Cheesy Dane

Post by Farang »

Among my numerous failings one of the lesser ones is being a cheese-head. I have just gotten a fix of
absolutely divine Danish Esrom cheese. It is a Port Salut type of cheese and so pungent, I am sure
it is transported from Denmark in lead-lined submarines. When you open it in you house, the soi dogs
disappear for a fortnight and the neighbours won't talk to you ever again. It is known to strip off all the
paint of a Russian battle tank at hundred paces upwind.

It should be eaten with very, very strong red wine, crusted port or battery acid. In cheese rehab
the withdrawal process starts with other cheeses, this is the hardest and the last one. One is
deemed to be cured if at rehab one can abstain from Esrom for a period of 90 minutes.

Thank you Demark for producing it, and thank you All in Hua Hin for dealing it.

Glad you got what you were after, but comparing Port Salut to a pungent cheese doesn't seem quite right?

"Port Salute Cheese 1 lb

Also called Port du Salut, this rich, savory cheese was originally made by Trappist monks in Entrammes, France.
Lactic bacteria is used in production, which gives the cheese a acidity to complement its mild taste.
It is shaped in thick wheels with a dense, pale yellow interior and an edible, bright orange rind.
The Danish version is known as Esrom. This supple cheese is popular for breakfast and snacking,
especially with fruit, and goes well with rye bread."


Probably different school of cheese, different cheese, different interpretation or different Google page?

Some of the Port Salut cheese are pungent, not all of them. However, the good stuff is available should
there be another cheese addict among us. Esrom is not for the faint of heart or sound of mind, mind.
I actually pretend to remember that the Geneva Convention rules forbid Esrom to be fed to POWs.

I remember my Mom having fits as my Dad liked something called Liederkranz(sp) and Camembert(sp), both stinky. I've tried the latter and find it good. Never have found the other. Pete :cheers:
