$10.95/lb. From the dates on it, it looks like they just got it.
Ripe Cow + Goat milk cheese wrapped in sycamore leaves. Ask for it at
a store near you.

Wedges were .77 to 1.1 lbs. So I grabbed the .77. On some of the
wedges the leaves didn't cut so well so they got kind of crumpled
inside the inner-wrap but my little 3/4lb'er was perfect.

Yeah. 3/4 is a manageable size for a small family. Maybe I've been
lucky or just don't know better but I've never had a bleu I didn't
like. Even as a kid in the 60's I'd order it on my salad on Saturday
nights when my dad took us out to a steakhouse. It was never in our
fridge so it was a real treat for me.

Oh, so now you're calling me a pig? :-)

Blue cheese keeps well if wrapped properly. As long as it wasn't on
it's last legs when I bought it, I can make it last a month or more
depending on the variety (the harder the better, of course).


I didn't like it until I was about 21 or 22. I had always shunned it
since a kid remembering my mom eat that shit - and the smell .

Then one morning at brunch at Il Fornaio (San Francisco) I was served
a slice of fried polenta with creamy gorgonzola on top. Eww - I
started to eat around it and decided, "Oh, What the hell"... and dug
into the cheesy part.

Ever since then my Pre-Cheese days are just a foggy and fading memory.

When it comes to cheese I'm a pig too.


I've had good luck with it too.


I don't remember the first time I had it but it was early.
