on the nature of cheese... - Page 4

I shredded a bunch of my Crappy Swiss into cooked rice and added soy sauce and a bit of teriyaki and Mexican hot sauce. I had no idea what to expect but it's really good.

It's "levure", according to my dictionary, or, as I told them at the time, "Ce qui cause le pain de gonfler."

It sounds really weird but good.

This thread reminds me of what I had for dinner today. I had a big bowl of Campbell's Chunky Steak 'n' Cheese soup. (I know, I couldn't believe it either when I first saw it.) And I had a block of Cabot Sharp Cheddar on the side.

By the way, Cabot definitely makes the BEST cheddar I have tried. Even refrigerated and wrapped in plastic. I adore it. I don't think you can get it outside of New England, though. They make a damn good monterey jack, too.

The best Cheddar comes from Cheddar.

The best cheese comes from *debatable*.

CR, I got used to Cabot cheeses when I lived in Boston, but I find them here in Florida now, too. They're very good. I have some of their black wrapped private stock cheddar in my fridge. Yum!

If you ask for a baiser, you'll get a kiss. Is that what you meant?

Yep, that's levure, all right.

('cause it makes bread rise - se lever)

Huh. Weird. I know you sure as hell can't get Cabot in Baltimore.

Well, it might make sense if you knew that half of Florida is populated by New Englanders, (and the other half by Northern Mid-Westerners). There are many stores that are only in New England and Florida (?!).

Well, in the traditional sense yes. But I was told that in the french of the youth, the meaning has shifted. It's a bit like it is with the meaning of "gay".

Baiser apparently means something more...sexual now.

Oh, by the way: My favourite Salami is a salami called "Chambelle". It is Salami with a soft camembert lining.

Delicious!

Here's a translation (from a slang dictionary)

Quote:

baiser ‡ to f*ck note This sense has almost replaced the earlier one of "to kiss", which in contemporary French is "embrasser". Do not use "baiser" to mean "to kiss" if you don't want to be misunderstood!

FGM, do you have Fresh Samantha juices in Florida? That's something I really miss from the east coast. Once when my boyfriend was in Boston for work he brought me back a bottle... it was the best gift ever.

Fresh Samantha is now owned by Odwalla, who corners the yuppie juice market in California, so they don't sell Fresh Samantha here.

ps But I just did a Google search and it seems Fresh Samantha isn't made any more. How very sad. That stuff was like pure heaven nectar.

I was just going to say that I hadn't seen it in several years - I guess that's why.

Yeah! I like this one it too!

BTW, two of my favourite Italian cheese which didn't get an honorable mention in this thread yet are Pecorino and Paglietta.

squarejawhero · 01-24-2005, 10:01 AM

Never heard of the second one, must ask my lady.

Hm... anyone mentioned Gorgonzola? Best. Cheese. Ever. I can't eat enough of it, it's an addiction.

Yes and no.
"Un baiser" = "a kiss".
"Baiser" = "to ****"
So if you ask for a baiser, you'll definetely get a kiss. Of course, it means that a slight grammatical error ("Je veux baiser", instead of "Je veux un baiser") could mean big trouble, but hey, that's the punishment for not using french properly.
