I just got a wheel of epoisses cheese from the grocery store out of curiosity. It smells fucking putrid, like cow shit mixed with smegma, and doing research online it's supposed to smell like that because it's washed in french brandy to encourage bacteria formation and it's supposed to be consumed at room temperture so it's creamy with a nice rind. How do i eat it? Do i just, dip bread or tortilla chips in it? It better fucking taste better than it smells, I'm no stranger to crazy weird foods but the smell is legitimately off-putting to me.
>>21980531make some blackberry compote and cover the entire top of the cheese with it then eat on a cracker
Baguette
>>21980531that looks so fucking goodi FUCKING LOVE CHEESE bros
>>21980531It's normally a cramming cheese
>>21980531Delicious cheese, but a little salty for my own tastes. Enjoy on a toasted baguette. Honey, jam, or fruit is nice with it, but it's also great on its own.If the taste is too pungent feel free to not eat the rind, but you should give the rind a shot. It is edible.
>>21980587How do i save the rest of it without my fridge smelling like shit? Because it had a plastic covering over the box.
It tastes savory and almost mildly alcoholic wow
>>21980610put it in a plastic covering or at the very least something with a tight fitting lid. let come to room temp before you eat again.
>>21980694It was Napoleon's favorite cheese for a reason OP
>>21980610Tupperware or other lidded container, plastic wrap, wax paper are all good. The french call stinky cheese the feet of god or le pieds de dieu. Those stinky ass cheeses are usually quite mild in taste compared to the aroma. It's fun to scare cheeselets with them.Some goat cheeses can have fairly strong barnyard tastes/smells, but I think it's awesome.
Why is cheese always so baffling to /ck/ users? I swear no other food causes this much confusion on this board.
>>21980531who filled your circular loaf of bread with cum?
>>21980752to be desu with you, there arent many other foods that are as complex or varied in expression as is cheese.
>>21980531>I just bought this for no reason. What do I do with it?Why is /ck/ always like this?
>>21980808>muh no reasonHe was curious about it. It's called enjoying new culinary experiences and OP chose one of the great french classic cheeses to try. Maybe next time he will branch out and try La Tur, a nice reblochon, or even the excellent saint maure de touraine! Who really knows at this point?
cheese is one of the best human inventions
>>21980531French here. It's best enjoyed on freshly baked baguette. My favorite cheese, also was one of Louis XIV's favorite.
>>21980581Awww yeah! Cheese in the house!>>21980826Do you have a least favorite cheese?
>>21980531Just eat your own smegma next time instead of voluntarily buying rotting cow milk
>>21980847>thinks cheese is rottingRetard
>>21980752>Why is cheese always so baffling to /ck/ users? A lot of them are Asians, Indians (pakis/banglas are a subtype thereof, despite their protests to the contrary) or Asian/Indian-descended, so aged cheese is a strange food (even in those countries where cheese exists, they don't age it, because they lack the conditions).
>>21980826>also was one of Louis XIV's favorite.That's why his ancestors were killed.
>>21980767If your cum looks like that you should def masturbate more often.
>>21980826>>21980702why are french leaders like this
That kind of cheese is best baked.
>>21981055Gotta make your milk last a while somehow
