I know it sounds like a great name for a band, but it is a news item:

Brunost has an interesting taste. I had no idea it was flammable. Wonder if you can use it instead of kindling?

My favorite Scandinavian cheese. Curious mix of sweet and sour, certainly an acquired taste, feels a bit like window putty in your mouth and sure looks the part. Imagine a mix of cheese and chocolate spread and you're there.

I had some cheese the other day which smelled like someone emptied the cat litter box into my clothes hamper. It was phenomenal tasting though!

That Norwegian goats cheese has got great taste. Like Uwe says, it's both sweet and sour. In Scandinavia one can buy it under the name of Gudbrandsdalen. Until recently I had a Danish woman, living just 50 miles from my home, who had her own goats and made her own cheese. Fantstic! The older, the better. Smelled like someone had died, but tasted lovely. But, as I was growing older, she grew older too. And decided to stop the cheese production, just make her own. But I'm laying low, expecting her to want to expand her wallet. Then I'll be there. Ready and a-waiting. There won't be any kind of hesitating! 8)

I think the word you're looking for is "aromatic."  ;D

That does it. All this talk means I will be headed to Ingebritsen's in south Minneapolis next week for some Gjetost. And maybe even some Bond Ost if I'm in the mood.

It's not good for your condition... ;)

Cheese and veggies are a severe bone of contention... :rolleyes:

Well, Dave? Any goats cheese yet? And remember, a nice red wine, or wine from Portugal, is just wunderbaar to accompany the cheese!

Not yet! I've been fighting an awful cold, so I haven't been out except for a few groceries.

From the reports here, sounds like it would be just the thing to clear your sinuses!
