I’m Italian and love casu marzu! Some people let the maggots go away before they eat the cheese (they can also jump 10-15 cm), but I prefer to spread cheese and maggots on pane carasau (bread from sardinia)… really delicious. It was illegal to sell casu marzu but now local authorities approved it, because in Sardinia we eat it from a thousand years or more, and it has been declared a traditional food. So come to Sardinia and, if you dare, eat casu marzu: you won’t regret!

I think it bothers the brother more than the SIL…last year I decided to just call it Cranberry and Brie.

my brother used to date this wonderful lady named Phoebe. She used to bring a cranberry and brie appetizer to our house every Christmas. Phoebe lasted three Christmases and to our great disappointment, Harrison broke up with Phoebe. That was 11 years ago. My brother is married to another wonderful lady and has two kids. I don’t remember what Phoebe looks like, but we still have what we call Phoebe’s Cranberry and Brie every Christmas.

Kimberly – I love tomatoes and basil, too!! With just a little lemon juice and olive oil??

Linda – Did you have the brie at Meaux? Was it all it’s cracked up to be?

Leah – Cedarflame was asking the same questions about the maggots and spiders. We’ve been trying to figure it out. You should branch out in your cheese lovering. Go to a cheese tasting some time. It’ll give you a nice variety to try and see what you like.

Amy – I think feta in general isn’t curdled with rennet. They don’t normally use rennet in non-cow cheeses, so sheep is good! Goat has a bit more bite to it, which I usually prefer.

My two year old and I are intolerant to cow’s milk, so goat it is. We just discovered that Costco carries a reeeeally yummy SHEEP feta. It’s definitely tastes like feta, but is mild and creamy. Not sure if it’s vegetarian though.

mmmmm, cheese. i don’t get too fancy with my cheese eating, as a child i couldn’t eat any cheese. i’m glad that changed. i stay pretty “vanilla” with it, sticking closely to mozzarella, american, swiss, and the occasional brie or gouda.

how do people figure out that maggots and spiders make a better cheese? that’s what i need to know.

i LOVE the idea that google uses goats to trim their lawns. i’ve been saying for years that someone should rent goats out for this very purpose.

I wasn’t much of a cheese lover until I moved to France. I fell in love with Roquefort, even visited the village where it is made. I like Compte as well, a harder cheese with a nutty taste. I once went to Meaux, the home of that famous Brie. It’s a really interesting city, not too far from Paris.

I love cheese. Tonight for dinner I had a tomato, basil and fresh mozzarella salad. HEAVEN!

As I kid, I adored those Kraft singles, but I wouldn’t touch ‘em with a 10-ft pole now.
