My husband and I think tasting as many French cheeses as possible a most noble goal. <BR/><BR/>As dedicated cheese lovers, we wish we had kept tasting notes on the cheeses we have enjoyed over the years on our annual trips to France. It's a great idea, we shall make a start this year when we spend another 10 days on the Canal du Midi then the Luberon and Corsica. We hope to visit the Olonzac market again and now that we know about it, and with some luck, taste the Chèvre de Roquecave.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/>JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-92000286383166993552008-04-24T08:24:00.000+02:002008-04-24T08:24:00.000+02:00KenMaybe we should do a cheese exchange?:)I think ...Ken<BR/>Maybe we should do a cheese exchange?<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>I think €5 a week is reasonable too.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245742506531002363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-33092282324626626052008-04-23T18:22:00.000+02:002008-04-23T18:22:00.000+02:00I wish I had a list of all the cheeses I've ever t...I wish I had a list of all the cheeses I've ever tried. I bet it wouldn't add up to 81, and I've lived in France off and on for nearly 40 years.<BR/><BR/>Five euros a week is a very reasonable cheese budget, I would say.<BR/><BR/>I really want to try that chèvre from down your way, and I wish I could send you some chèvres from our local ferme-auberge La Lionnière so you could try them.

Cheese is relatively expensive, even the really crappy Wal-Mart cheddar--it would be easy to spend 5 euros a week just on THAT. But instead, you are spending your money on high quality artisanal cheeses--I would gladly spend twice that for what you're eating!<BR/>Anyway, since you're kind enough to SHARE your cheese with us, that 20 euros goes a long way!Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835230715383729187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-59513483128288253932008-04-22T18:04:00.000+02:002008-04-22T18:04:00.000+02:00I don't that is bad..I spend about £10 a month on ...I don't that is bad..I spend about £10 a month on cheese...and thats not French Cheese..but I do always see what our local store has in ,and try a little bit..before I buy.Anne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20775625.post-74383490585005781662008-04-22T17:34:00.000+02:002008-04-22T17:34:00.000+02:00I don't think 5 Euro's a week for cheese is that b...I don't think 5 Euro's a week for cheese is that bad. I probably spend that much as well and I'm not even getting to eat good French cheese! I take whatever they import at my local Whole Foods :)<BR/><BR/>You must be having a lot of fun trying out all of those cheeses!Rachel Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400333101249137605noreply@blogger.com
