Cheese!

[Zephik]

I just received a giant hunk of cheese called "Imperial Brie". I've googled for its uses... but I can't seem to find any. So does anyone know what it can be used for or what its use for? Maybe something that would be good for the big game thats fast approaching?

Thanks for the help!

Oh yea, also, does anyone know if your supposed to eat that white stuff on top? That IS supposed to be there right?? It smells... kind of moldy.. or something.. cheese is basically mold though isn't it? :think:

Brie is lovely on crackers. Yes you eat the white mold, it's safe to consume. Although... where did this cheese come from again?

Cheese isn't a mold, but mold can influence a flavor/smell of a cheese.... but some cheese shouldn't have mold.

This will give you a little insight as to why I am the way I am. My Dad LOVES brie like crazy, he says room temp on crackers is heaven. I tried it, didn't care for it. Then he goes on to tell me it tastes just like sidewalks right after a good rain. My gaze slowly makes it's way to him to see if he was laughing, to my horror he was not. I said, "uhhh...what?" He goes on to explain to his genetic recipient that "when he was a kid, he used to love to lick sidewalks after the rain, they were great! And nothing tastes quite like them except brie". After I stopped crying, my sister entered the room and revealed that she too enjoyed the taste of sidewalks after the rain and agreed that brie did in fact taste similar. I am now in absolute horror, sitting in a room surrounded by mammals who were my genetic similars, who lick sidewalks for the flavor. Let me say that again...they LICK SIDEWALKS FOR THE FLAVOR! Now, this does sound an awful lot like a Dad and sis teaming up to pick on the young brother, but it turns out it was quite true, my mother and other sisters woefully admitted to the traumatic facts. Years later, I would go on to learn that he put mercury in his mouth because he was curious what it tasted like.
So. To those of you who may feel that because they are not tall enough, or are a little overweight, or for any reason feel like they are unattractive...consider this as proof that ANYONE can get laid. I am the tragic proof of this fact. Now, the next time you feel like getting on my ass for something stupid I did, consider the mercury, and cut me some freakin' slack.

You could always make a "Toasted Cheese Sandwich". :D

Oh. My. God...

What the heck is wrong with you jd?? WET SIDEWALK IS DELICIOUS! haha jk jk. I have to admit though, that is _the_ craziest thing I have heard in a long time. I mean ya, my best friend licked light sockets when he was a baby, but licking a sidewalk? That just takes the cake...

I asked around and people said the white stuff is in fact mold, but it is edible and it is supposed to be there. Very weird. Better than maggots I guess! :p

What kind of crackers do y'all recommend? I'm not exactly sure what goes good with "sidewalk after the rain". :think:

Here I thought I was weird for loving the flavor of snow... :rolleyes:

[crenn]

Sesame and poppy seed crackers, something which has a nice savory taste. If not, something like a lightly salted cracker would work. (As in very lightly salted.... you don't want to overpower the cheese)

Chalk...

This is a great thread by the way.

my best friend licked light sockets when he was a baby
well that's not a hell of a lot better
I asked around and people said the white stuff is in fact mold,
most mold is edible, just not tasty, heck even some of it is medicinal (it's where penicillin comes from)
Here I thought I was weird for loving the flavor of snow... :rolleyes:
only if it's the yellow snow.

Reading that makes me want to lick the sidewalk. (it's been rainin' here)

God damnit, Jon.

...and here I thought liking sauerkraut was weird. lol

[danthegeek]

Yeah, now the next time it rains I have to go find a sidewalk.

I ain't licking any sidewalks after the rain. Rain runs off into parking lots, or streets, and form puddles, and thanks to Paris Hilton I now know puddles have AIDS.
