| Shadows! Where are earth do you get gorgonzola cheese? Can that be bought in a regular grocery store or do I need to go to a health food store or something like that? This recipe sounds wonderful! Thanks! |

A lot of the larger grocers, Sam's Club, cheese club from the link I provided in Scottish cheese discussion , or just about any grocer in my area. If you don't find it at store ask for it, most will order for you if they don't have it. |
