Assault (CAN) 1 Posted March 18, 2003 LOL, at least the French have a sense of humour about it all. In fact, I'd like to have one. Are they the small, hard kind, like you buy in bags? Or are they the big soft ones like you buy at a street vendor? For 7 Euros, i'd like something big and tasty. Â Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FSPilot 0 Posted March 18, 2003 So wait a minute, when the US does it it's ridiculous, stupid, tasteless, pretentious, kindergarten behaviour, pointless, harmless, insular, bordering on racist, and dumb. (and that's just the first page). But when the French do it it's funny and worthy of a 7€ donation, even though it's basically saying that they wish our president would choke? Interesting.

If there's anything the swedes never was good at it's cheese  Brie and especially Camembert is not supposed to smell very much. If it does smell you'll notice a flavour of amoniac - and the cheese is not fresh anymore (some people prefer it that way) . The Camembert is supposed to be soft at the edges (when you slice a piece of it) and harder in the middle. If it isn't it's stored wrongly or simply too old. Edit: I had a heavenly experience with a spanish goat-cheese once. It was fantastic - but I have to admit - it smelled rather like a never washed armpit. After I had enjoyed it for a while I just had to throw the rest of it out the window in the train compartment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
