It Tastes Like Burning
We had a wonderful dinner at Ze Mean Bean Cafe this past Friday evening. Fool ordered the always outstanding pierogi dinner. I ordered the marlin topped with a mango salsa which was also excellent.
We ordered a 2003 Ninth Island Pinot Noir (Australia) but they were out of that vintage so we accepted the 2004 vintage instead which, by the way, was very yummy. To go with the wine, we ordered a cheese board and selected three different cheeses including Stilton.
After a single taste, Fool joined the ranks of Stilton non-fans. There were the normal comments that it tasted like a smelly foot which are always funny but she followed up later with the funniest cheese comment I have ever heard. When I asked exactly what it is was that she didn't like about Stilton, she answered simply, "Cheese is not supposed to burn your tongue."
Case in point. :)

p.s. Afterwards, we had a nightcap at Ale Mary's which is a friendly little joint with a pleasing aesthetic. Stop by if you get a chance.

When you say pierogi, do you mean a fried dough pocket with potato filling? I didn't know they existed in Baltimore. Hot damn!

I do mean fried dough pocket with potato filling. The best in town, if you ask me.

Sorry I missed you guys. I've actually been having Fridays off lately.
By the way, one of the sayings our chef has is, "Never trust a man who likes Stilton cheese." I agree. It's nasty shit.

Oh, now that is just blatant cheesism. ;)
