The Brian Lehrer Show

I've always thought people who like "stinky" cheeses also have foot fetishes! I'll bet'cha a majority do.

Those people store the cheese in their socks. The Pew research center did a study.

People who like stinky cheese are the classic emperor no clothes syndrome. It's like convincing yourself you like to drink vomit. Then these eggheads try to convince others that it's good. It's the same people who tell you that America has representational democracy. Yeah, right, and stinky cheese tastes good. Here, have a cigarette, drink a beer.

I always thought it was more like people who say Cuba has a better health care system than the US, or maybe like people who tell you how Ron Paul will save America.

Well, stinky is subjective to a point. But some stinky cheeses DO taste good, e.g, pecorino romano (especially on pasta and maccaroni! mmmm) Bear in mind fungus is what makes cheese and feet and the locker room "stink," that is if you think locker rooms are sticky. Fungus is the culprit in cheese, feet, and, uh, well you know where else! It is ubiquitous and omnipresent.

Raw goat milk cheese, is that the one that taste like grass but is illegal in the US?

Were did he get raw milk? It's illegal in NYS I tried from the farmers market and they refused for that reason.

Viva Pont L'Eveque!!

Raw milk is safer than pasteurized!!! And it's really tasty, from my farmer!

I want to try that ricotta cheese!

And I have the stink problem schlepping kitchen scraps for composting to the Union Sq Greenmarket. (Anybody know a solution for that?)

Love this food stuff, Brian
