okey
my colleagues bought them from neals yard for me. so we have... a tangy lancashire bomb, a colston bassett stilton, a ragstone goats cheese, some berkswell, some stinking bishop, one that looks like it says coolea (it's like a really hard strong cheddar) and a runny brie.

ps: connoisseur

I generally approve
Stinking Bishop is over-rated. I love goats cheese but it makes me fart chronically so I must be careful where I eat it.

they are all delicious, but the stilton is in a slightly different league
i like stinking bishop a lot, but it has to be said, its bark is worse than its bite, it smells much stronger than it tastes. i am fussy about the rinds though. i now have a plate piled high with rejected bits.

erm, are you sure goats cheese does that, never heard that before...

Rind adds texture
Don't reject it.

Different things give different people flatulence. I have a friend who farts prolifically after eating cucumber.

Mine is goats cheese and my scratty arse has a NATO warning stapled to it as proof.

Everyone farts
Except the Queen, obviously - she's had a fartectomy.

What do you expect at 23.32 on a Friday?

no, i can't, it is making my mouth screw up thinking about eating it!
also i read somewhere that the white rind on brie/goats cheese is carcinogenic?

brie is literally the only cheese i don't like, unless it is melted on something like garlic mushrooms. shame i have a massive chunk of it here, will have to bin it! or maybe i should melt it. and pour it over some garlic mushrooms. hmmmm.

so why would you eat something that had that effect????
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 12 Nov 2010, 23:32, Reply)

Because I like it
Now I'm on my own again I can wander around the house after goats cheese emitting fumes with abandon.

The cats and dogs don't seem to mind.

*calls RSPCA*

Cats have about 150x our sense of smell
Dogs about 200x.

They've got other odours to pre-occupy them. Like my wellies.

so you are blasting them with 200 times the filthy stench
that you have to endure?

I've been to the head quarters of the RSPCA
It's tiny.

You couldn't swing a cat.....

You could post the brie to me
But I expect it'd be in a shabby state when it arrived.

yes i don't think
the royal mail and brie mix very well!

Mine is coffee
as my coworkers will attest during my brief flirtation with it at work, forever after referred to as "That time in the poorly ventilated meeting room where everything got decided in 6 minutes"
