The Introduction
This blog is for anyone who loves gourmet
food. You don't have to be a culinary expert, just someone who enjoys food that
is high quality or above the norm. The place that for me opened me up to new
and different foods as a young New Yorker was and is Zabars. It is a food
lover's dreamland! It is especially wonderful if you love cheese, which I do.
So my first entry is a cheese called a French Port Salut. I love this cheese.
It's creamy like a brie or camembert, but it tastes quite different. It's tangy
and smooth. It's more accessible in taste than the aforementioned cheeses and
is great on a crostini, as well as a Ritz cracker. It matches nicely with a
salami or any similar meat. It's like butter! Obviously, it should be served
at room temperature. The softer, the better because your taste buds can really
envelope the subtle and scrumptious taste. I like it with on a crostini that's
been toasted with olive oil and garlic paste. Try it today!
A crostini is made when bread such as thinly sliced baguette pieces are put into the broiler drizzled with some sort of oil, preferably, olive oil. I like to add garlic paste to the bread with the oil and then broil.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It sounds delicious.
