Random: Tubular Brie

[zrath]

As seen in the cheese section of my local Trader Joe's:

TUBULAR BRIE

"New shape! Perfect for crackers or on its own!"

On n'arrète pas le progrés...

(Literal: "One can't stop progress." - Contextual: "What will they think of next?")

Well, at least it's not "string brie" or "brie in a can!"

Well it saves from having to wait for a brie to ripen, or worse find one that IS ripe. The way they're doing it there, too, allows it to be flavored as well. Probably longer life. PLUS it doesn't have that white mold encasing it.

Actually, it does have the white "mold" around it. It's hard to tell in the photo because the cellphone washes out the colors.
Also, it makes it tougher to see if the brie is hard or beginning to soften. Normally, you'd look at the sides of the wedge.
You don't want a hard brie, you want a semi-hard one. It tastes better.

New! Brie on a Stick! ^_^

Sorry, could not resist.

Terror's reaction was, "Eww!"

In case you'd like to add the expression in even more languages, the German one is "Der Fortschritt ist unaufhaltbar". ;)

My "carpool buddy" Dave says his french wife tells him that her friends at home think what we call "cheese" in the US is a joke.
Especially stuff like

They sent samples over to France, and got ROFL back. On the other hand, samples of "Slim Jims" generated "Send More _NOW_!!!" requests. *chuckle*
