I’m anything but a food snob. Food is fuel for me, not a culinary experience to be savored. I’ve posted about my active-person’s diet, or about gorging myself in Reno. I’d just as rather go to In n’ Out Burger as to a really fancy restaurant. I’m sure my ways will change, but for now, nothing epitomizes my attitude better than the descriptions attached to wine and cheese. A "premium cheeses" catalog came in the mail today and lists all their cheeses with descriptions. Did you know cheese can be:
- Semi-soft
- Pungent
- Smooth
- Meaty
- Mild
- Mildly musty
- Subtly earthy
- Floral
- Herbaceous
- Dense
- Complex
- Beefy
- Vegetal
- Firm
- Fruity
- Luscious
- Mineral tang
- Hard
- Crystalline
- Beautifully balanced
Please people, this is cheese! Can someone tell me what the fuck "subtly earthy" cheese tastes like?
