cheese, stinking but delicious?
hello everyone,
i have been told about there is a sort of handmade cheese in europe, it will smell absolutely stinking when being roasted, but extremely delicious.
(if so, it is similarly right to our fish sauce)
whether this is true?

In all cases, it is very famous in Switzerland.
In others countries... I don't really know. Is our Gruyère cheese so famous in Catalunya ?
http://www.cheese.com/Description.asp?Name=gruyere
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruy%C3%A8re_cheese
Because I live in Fribourg, not so away from Gruyère, and because I like Gruyère, I have to advertise for this very good cheese !!!
Did you know that 2/3 of the production of the Gruyère cheese is eaten by the swiss people ?

I tried it once, many years ago, at my aunt's place. We had such a fun time I'd like to do it again...Tora wrote:I'm willing to taste la fondue - I've heard it's fantastically delicious - but it is so comlicated to cook - you need a special bowl, right? (oh, i'm so hungry! 8) )
But it has nothing to do with cheese now does it?

You can do the easy one. It's actually one of the easiest fondue ever, to me. Chocolate, strawberries or any kind of fruits, and voila, you'll have a good time with your friends enjoying fondue. 8)Tora wrote:I'm willing to taste la fondue - I've heard it's fantastically delicious - but it is so comlicated to cook - you need a special bowl, right?

Oh yes, it does. The original fondue was done with cheese. Then people started to cook it with other ingredients. The one I told Tora is called dessert fondue (did not know it until now). I haven't tried the one with cheese yet, so I don't know how good it would be. The dessert fondue is really good, especially when you're having bonfire. 8)Dixie wrote:I tried it once, many years ago, at my aunt's place.

Making Ricotta Cheese
I've found a clip at youtube that they recorded how people make Ricotta Cheese. The volume is really low. You need to turn your volume on high.

There's an arcade place that is for kids. It's called Chuck E. Cheese's although it has nothing to do with cheese. I wonder why it was named that way. Quite funny!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chucky_cheese
My nephews said their macaroni and cheese is pretty good. I don't know how good it could get to get one to sacrifice his/her health since I find it pretty unhealthy to eat that stuff.

but the picture in wikipedia doesn't coincide with the dish they cooked in bay cafe - frankly speaking it looks more like Adigeyskiy cheese I love so much
cheese believe me under cover is exactly what Resotta made.
have found the recipe of the Adigeyskiy cheese - in russian :( - rather simple to cook and really reminds me of the cafe bay recipe 8)

Re: cheese, stinking but delicious?
Some cheeses don’t smell that bad. The blue cheese is the worst one. Fish sauce and cheese are totally different. Cheeses make from milks, but fish sauces make from fresh fish extract, water, and salt. Fish sauce smell heavier and salty than cheese. I like fish sauce better. It’s better fit with my taste.

I'm sure a simple pan and an electric stove you can put on the table would do it.Tora wrote:I'm willing to taste la fondue - I've heard it's fantastically delicious - but it is so comlicated to cook - you need a special bowl, right?
I was just looking in the web for a fondue recipe, OMG it's unbelievable what people make of fondues Red lobster or meatball fondues, or seafood cheese fondue I'm really open to try new recipes, but I don't think I could put seafood in a fondue*arghh*
Anyway, here's a recipe for an original Swiss fondue:
http://www.theworldwidegourmet.com/cook ... /swiss.htm
By the way, it's a lot of fun to share a fondue with a couple of friends , because you can bet with them to do something funny, if someone loses his piece of bread in the fondue.

Re: cheese, stinking but delicious?
Whoooo hooooo!!! Last time I and my cousins were going shopping, and we smelled something really bad. We were telling ourselves that smell was kinda like nuoc mam. Then we turned around and saw a Vietnamese restaurant on the side of the road.vince90 wrote:It’s better fit with my taste.

We Vietnamese do seafood fondue, too, but we don't use cheese for fondue. We use chicken soup extract. The hot and spicy or Thai tomyum style is pretty good as a seafood fondue. 8)Rach wrote: Red lobster or meatball fondues, or seafood cheese fondue I'm really open to try new recipes, but I don't think I could put seafood in a fondue*arghh*

Yeah we know that sort of fondue with chicken soup extract too, it's really tasty with seafood. We call it "Fondue Chinoise" (Chinese fondue), I have no idea why we call it like this. But the cheese fondue I coundn't stand with seafoodLennyeTran wrote:We Vietnamese do seafood fondue, too, but we don't use cheese for fondue. We use chicken soup extract.
