Six Languages

I used to eat more VQR cheese when I lived in Morocco. So, until a couple of days ago, I had not realised that there is a special edition of the VQR boxes in Spain, featuring boxes in six languages.

The funny thing is how they have written the name of the brand:
-English: The Hahaha Cow
-Chinese: 哈哈牛
-Spanish: La Vaca que Jajaja
-Arabic:  البقرة ههههه
-Hindi:  हाहाहा करती (Not sure how to write this... Can someone help?)
-French: La Vache qui Hahaha

This seems to have been made for this postal project!

Glittery VQR

Sent by Igakusei (Spain)

Vacha'lauréat

These letters appear sometimes in the back of the cheese labels. When that happen, you find a card with questions inside the box. So, this is the game: you must answer the question with a word beginning with the letter you have got in your portion. And I guess that if you fail, you feel like eating another triangle...

The name of the game in French is Vacha'lauréat, a word game with the words vache ('cow') and baccalauréat that means: 'categories (game)' and also 'baccalaureate'. But in Belgium they use another name for the game: La course aux meuhs.

I have found/received so far cards in different languages and shapes. It is amazing to check the differences!

In Dutch: Koeien ('cows') Letters

In French (Belgium): La course aux Meuhs

In French (France): Vacha'lauréat

In German (Switzerland): Achtung, Fertig, Kuh!

In Portuguese: Viraletras

In Spanish: Vacaletras

Spain & Portugal

Sent by Ana (Portugal)

This one was sent from Portugal, but in fact it is a Spanish box. In Portugal it is sold as A vaca que ri. I am happy, because it is the first one I have received written in Spanish. The back is so beautiful!

I am really sorry. I am afraid I am missing something important but... I do not know which Ana from Portugal sent me this VQR. I cannot say thank you  to her! Please, Ana, give me your address!

In the postman I trust

Sent to حامد (the Netherlands)

This is the very first postcard of this kind I sent, from Spain. It is (or was) the most famous brand of triangles of cheese in Spain some years ago. In fact, I do not remember I ate VQR triangles when I was a child, but these. And in Spain still the word used for 'triangles of cheese' is the name of the brand: caseríos. Even though the standard name is quesitos ('little pieces of cheese').

The name El caserío refers to the house you can see in the picture. This house exists in Menorca island and it was the first factory. I am not sure if it is still workings nowadays.

The slogan of the brand is also still extremely well-known (I mean, among the people from... certain age). De El Caserío me fío means 'I trust in El Caserío'. I sent this postcard to حامد with this title: In the postman I trust (of course it arrived).
