There’s a little place in New Hope, PA that serves a baked brie with raspberry sauce which is the best thing I’ve ever tasted in my life. Unfortunately, it’s extremely rich and ater the first few bites I feel like I’m going to hurl if I eat anymore… but ohh, I always want to so baaad… mmmmm… ---

The Master has, of course, touched on this very question: [Why does Swiss cheese have holes in it?](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/010323.html). And the Teeming Millions then discussed: [A comment and a question on Swiss cheese](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=64724). ---

Here’s another brie lover! My partner turned me onto the many varieties that cheese can be. For most of my life I thought there were only two types; cheddar and swiss. Then my palette got educated! _whoopie_😃 ---

It’s ok, but blue brie (Cambozola) & peppered brie are gorgeous. I prefer Roquefort (blue, ewe’s milk cheese) to all other takers. :: curses lack of brie in house as the garlic with crusty bread option sounds very tasty right now, thanks Scarlett - one updated shopping list coming right up :: ---

Love good brie, but it’s damned hard to find a good one. Even some labeled “triple cream” is tasteless. Every once in a while it is possible to find a nice raw milk brie at just the right age. Luscious. ---

**Rasa** , a little violent illness is a small price to pay for the exquisite glory that is Eating Cheese. Come on, do you want to be a slave to your body, or do you want to _live_? ---

Warm brie, cold-sliced granny smith apples, french bread, white wine… Yumm. We need Scylla in here to write some more “food porn.” ---

Brie is OK, but Cambozola is better. Love extra sharp cheddar, but Jarlsberg beats Swiss any day. The one I dont get is Feta. Blechh. ---
