Fudge_Brownie Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you have never had smoked gouda... you need to. Its fucking awesome. Is it weird if I find it comforting to be completely under a jack-stand suspended car. I seriously could fall asleep under there just staring up at everything. I'm fucked up aren't I? If I die under a car, you'll know its because I fell asleep admiring it's awesomeness (and grime). But besides that, working on a car with a tight deadline and being your only mode of reliable all-weather transportation sucks the fun right out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emiel Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Did several passenger laps in the Marcos of a friend of mine last weekend at the Zandvoort racetrack. V8 :tup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you have never had smoked gouda... you need to. Its fucking awesome. Smoked Gouda is a nice cheese to start with. There are a ton other interesting opportunities if you get beyond the pasteurized curd that most Americans call cheese. Had a fascinating Morbier last week. A true delicacy is Rocroi (bought it from a small farm in the Ardennes once) - looks like hard yellow soap with an oozing interior. Smells awful but tastes divine. The Gratte-Paille is fantastic as a dessert cheese. If you like chèvre then Crottin de Chauvignol is excellent. If you want mild then Saint Andre is a good start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn-E Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 It's one of the things I miss most about France, Matt. The cheese, the bread, the food. Raclette or a good choucroute garnie. I spent enough time in Alsace to find some real specialties. The sign of a good meal always includes an exceptional cheese plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent enough time in Alsace to find some real specialties. The sign of a good meal always includes an exceptional cheese plate. For sure. I am tired of lame food in the US..unless you seek it out and pay a fortune for it. Everything is about mass consumption and ease of preparation. Large portions of Processed crap.. I will admit I am too busy and sometimes too lazy to do it myself though..unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
