the laughing cow - la vache qui rit

the first cheese i ever tried was the creamy swiss that comes in wedges. i still love this cheese because it is soft, creamy and easy to eat. my 10 months old loves this cheese. the packaging is round and the wedges are easy to open. i really enjoy opening one and the cheese doesn't get all over your fingers. when i was a kid, i collected the labels of the laughing cow.

my brother and i also love the cheese cubes. those are fun to eat. we built cheese city out of the cubes before we eat them. my dad used to tell me that this cheese is worth a lot of money in some countries if you eat it with a banana. yes, from then on we have to eat the cheese cubes with banana. now thinking about it the tastes compliment each other. the sour cheese cubes makes the banana taste sweeter.

in france, it became popular with the kids in the 1970s because of the number one cartoon show called goldorak. the promotion with the laughing cow cheese and ever popular cartoon show makes the cheese even more a hit among kids. a box of cheese comes with a sticker of characters and of robots from the cartoon.
