Dirty Sock Scent

Sunday 11 November 2007 - 18:15 (gmt +10 / Sydney)

Friday was quite okay. Work was as per normal and I got to spend some time talking with the staff. Normally I'd be too busy to have a proper conversation so it was good to get a chance to chance to know more about the people that I work with.

But for the entire week I was looking forward to visiting my favorite Cheese and Antipasto Bar. I finally got there this afternoon, but as expected there were a lot of people so I have to wait a while to get a seat.

The reason why I like going there is that I love Cheese!!! Especially the local blue-vein varieties. Most people would say that they smell like dirty socks... but I guess that's one of the reason why I like them.!

Sniff-Sniff... mmm, dirty socks!!! Yum!!! Hehehe!

I don't really blame people who are shunning away from such delicacies. Perhaps it's because they don't have an in-depth knowledge of such produce. That's probably why they have a hard time appreciating the really "good stuffs". But that's their problem! Hehehe!

I got myself a cheese platter, with a Brie, a Roquefort, and a Gorgonzola! Plus the little bits and pieces like the quince paste, cream stuffed apricots, olive bread and sun dried grapes. And on the side I also had a glass of Knappstein!

I loved it so much that I got myself another piece of Blue Orchid and another glass of Knappstein. Yum!!! 

And what really appeals to me about DJ's Cheese and Antipasto Bar is that the people who work behind the counter know all about the stuff that they're putting together and selling. They're food professionals. I can sit in the bar and chat with them about food and other stuff and they'd know exactly what I'm talking about. I guess it's really enjoyable for me to see other pros prepare my Cheese platter because I know how much effort goes into it. :)
