How Can Stinky French Cheeses Be So Delicious?

[Moonbear]

I find that brie is the best cheese

I like brie, but to me, that's a mild cheese (unless they just don't send us the "good stuff" here in the US). It certainly goes well with everything, and the double cream brie has a wonderfully buttery taste to me.

I once made a dish from the wonderful baby swiss, only to have my company ask what smelled so bad? I said bad? they said yes, like dirty laundry...I said it was there dinner Talk about a odd strech of silence.

But they did try it, and even went back for seconds. Although I was never sure if they really liked it, or were just makeing up for the dirty laundry statement.

Sorry.

I can appreciate the "dirty laundry" comment about Swiss cheese. I'm not a fan of Swiss cheese. Though, I actually never noticed anything funny about the smell...to me it smells totally innocuous. It's when I bite into it that I realize someone used Swiss on a dish. It always has a sour taste to me that I just don't like. I prefer to swap provolone for the Swiss cheese in dishes that usually have Swiss.

I like mozzarella and feta cheese. I'm guessing swiss cheese would be good.

And of course, I will taste all smelly feet from now on...
