Kelda, you told me about the haloumi cheese. I'll try to find some. It sound interesting. I was saw Nigella Lawson on tv make something with it, but I had no idea what the cheese was.

And I love Epoisse cheese. Have you ever tried it in the oven? You make little holes in it with a fork and pour a bit of white wine in them. Then you put in in a low heat oven for a few minutes, so the cheese starts to melt a bit. Put it on crusty french bread, hmmmm, delicious.

I've never met any cheese I don't like, though I haven't tried Limburger.  ::)

The Epoisse cheese with wine sounds delicious and I wondered why I'd never heard of it, so I googled it and found out it's banned in the U.S.  :-\  The description of the aroma in this article is pretty amusing, though:  "like your 15-year-old son's socks after a baseball game, but in a nice way."   :laugh:

But I'll try to find the haloumi!

That's why Wholefoods don't have it. I was so annoyed they didn't ,I bought several mini cheese cakes, stilton and some brie. So that was a cheap trip, not.

So, Leslie and I went to Leuven yesterday and a visit to the cheese shop was imperative.

We had a lovely meal with very nice cheese, bread, beer and wine (white and red).

The cheeses we had were: Saint Nectaire, Reblochon, Brie de meaux, Stilton, and a goat's cheese from Rocamadour. Except for the Stilton, all were from France. Good cheese, good wine, good company, what more do you need?
