vintageadsWanna know why I could never be a vegan? This.
Of these, I have never had port du Salut or limburger (which earns this post the "odors" tag). My ethnically German grandfather loved the stuff, but I wouldn't go near it when I was a kid.
ETA: This is American Cheese Month!

Date: 2011-10-15 10:58 pm (UTC)i take a small whell of brie, cut it in half the long way (through the circle) then rub it with some crushed garlic, then sprinkle some rosemary, thyme and a touch of orange peel....put the top half back on, wrap it in foil and heat at 250 for about 20 minutes...then slice it up like pizza slices and serve on crusty bread or with pears (comice pears if you can find them).....

Date: 2011-10-15 09:05 pm (UTC)Lately, however, I have seen American cheese ads that are similar to the French ads. I think the foodie culture has had a lot to do with changing American views of cheese. This Sargento ad is a good example:

Date: 2011-10-15 09:48 pm (UTC)I cheesemongered from 1995 to 2000, and I know there are plenty of things that have come on the scene since I took my whites off for the last time. I miss having it all available to me, although I don't mind not smelling like cheese all the time!
If you love cheese, you might be interested in the facebook page of the American Cheese Society (http://www.facebook.com/AmericanCheeseSociety) - they're the organization dedicated to advancing the cause of the sort of farmstead and artisan cheeses that are the most interesting being made in the States today.
And most cheesemongers love to share their knowledge with interested people - and cut pieces for you to taste. So don't be afraid to loiter about the place reading signs and asking questions - except maybe in the week before Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's Eve, when cranky cheesesellers have been known to launch a kilo Brie Frisbee-style at the 57th person in a row who approaches the counter and says "I need three cheeses for a party." (What can I say, some of us love food in general more than we love people in general. ;D)
