Ser jest dobre!

I had a cheese feast on Saturday.  Check it out


Bless Groupon.  We got $60 worth of cheese/deli items for $30!  How decadent.  Here's a rundown of what we got.

Delicious Truffle Mousse Pate
Camembert
 
St. Angel and Bierdeckel
the best buttery melt in your mouth St Angel
 and the worst ca-ca smelling Bierdeckel
Pont Leveque
creamy and wax encased

Vintage 7 year Quebec Cheddar
strong and crumbles but not too much
Bruder Basil, smoked semi soft (yellow)
Fuet, hard, Catalan style salami/sausage (side)
Loukaniko Greek sausage (top middle, white label)
 
My favorite, hands down was the St. Angel.  It was fantastic, creamy, buttery...mmm.  It almost melted at room temperature.  I also liked the Bruder Basil.  The smokey flavor and semi soft texture reminded me of Munster or Monterrey Jack.  Honestly, I liked all the cheese except for the Bierdeckle.  Apparently it is washed in some German beer.  It's too funky and strong for me.  As for the sausages, I preferred the Greek one.  I like salami but in limited quantities.  Pepperoni would have been better.

Before  - Fuet (red), Camembert (white), 2 plates of crackers, pate (brown),
On the multi cheese plate (clockwise from the top)  - Bierdeckle (yellowish wedge),
Bruder Basil (rectangle), 7yr Quebec Cheddar (square), Pont Leveque, and St. Angel
I loved Arrowine.  They have a fantastic cheese selection but they are mainly a wine shop.  It was worth the trip to Virginia....
