Cheese, Glorious Blue Cheese
The myths, the truths, and amazing recipes!
Buffalo wings with blue cheese have become one of the most popular bar food treats. In my opinion, you can keep the wings; I’ll simply dive into the bowl of blue cheese dip.
I don’t know if the advent of this brewpub nosh had an impact on the popularity of blue cheese, but it was certainly my introduction to the funky fromage. Until then, I had assumed that blue (or bleu) cheese was only favored by those who dined on fancy French cuisine.
A cheese may disappoint. It may be dull, it may be naive, it may be over sophisticated. Yet it remains; cheese, milk’s leap toward immortality.
