“If you do end up with odd scraps of cheese (and booze) the best way to use them up is to make the ridiculously indulgent French cheese spread called fromage fort which simply involves whizzing up stray ends of cheese in a food processor with a little white wine, a dash of brandy or grappa and a good grind of black pepper and voilà - a cheese paté you can use to spread on crostini (aka toast).”
“I call this the "baked potato" colorway, though I also offer a "leftover crudité" option (plastic wrap) as well as "fromage" (wax paper).”

fbharjo Quelle ramequin, then for soft cheese to appease, s'il vous plait (please) in 2155 AD. You will have to wait for 33 years to find out if it is a true clue. (it is stringing it out for a a long sting to follow.) It may become a blue, true roquefort.? Quelle autour? Jan 7, 2012
hernesheir Quelle fromage, fbharjo? None other than that book by Jean-André Roquet about cheese painting -- L'Art nouveau de la peinture en fromage, ou en ramequin, inventée pour suivre le louable projet de trouver graduellement des façons de peindre inférieures à celles qui existent. Marolles, 1755.
It was a satire attempting to deride Jean-Jacques Bachelier's soft-wax encaustic painting technique. Jan 6, 2012

pwrnyc I was questioned by US Customs when I returned to NY from France because my customs form showed that I was bringing back dairy products. I explained that I had bought cheese and was assured it was all right to bring it to the US. The inspector said, "Oh, cheese, that's all right. Some people try to bring in fromage." Jan 3, 2012
