    Blue Cheese

    I purchased a nice slab of Stilton last week, had only eat a bit of it before my wife chucked it out.

    Her reason.....

    "It was mouldy"

    All cheese is mouldy. Chuck the wife out.

      My ex banned me from having stinky cheeses.

      One of the first things I did once she was history was to go on a booze cruse to France to stock up on all the things she wouldn’t let me have. That included the stinkyist cheese that la Fromagerie had. Young lady there thought it was very funny, but the owner understood very well.

      I don’t recall exactly what it was I bought, but it was lovely. However, it did taint the other food (which was the ex’s complaint) and I am sure that it used to move around the fridge (where it’s not supposed to be kept anyway) by itself.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Are there other mould or bacteria ridden foods we are missing out on? How about stinky meat that has been left to fester with your favourite cheese fungus or bacteria cultures?

          Okay!

          Hung Game: Mmmmm!


          The real purpose of hanging game is to enable the fibres of the flesh to break down and decompose so that the meat will be more tender. It is very difficult to give exact times as it depends entirely on personal taste. Some prefer slightly tougher meat with a fresh taste, while others enjoy very tender meat with a decidedly 'high' smell and flavour. These times therefore are only very approximate, and are for average seasonable temperatures. If the weather is hotter than average, hang for the shortest length of time given, and if colder than usual, for the longest. The older the game, the longer it must hang. Birds are ready for cooking when the tail, inside leg, or breast feathers can be plucked out easily. Game birds are always hung by the neck (although some say you should hang a pheasant by its feet, until the body drops!). Overhung flesh will have blueish patches on it. Game should always be hung in a shaded place in a current of air, well out of the reach of cats, dogs or foxes.

            Game birds? I am not talking about SA.

              Yeah, cats, dogs or foxes know when they are onto a good thing

                  I prefer Danish Blue to Stilton. It has more of a "tang" and just tastes nicer.

                  That crumbly white cheese is nice, although I forget its name. Wendsleydale maybe?

                    This is the stuff you want if you like a 'strong' cheese

                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinking_Bishop_cheese

                    Stinking Bishop's notorious odour, which is said to be similar to unwashed socks and wet towels, keeps it popular in the UK and abroad. The distinctive odour comes from the process with which the cheese is washed during its ripening; it is immersed in perry made from the local Stinking Bishop pear (from which the cheese gets its name) every four weeks while it matures.

                    Might cause the missus to buy a new fridge if you leave it in there
