Sarah, when we lived together, would get MAD free food from her work. She would get stuff that was about to expire or items that were mistake shipments. In the last week before we moved she brought home a thee pound block of Roquefort cheese, which has an estimated retail price of $70.

At first we didn’t know what the cheese was. She knew it was cheese and it was free so she brought it home to me. We opened it up and were shocked to discover it was putrid. It was by far the worse smelling cheese I have ever smelled in my life. So of course I HAD to taste it! It was basically like a blue cheese only more blue-cheese-ish than normal blue cheese.

After some research I discovered that Roquefort is known as the “King of Cheeses” and is considered to be one of the most pungent cheeses in the world. It’s actually a type of blue cheese but is made with ewes milk and only comes from one specific place in France (which is why its so expensive).

So far I’ve put the cheese in a salad, on apples, on crackers, in pastas, in stir fry, on apple pie, and on broccoli. I still have about a pound left and I’m just trying to figure out what other cool things I can do with it.
