The search for Brick cheese

There's no Brick cheese in Tucson. At least I can't find any. Back in the 'burgh you could buy Brick cheese freshly sliced from the deli or not-so-freshly sliced and packaged from Kraft. But there's none to be found here.

I've checked several Safeways, and Albertsons. I even asked a few people who work at the deli.

"Do you have Brick cheese?"
"A brick of cheese?"
"No, Brick cheese."

No one's heard of it.

I've asked around the office. No one there has heard of it either. How odd.

You can buy Havarti cheese which is a close substitute albeit a bit smokier, but you could get that back in the 'burgh I'll check for Brick cheese the next time I'm in Phoenix. Maybe it's just not a "Tucson thing."
