The problem with America’s cheeses is that they are all pasteurized. When you’ve had the opportunity to taste France’s 400 kinds of cheese, you will really know what heaven is....especially when a nice French wine is accompanying the event. Don’t forget nice crusty French bread which I prefer to crackers.

International Wine Store at Springfield, MO has cheese from all over the world. I've brought home and enjoyed little squibs of French and UK cheese and found it was excellent but WHAT A PRICE !

Maytag blue is from the same old Iowa family that had the washing machine factory in Newton, IA.

Another Maytag cousin, Fritz Maytag owns a beer brewery in San Francisco called “Anchor Steam.”

The washing machine division of the family lost control of the firm and had outside directors hire an incompetent CEO. He couldn't stand living in small town Newton and had to be chauffeured each morning from a home in Des Moines.

A friend once tried to smuggle unpasteurized brie on an airplane and it seeped through the wrappers. It won’t be stopped.
