Post subject:  Getting Cheesy
So, I've decided to expand my palate by buying more premium cheeses.

Today I picked up some Limburger, Blue Brie, and Gorgonzola.

Limburger -- Smells like a sweaty, unwashed navel (I understand the cultures used in its manufacturing are similar to those that create body odor); tastes only slightly better. This one will be an acquired taste methinks.

Blue Brie -- Mild, Creamy, moldy heaven . . . mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Gorgonzola -- Salty, strong, and delicious!

So yeah, that Limburger is coming in dead last so far, but maybe it will grow on me (perhaps literally :P )

Any recommends for my next purchases?

A quality bottle of red wine.

I thought about wine and crackers, actually.

And I'm warming up a little to that Limburger, although I've had to quarantine it in a small sandwich bag as well as in a large Ziploc bag.

Mmmmm decomposed, jumping worm-ridden cheese . . .

I was thinking more along the lines of a nice Roquefort, or block o' Feta.

Consider a baguette instead of the crackers. Spread the limburger thinly on a slice or hunk of baguette, add Rynar's quality bottle of wine, and get back to us.

For the limburger, consider a good burgundy if you can find one. Cabernet works well too.

I'd suggest trying the double Gloucester and blue stilton, slice an apple or pear to go along with it. Consider trying a good sherry or dessert port.

One of the classic desserts I rarely see done anymore is apple pie with a sharp cheddar on the side. Yummmm.

Thank you for Katherine.

Rodahn...you're back on my hit list....why must all your posts be so damn tasty and tempting!! Can't you talk about vaginas or something I'm not craving???
Soft cheeses and wine....can't have them for another 4 months at least.....*sigh*
I'd have to agree with Micheal's suggestions.

Vagina Talk airs every few moments in my head as is. Food is the next best thing to sex.

Hey, I didn't know cheese could be made into a cake:

Well, you know I'd do a whole bunch for you LK, but flying a Cheesecake out to you is a little beyond my means right now.

I think you would like this one,

Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake


or perhaps this one

Dulce de Leche Cheesecake


and you can get them and many other varieties (they even have a Key Lime one I really like) at the Cheesecake Factory in Birmingham (closest one to you).

Trust me, they are like nothing the King serves at his chain of burger joints.

/food torture off

Thanks for the advice -- I'll have to try to hunt down a good online cheese store, if I can. My local Kroger selection is decent for a supermarket, but I'm still only seeing a fraction of what's really out there.

It took me a minute to realize what you were saying here, but no worries. Trying to accommodate everyone's tastes.

/food torture back on :twisted:

How close are you to a big city Rodahn?

These folks have a good (though pricey) cheese wall, at least out here.

Not one in West Virginia, sadly :(
Closest appears to be in Cinci or Columbus.

Same with Trader Joe's.

Damn this state sometimes . . .

Rodahn,

I recommend Dubliner and the grocery store near my house has a few other things that are awesome.

Cranberry Chipotle Cheddar
Blueberry Smoked Cheddar
Raspberry Gouda

For midnight snack last night I had a bit of chicken salad, creamy havarti, sourdough bread and extra sharp cheddar.

Cambazola (blue brie, actually a camembert/gorgonzola portmanteau) is lovely, but i really like more aggressive blues. Cashel Blue is fantastic, and soft enough to spread, so it makes a great bread-and-cheese dinner.

If the limburger is too much try Tallegio, it smells evil but has a smooth mild taste with some tanginess.

Parrano is my favourite slice-and-eat cheese, it's sort of an Italian gouda.

And my favourite grating or shaving cheese for pasta is Vella Dry Jack.

All are available at my local grocery store, which is a Kroger affiliate.
