shopping list: where to find the stinky stuff!

go to a delicatessan or supermarket with a good cheese selection

ask for one of each type of cheese:

  • blue: gorgonzola, roaring 40's blue, blue castello
  • soft: triplecream brie, pont l'eveque, camembert
  • sharp: chevre, mersey valley cheddar, basque sheep's milk
  • sensational: sotto cenere (studded with truffle and rolled in cinnamon)

the sidekicks:

  • raisins, currants or sultanas (for the soft cheese)
  • quince paste and honey (for the blue cheese)
  • campari or sherry ( to soak the raisins etc...)
  • bonne maman marmalade or preserved oranges (for the chevre)
  • walnuts, pecans or dried cherries (for the sotto cenere)
  • apple, pear, endive (for the sharp cheese)

and to calm the nerves:

  • bubbly: prosecco
  • white: pouilly fume or sancerre
  • red: gigondas or cote du rhone
