How does one rewire one's brain such that the initial "Oh my GOD that milk's gone SO BAD it's all MOLDY!!!" reaction turns into "Oooh, yummy cheese"?

Obviously one can do so, and very easily. But how?

In other news, the wedge of "Roaring Fourties Blue" I picked up at the Whole Foods Market thingy last night is very very tasty, and I wish I had more.

You are probably missing the "GOD I'm so hungry I haven't eaten in 3 days!" part in the middle. At which point you'll try just about anything. Getting yummy cheese is like rolling a natural 20 on the "don't keel over and die from food poisoning" roll.

Or...

Hang out on a farm for a while where you can watch a chicken get its head cut off then eat it for dinner etc.

I so wish I had the "farmer/acceptance of natural forces/salt of the earth" gene from my ancestors in Poland...

Yes, as i like to say, "I don't like sour cream, or as i prefer to call it, 'rancid milkfat'."

I'm sure there will be a LOT of stinky ones. This is a French school, after all. :)

You'd have loved the hors d'oeuvres buffet. There was a hy00g brie en croute (in brioche instead of the usual puff pastry).

I've wanted to try roaring fourties. What was it like? I've been going nuts over Lincolnshire Poacher lately.

It's tasty-- it's got the stuff that's good about blue cheeses, without the occasionally overpowering tang afterwards. It's nice and creamy, although nowhere near as creamy as Saga. It also has a strong nutty flavor-- probably the most obviously nutty flavor I've ever noticed in cheese. I was sad that I finished it so quickly. Yum.

What's Lincolnshire Poacher?

It's a lot like Montgomery's Cheddar, but better. It's aged about a year and a half, for extra agey goodness.
