By now your refrigerators are all artfully appointed. I hope you left room for some comestibles. Let’s talk about cheese. Specifically stinky cheese. I’m fond of a variety of blues, Camembert, and Taleggio. But though they are washed rind cheeses I don’t consider them very smelly.
Love ’em or hate ’em, DeadSplinters?
I like cheese, stinky and otherwise, and my fridge is always full of it because if my son could eat nothing but cheese, he would!
Smart lad, it’s a tasty and versatile food.
not the biggest fan of the blue cheeses…i think i still have to learn to like them
now brie and camenbert…oh totally worth the smelly fridge
i also like serving people pesto cheese just to see their faces when green cheese happens
it being delicious is a perk too (and its remarkably pleasing aesthetically when served with bright orange sambal cheese)
I’m not wild about pesto but that’s a pretty cheese. I haven’t found a bleu I don’t like. But sadly they give me terrible heartburn. I still eat them though, lol.
I am not a stinky cheese guy, love creamy or smokey cheeses. We had an amazing sheep brie in Iceland at a wine bar that was heavenly. It went perfect with the Chemin des Papes.
I like most cheeses. Iceland is in on my must visit list so maybe I’ll get to try it.
I’ve had Limburger and it’s pretty good in small amounts, but it definitely deserves its reputation.
My daughter would agree. She uses Limburger to collect beetles, lol.
Are they scavenger beetles attracted to sulfur compounds or something like that?
I don’t remember. She surveys lots of different insects.
I’m good with all cheeses. I don’t have a lot of experiences with some of the more stinky ones, but I’ve not found one that I really disliked. I would say that I’m partial to Dutch cheeses, but that’s probably because we visited a cheesemaker outside Amsterdam once and just had a great time learning — and sampling.
I don’t know anyone who dislikes cheese. There are so many types that there has to be something for everyone.
I like the cheese that smells like feet.
How about fruit that smells like feet? Have you tried durian? I’m too much of a coward.
Love me a good blue cheese option.
Also I tend to like sheep milk cheeses and they tend to have a funky taste undertone absent in cow milk cheese. Pecorino, manchego, pretty much any of the Basque region cheeses, love ’em all.
You have excellent taste in cheeses.
mmmm cheese
I’m nibbling some now. 🙂
