It wasn't all that unexpected, considering how deftly the demo_ncRats are at cutting it, thereby stinkin' up the place.

We con't call her Smelosi for nothin'...

All joking aside, I'm shocked the demo_ncRats didn't find a way to prevent this win.

It sounds delicious. Good to eat with some juicy Oregon pears.

It’s all part of MAGA.

Trump’s fault. :)

I give my dog a one-ounce string cheese stick every day. Every time he hears cheese being taken out of the refrigerator he comes running, and I have to “pay tribute” by giving him some. Cheese is fantastic food.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I don’t think anyone’s ever milked a Cape Buffalo, and lived to tell of it.

Not surprising, seeing what those things can do to a lion.

[TexasGator]

Not funny.

[SkyDancer]

Grating wasn’t it?

When Americans focus on an industry we always make some of the best, if not the best, products.

I think they deserve congratulations, but, honestly I can’t be in the same room with bleu cheese.

The mere aroma reminds me of, shall we say, “The Exorcist”, if you get my drift.

[McGavin999]

I love good Blue Cheese. What a tremendous compliment.

Sharp pinconning....

A good blue cheese and a very ripe pear is one hell of a good combination.

[TianaHighrider]

blue cheese and a pear? Never had it together but sounds so delicious!

[Conserv]

I do not like Gorgonzola. It’s about the only blue cheese I will pass on.

[Conserv]

It’s absolutely scrumptious.

[HonkyTonkMan]

Well played, Sky. A little fermented curd will do the trick!

[Cold Heart]

Actually the tasting is quite scientific. I know one of the judges who is actually a Trophy Judge (the ones that taste and decide the winner after the general judges make their decision). Each cheese has certain requirements that can be quantified and qualified. The judge I know had her company’s tasters tested alongside chemical testing and the tasters were able to match the chemical analysis.

Your right in that someone may prefer a different flavor.

A lot of judges taste the particular cheese before it makes trophy. The average person may taste no difference at all in the top 5 cheeses of a type but a judge will.

[SkyDancer]

Which begs the question: how to tell if sour creme is bad?

[TianaHighrider]

I thought it was pretty cute myself! I always feel special when I get Velveeta instead of 'nice and cheesy'.

[billorites]

I’ve had a number of different Rogue River cheeses and they’re outstanding.
