MENG CHEESE SPREAD
It's probably been 25 years since my father discovered this yummy appetizer in the IGA store in Mexico, MO. One of the butchers made the cheese logs to sell in the meat department, and I think his name was Meng (could be first name or last name). After making the logs for the last 2-3 years, I find it easier to serve as a cheese spread stored in an air-tight deli container. Since I'm revising the recipe this year, I've included variations (all tried and tested) for Mild, Medium & HOT! From the kitchen of Howard Thornburg, Moberly MO
