That means you didn't age it long enough. On the other hand, too long, and it smells too much like ammonia.

I like all the stinky cheeses. One of my favorites is Bierkäse, followed by Butterkäse. It's pretty hard to find in Chicago so we usually have to get it in Wisconsin. Monroe has lots of cheeses we don't usually see. They've got things like seasoned cheese curds that are to die for. We end up eating too many on the way home though. <g> The plain ones are great tossed on a pizza. Another stinky cheese I love is Greek Kefalograviera. It works wonderful with this recipe and is a fabulous appetizer. Fig And Walnut Tapenade 1 cup chopped dried black mission figs 1/3 cup water 1/3 cup chopped/pitted kalamata olives 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon capers, drained and coarsely chopped 1 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves salt fresh ground black pepper 1/2 cup toasted and chopped walnuts In a medium saucepan combine chopped figs and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until liquid has evaporated and figs are soft. About 7 minutes. Transfer figs to a mixing bowl. Add olives, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, capers, and chopped thyme. Mix and add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for 24 hours. (up to 3 days) Bring to room temperature and mix in chopped walnuts. Serve with Kefalograviera cheese slices on thin slices of French Baguette bread. Other Greek cheeses will work as will Manchego or Blues. Do NOT serve cold. Lou |

I used to eat them on warmed sourdough wedges until that started making me ill. Now I just eat them with a spoon. ;-d -- Peace! Om "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.

If you want a really stinky cheese, try Olmützer Quargel. Cheers, Michael Kuettner |

Bird Eating Spider?

Happy Halloween! > >http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=655741 Reminds me of something that happened in Viet-Nam in 1969. We were taking a break near a cane hedgerow when somebody noticed a monster web ( about 12 feet across) between two segments of cane. The spider in the center was more than a foot across the outspread legs. We cut off a piece of cane and teased the spider into dropping from the web. Using the piece of cane to catch the strand the spider was dropping from we set it down in front of one of the guy's pet monkey. ( Thought it would scare the monkey.) It surprised the hell out of us by running up to the spider, grabbing it by bunching up the legs near the body and eating it. SERIOUS Yukk. Never did find out what kind of spider it was. But it looked sort of like this one. |
