Blue Cheese Aficionados

[Jack Roberts]

I love good blue cheese. Have been trying different ones seriously for over 30 years.

Right now, until next Wednesday, Raley's has the best English Stilton I have ever tasted on sale. Not much of a sale as it is still $20 a pound but worth twice that. You are only going to eat a few ounces so not a huge investment.

"Thomas Hoe Stevenson Blue Stilton" is something you owe it to yourself to try. Be sure to serve it at room temperature. The flavor does not come out at less than 68 degrees.

I like blue cheese, but do not know much about it. What is the best thing to eat it with? I used to buy some in a waxed wedge. I would just eat it plan, but I could not stop. I would eat the whole thing.

Do you eat it on any type of cracker?

 

[SalemDawger]

Oh ya, where do you buy it?

This particular cheese is now at Raley's and I always eat it plain. It is just too good to dilute the taste.

We don't have Raley over her, but I have taken note of the brand and will see if I can find it over here. I will let you know!

I'm a Bleu Cheese lover as well...

Take a 3# Sirloin steak, cut 2" thick. Marinate it in Italian Dressing for 24 hours before cooking on a charcoal grill...

Place in on hot coals, about 5" above the coals for 7 minutes for Medium, turn only once and cover with about 3oz of crumbled Bleu Cheese and cover with a big roasting lid to melt the cheese to the surface of the steak for another 7 minutes.

Scrape off the excess cheese before serving, for use on a baked potatoe, and Enjoy.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Don't forget a burger with blue cheese and bacon. Even better if you cook the cheese inside the beef. I have to go to lunch now.

So what's the difference between bleu cheese and roquefort cheese? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

 

[OldTurtle]

None really...I think Roquefort was a province in France..

My wife's uncle is a cheese lover of sorts. Last trip to visit them he gave me a few samples of "fine cheese". I told him they all tasted like cheddar to me. He just gave me a confused look, then offered a different flavor. I finally asked if he had some of that cheese-in-a-can you can get a Target? He grabbed what was left and grumbled about never giving his "premium expensive cheese" to a hick that ate it from a aerosal can.
