I have never had Brie before, but my partner asked me to collect some
recently, because she said she liked it.

It stank the fridge out, then despite being triple bagged - it stank the
entire house out, such was the strength of the pong - I had to throw it
in the bin outside. Still triple wrapped - The fridge had to be washed
out and I could still smell it 50 yards away at the far end of the garden.


Doesn't sound like Brie to me!

Fine, but the rest of us can tell the difference in taste.

Never heard anyone say that before.

Then you need a hearing aid, bad.

Especially with potatoes which have almost no flavour anyway,

Even sillier than you usually manage. Your taste buds are ****ed.

they're always mixed with other foods which have a taste to them.

Not always.

Apples, oranges, they're tasty.

Yes.

Eating a potato on it's own is like eating bread.

Depends on what you do with it. Lovely roasted in a fire.

But you need to add stuff to give it flavour.

Nope. Just cook a good potato properly.

Cooking won't magically give it flavour.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.

Raw meat has much less flavour than after its cooked.

They're bland.

Not when cooked properly they arent.

Still nothing like tasty fruits.

That tastes like ****.


you told me everything smelt and tasted the same.

Or to me but maybe there's some brie the french have that we don't see much of in the UK like the norwegian canned fish. The brie I see in supermarkets is less smelly than mature chedder.

Some bries can honk massively. Most dont.

The moulds that form the crust can generate ammonia.

Here's a lovely quote:

"Brie should smell like athletes socks they've worn for 3 weeks.
Definitely NOT like a zombies knob."

Makes me wonder whether they is a small scale we have one for most other things we can sense. Sound light, force....

Wasn't much mould on my Brie and pear sandwhiches I had on Friday wasn;t much smell either. Unlike a mates farts after a few beers.


Here's a lovely quote:

Well yes most desciptive but I thought that was either gordenzola or munster cheese rather than brie that I;ve had.

Don;t worry he can;t tell his feet from his shoes adn he hits his head on door frames because he can;t work out where his eyes are in realtion to his head.
It doesn't suprise me he can;t tell the differnt between meats, but the fact he thinks they all taste the same does show he has more serious problems than learning how to wear clothes.

See above.

Have you noticed that the vast majority of supermarket
tomatoes
have
*very* thick and tough skins?

I don't see what all the fuss is about, all potatoes
and
tomatoes
taste
fine to me.

Fine, but the rest of us can tell the difference in
taste.

Never heard anyone say that before.

Then you need a hearing aid, bad.

Especially with potatoes which have almost no flavour
anyway,

Even sillier than you usually manage. Your taste buds are
****ed.

they're always mixed with other foods which have a taste
to
them.

Not always.

Apples, oranges, they're tasty.

Yes.

Eating a potato on it's own is like eating bread.

Depends on what you do with it. Lovely roasted in a fire.

But you need to add stuff to give it flavour.

Nope. Just cook a good potato properly.

Cooking won't magically give it flavour.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.

Raw meat has much less flavour than after its cooked.

They're bland.

Not when cooked properly they arent.

Still nothing like tasty fruits.

and even less like a kebab.

That tastes like ****.

you told me everything smelt and tasted the same.

No, all meat tastes the same.


Even sillier than you usually manage. The best roast leg of lamb
tastes nothing even remotely like the best steak, or a piece of
chicken breast.


Don;t worry he can;t tell his feet from his shoes adn
he hits his head on door frames because he can;t
work out where his eyes are in realtion to his head.


It doesn't suprise me he can;t tell the differnt between meats,


Yeah. all that banging of his head on everything is what
has ****ed him between the ears completely, quite apart
from the ear to ear dog **** he started with.

Fortunately you lot are paying his benefits, not me.

but the fact he thinks they all taste the same does show he
has more serious problems than learning how to wear clothes.


And he can't even be chained to the wall in Bedlam anymore.

Still, we are free to poke a stick at him in here with no risk of getting
bitten...

Plants are food. Eating meat is eating already digested food. You're being lazy. Only cats have such poor digestive systems that they need other animals to do half the work for them.

Not all of them do. Some of them turn their nose

Very nutritious and healthy.


Trouble is that you end up furry and howling

anyway,

Even sillier than you usually manage. Your taste buds are
****ed.

they're always mixed with other foods which have a taste
to
them.

Not always.

Apples, oranges, they're tasty.

Yes.

Eating a potato on it's own is like eating bread.

Depends on what you do with it. Lovely roasted in a fire.

But you need to add stuff to give it flavour.

Nope. Just cook a good potato properly.

Cooking won't magically give it flavour.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.

Raw meat has much less flavour than after its cooked.

They're bland.

Not when cooked properly they arent.

Still nothing like tasty fruits.

and even less like a kebab.

That tastes like ****.

you told me everything smelt and tasted the same.

No, all meat tastes the same.

Even sillier than you usually manage. The best roast leg of lamb
tastes nothing even remotely like the best steak, or a piece of
chicken breast.


Don;t worry he can;t tell his feet from his shoes adn
he hits his head on door frames because he can;t
work out where his eyes are in realtion to his head.


It doesn't suprise me he can;t tell the differnt between meats,


Yeah. all that banging of his head on everything is what
has ****ed him between the ears completely, quite apart
from the ear to ear dog **** he started with.

Fortunately you lot are paying his benefits, not me.


Actually everybody pays their own benefits because they tax everything here.

but the fact he thinks they all taste the same does show he
has more serious problems than learning how to wear clothes.


And he can't even be chained to the wall in Bedlam anymore.

Still, we are free to poke a stick at him in here with no risk of getting
bitten...


Are you admitting to being a troll?

Plants are food.


Only for herbivores, sheep and cattle and donkeys like you.

Eating meat is eating already digested food.


Even sillier than you usually manage, vegy.

You're being lazy.


Even you should be able to manage a better
troll than that pathetic effort. Obviously not.

Only cats have such poor digestive systems that they need other
animals to do half the work for them.


They are the only carnivores eh ?

Even you should be able to manage a better

Cats love raw fish and cat biscuits. Very nutritious and healthy.


Mine love cheese and pasta.

Not trolling, just pointing out that herbivores convert plant matter into animal matter, then lazy buggers like you and cats take the already created animal matter for food.
