Cheese

I used to abhor goat cheese and now I adore it. Go to Sala on the Bowery, get the fried goat cheese balls with caramelized onions and honey... I know it sounds crazy but it is one of the best food sensations on your tongue-you will LOVE it.

(even better ask for Eddie as your waiter, you'll have the best time)

Cheese

Thank you all for your comments. I loved that you took the time to answer me. But I have decided tht the "cheese police" can do what they want. I'm going to stick to the ones I like and there are plenty of those. I'll just have another puff pastry with whipped cream instead.
Now tell me why I make the greatest mussels this side of France (the only compliment I ever got from my french spouse) but yet I will not eat them and he loved them and so did my two sons. I guess there's a reason I'm a little weird. My late husband always turned his head when I ate "gefilte fish" but I thought it was great and I'm sure there must be a french version of this item. So who knows what turns one on and what turns one off. Thanks again for clearing things up for me. Shirl

cybercita, Thank You! I claim that exemption! ( I wonder if it's the same gene that makes asparagus do that thing.....)

Don't worry if you don't like them, cheese is very personal! Just eat more of the ones you like :)

I have loved 99.9% of the cheese that I have tasted BUT:

The other night about 6 of us were out to dinner and we got the cheese plate to start. There was one cheese on that platter that, to me, tasted like cat urine (or at least how I would imagine cat urine to taste). I actually had to spit it out. Everyone else loved it. Go figure.

jenjen, some people have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap to them. if you're one of those people, you are automatically exempt from having your license revoked.
