Edam, Netherlands

Known as a nutty palate pleaser,
Edam cheese is a tourist teaser.
For export, coated in red or black,
But locavores just want it wrapped.
For centuries it was in demand,
For ship-board meals, the globe it spanned.
And made the town on Holland’s polder
Known to all for its Edammer.
[2003]
