oat cracker...

with cheese and fruit compost...


1

I need some cheeses before I'm heading back to visit my family in Thailand this Wednesday. I'm not sure if I can find these cheeses there. They're my favorite cheeses, Brillat Savarin and Pierre Robert. They taste similar, but Brillat Savarin has a higher water content. Buttery, creamy and mild, theses cheeses are often served with bread and jam.

I do remember when I started to eat cheese, but I don't remember when I started to like it. As a Thai, cheese seems to be the worst food ever. It's the same way some people think about durian. Thanks to my boss, she introduced me all kind of cheeses while I was working with her. I like to eat these cheeses exactly the same way she taught me how to eat them.
