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

I love it into omelette or simply with french bread :)
I never tasted another cheese similar to this one, it's very specific.

This thread inspired me to finally bite the bullet and pick up some Roquefort. I was impressed at the complexity, but it is very, very strong. I picked up some 1000 day aged gouda from Trader Joe's as well as some italian truffle cheese today. I'll post a trip report later!

If you come to france you will find stronger cheese than roquefort ;)
But yeah it's a nice one for that :)

If you want something stronger than "usual" brie, you can taste the "Brie de Meaux" which is the best brie.

It's between brie and camembert taste.

You should also see if you can get your hands on Brie Fermier (Brie of the farm). It's styled after Brie de Meaux, but since you can't get the real stuff in America (they send over the pasteurized version, Fromage de Meaux, which doesn't taste nearly as good), I prefer Fermier. It's amazing: deep, rich, barnyardy, vegetal...it smells like butter and roasted cauliflower.

Oh ... I always forget that you only have access to pasteurized cheese in the USA... :(

Even imported cheese have to be either pasteurized or aged at least 60 days. That's why there is such a thing as a black market in cheese.

I see, so you can only have access to chesse like Roquefort, Mimolette, etc, right ? (not "young" cheese like Brie, Tome, etc.)

We don't have access to all the acclaimed young delicate brie and stuff. Unless you know somebody.

That's why I see a lot of US people inside Cheese bars in Paris :)
