Hey Roger, My Fridge Science Experiment is better than yours

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?

Hey you might be onto something here, I live in Gwernymynydd - which means translated by 10 Welshmen in a locked room "Swamp between the mountains", this certainly looks like it came out of the swamp:omg: 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[^]

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?

[note to self: never ever make jokes about friends' sisters, even if the temptation is big] No problem, but don't mess with our food, it is sacred. :-D Paul Watson wrote: world class wine Hehe... we should perhaps consider an exchange, I've never tasted SA wine :) Paul Watson wrote: boerewors This?[^] :omg: It looks like the things dogs drop on the pavements! :eek:

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[^]

The fellow giving the talk was asked what happens to cheese if it is left out too long, will it spoil? He told us, "No, it just becomes a different cheese." X| 'til next we type...
