Vive La Mold

I have discovered nirvana in a cheese… Saint-Agur. A few days ago, after sniffing maybe a dozen cheeses in Rainbow, the local lesbian wholefoods co-op, I settled on this creamy blue mold cheese. Later when I ate some of it I thought I must be mistaken – that maybe I was hungry and no cheese could possibly taste this good. So I decided to give it a few days and try again. My faith was rewarded: this is indeed an exceptionally fine cheese that is creamy, blue moldy, and altogether refreshing. I’ve tried it raw, on unleavened bread, and on pizza and it’s all good. Now I just have to find a good potato recipe and I am set! Saint Agur is from the Auvergne region of central France, which sounds delightfully similar to Averoigne, the sorceress-infested, vampire-ridden medieval French backdrop for many Clark Ashton Smith stories!
