If I had to make a list of the top five most delicious things in the world, alongside salmon and Rice Krispees Treats would be cheese. And I can’t really get specific here, because there are SO many fantastic varieties. I love a little crumbled feta, but I don’t want to short sight goat or havarti. And I’d give a kidney to hot jack. Well, I’d like to think I would. You never really know until you’re IN the situation.
I’m like 99% sure I’d horde all of my internal organs if any type of blue cheese was in need, sadly. I’ve never really been a fan of Gorgonzola et al. So, it’s kind of weird that I’m taking an issue with this, but I find it offensive. Right before he left office, Bush called for a 300% tariff of Roquefort cheese, which basically closes off the U.S. market. How catty is that?!
I may not be a fan of blue, but I would never dream of depriving some people of their delicacy that “comes with an odor of wet sheep and veins of blue mold.” To some people, that’s satisfaction one can only match with, like, complimentary Free People clothes for LIFE. I really feel for those Roquefort lovers out there, mildly vom-inducing as I may find their pleasure.
