I think I died and woke up in L.A.,
I don't know how I wound up in this place...

As far as good cheese goes, I urge all of you to try Roquefort:

It's made from unpasteurised Ewe's milk and is matured in specific French caves, where it's colonised by a unique strain of Penicillium Roqueforti which naturally grows there. It has a very strong, sharp flavour with a heavy umami (glutamate) taste. The blue veins are tangy and delicious and complement the creaminess of the cheese perfectly. The outside can't really be called rind at all, is edible and has a slight salty crunch. It's my favourite cheese.

:hfive:

What are some good accompaniments for roquefort (crackers/fruit/antipastos and such)?
Also, are there any blues that are similar to roquefort in taste?

The only other blues I've tried were:
raw milk Stilton - a little old-sock-ish for me
Gorgonzola - alright, but nothing special
Danish blue - yech, like eating coins
Some Quebec :canada: blue cheese I can't remember the name of that tasted vaguely similar to roquefort

Had a Canadian camembert today, and finally enjoyed eating the cheese.
The mild old sock part of the taste used to put me off but I've gotten used to it now.

Went really nice with the rosemary cream crackers I picked up. It covers over any ammonia taint which is present.
Had slices of asian pear for a palette cleanser.
