Hey Roger, My Fridge Science Experiment is better than yours

:rolleyes: You French are awfully insecure about your products. Champagne, Port and now Roquefort. These products should speak for themselves and not require legislation to attract coneseurs. Saying that, I would love to try some genuine roquefort one day. With that drink you offered me I will have to ask for some cheese to accompany :) There are some fine cheese producers here in SA (with good French influences). regards, Paul Bluegrass South Africa Ravi Bhavnani wrote: it's sold on EBay and shipped from China (on how to inspire confidence in your product) Crikey! ain't life grand?
It's all about tradition. We believe these products are not only the result of a mix of ingredients, but also the result of a specific part of the country, because of its specific soil and climate. These products have geographical names (Champagne is a region, North East to Paris, Roquefort is a small town in South West of France, and what the heck is 'port'?), it's not a coincidence. Several wines could fit with Roquefort: a white wine from Alsace like a Gewurztraminer or something sweeter like a Sauternes, or a tannic red wine, like a Cahors (not too old) or a Madiran. You'll have to taste all of them. If you want to change for another cheese, we have 400 different ones :) What food product does SA export?

Can I vote several times? ;P I love Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Brie and Camembert... :sigh: If only they were cheaper enough for daily consumption... :sigh: You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer
A friend and I were talking about the brazilian beef meat, and we both agreed it was one of the best we ever ate. A question was however unresolved: Are growth hormones used on the cattle?

Probably you have tried our barbecue ("churrasco") - if don't, try it sometime. KaЯl wrote: Are growth hormones used on the cattle? AFAIK, almost not anymore, although there is no law against it: IIRC, about 10 years ago, there has been this national movement against hormones on the cattle, and a brazilian research company, Embrapa, has created some soy-based diet complements that are so much cheaper than hormones, that they were banned from use. But you know, there is still some people coding in COBOL nowadays... :) You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

Oh Karl, my apologies. I was being facetious with you as the matter is a prickly one and not worth getting worked up over. I do understand that Champagne and Roquefort are more than just a process and external producers using the names you have built up over centuries is a bit harsh. My sister adores the French and I have promised to take her to Champagne and other parts of France one day. As for SA we do produce world class wine and cheese. The area I live in, the Cape, is particularly good with many wine routes and good vineyards. As for original products... hmm, I doubt boerewors and biltong count. We are still a young nation in comparison to France. regards, Paul Bluegrass South Africa Ravi Bhavnani wrote: it's sold on EBay and shipped from China (on how to inspire confidence in your product) Crikey! ain't life grand?

Oh, I found both Roquefort and garlic to have a strong contraceptive effect: my wife is not able to come near me for the whole night :) You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer
LOL Turini. There is one very good lateral advantage of roquefort; If you love it and you have it on your pizza you won't have any problems from friends picking at your pizza. I have tried a similar technique on my pudding but alas roquefort and sorbet do not mix. Mores the pity. regards, Paul Bluegrass South Africa Ravi Bhavnani wrote: it's sold on EBay and shipped from China (on how to inspire confidence in your product) Crikey! ain't life grand?

Daniel! My long lost brother of taste! Man we have to have a cheese evening. I love all those cheeses. Oh dear... now I am getting peckish... soon I will have blocks of roquefort floating before my minds eye and I will just have to go break the bank on some (as well as brie, cam and all those wonderful cheeses). Then nobody will be able to come near me for a few days, far worse than garlic I hear. regards, Paul Bluegrass South Africa Ravi Bhavnani wrote: it's sold on EBay and shipped from China (on how to inspire confidence in your product) Crikey! ain't life grand?
I vote a fiver! One of the most successful fundraisers we ran this year was a wine and cheese party. $20 for all the wine and cheese you'd care to sample, and in all we raised $8600 to help the local high school build a decent gym. Delicious! Roquefort is a bit pungent, but quite delicious. Bleu cheese is more suited to daily consumption, though all cheeses are delicious!:-D "My Fridge Science Experiment can beat up your Fridge Science Experiment."

We have just done a clearout prior to resiting the fridge, lurking a the back was plastic bag labelled "Parmesan Cheese" and its long lost/forgotten, it contains a quantity of grey/green goo:omg: Got any recipes:~ John Hudson An imaginary Chris Maunder standing in front of mirror is misquoted remarking: Nothing says "you're not normal" more than the little things. :wtf: http://www.rainbow-innov.co.uk[^]
