So there’s a few start­ing points for you. Just don’t get too cheesed off if you have crazy dreams after­wards…
