My lady is a cheesemonger and gets 50% off shop prices, it's pretty badass. Plus if anything passes the sell by date in the walk in there is a good chance it will be in my fridge the next day
As we have seen recently, it appears that people like talking about their favorite cheese. There is a beer thread so why not a cheese one ?
I declare myself as I'm THE specialist about cheese like Avante declared himself being THE specialist on weight lifting, track field records, music and soldier life during a war.
Now as we are all living in a free world and board, you all are allowed to derail this thread at anytime to speak about whatever you want, I promise I won't be mad. Xmas is welcome here to talk about Kyle Anderson and the Spurs, chump can talk about D league, Blake can talk about divorce, Mouse can talk about alternative design, Avante can go ahead with the top 50 musician born and raised in Texas, Mystix can threaten people to break their nose or take legal actions against owners of this site....

Here is my top 10 of the French type of cheese:
1. L'epoisses (see the Kyle Anderson thread)
2. Le Beaufort (great cheese for savoyarde fondue in particular)
3. Le Camembert (of course)
4. Le Roquefort (my favorite is the brand papillon.... delicious)
5. Le Rocamadour (goat cheese absolutely divine... best is hot served with a nice salad with nuts)
6. Le Saint Nectaire (strong and smelly cheese)
7. Le Maroilles (speciality of North of France)
8. Le Comte (unavoidable)
9. La Fourme d'Ambert (just the name is awesome)
10. Le Pont l'Eveque (another French classic)

you just mentioned the worst one
well you also the vache qui rit
I do not get the love for expensive stinky cheese at all. Now queso fresco I could eat all ing day.
ah yeah, that's the cheese I pair with my yellow tail moscato. Only for super fancy nights though

To appreciate these stinky cheese you need to be born and raised in Europe or being open minded and very curious about food and gastronomy.
nothing wrong btw with queso fresco, I do like some queso fresco. After a while in US I even get used to Chedar... Wisonsin has some awesome cheese for instance

funny part is that vache qui rit is the French cheese most exported in the world and in the US in particular. Late nineties or something it was trendy to eat vache qui rit in US, a pasteurized cheese with low carb, quite healthy but taste is meh
comte is delicious
MERICAN cheese son. Can't you taste the freedom??
I was surprised by Wisconsin cheese tbh
I remember tasting a Fontina from there absolutely delicious.... and yeah you can feel freedom
Saying that French cheese >> Murica tbh fwiw

I honestly feel that Kyle Anderson will be a great addition to the Spurs. Give him some time to learn the system, and he should be able to help fill the void when Manu retires.
He is becoming severly underated... he did not play a game and yet that people are starting to say he is the new Manu...
GOAT goat cheese?
Depends if you go the "melted one" or what we call in France "Pate Dure"
For the melted one I'd go with the rocamadour:
or the pate dure Ossau Iraty
best brand being Agour imo
Awesome thread--I don't know very much about wine and I would like to see what the board sommeliers recommend and the cheesehead as well...
Stinky cheese, while having a rank smell, has super excellent flavor and really tastes great with a good wine some good summer sausage and on a trisket cracker.

Makes a great subs ute dinner when you aren't very hungry.
My fave is limburger, stinks like but is oh so delicious.
A great red wine from France only sold during the Holiday Season is "beaujolais nouveau" of almost any brand name, but it has to be drunk within about three months of buying otherwise it is only good for salad dressing as it will turn to vinegar.

Yes these are great opinions to consider----I was up waaay late researching some of the stuff you guys talked about in that fantastic Anderson thread. What about beer/cheese combos? And chocolate/wine pairings? I can't drink wine anymore but sometimes I get a mad craving for some strong chocolate, like I've had at wine pairing parties, and wish I had paid more attention to it. I would risk a sip or 2 of wine for a nibble of chocolate
My favorite wine types;
Reds--- Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec, ocationaly a Pinot Noir.
Whites ---Chardonnay, Moscato and Pinot grigio.
