03/27/2011- Epoisses

The ICC met for the 10th time on March, 27th. Members present: Moobs, Scott, Jesse, Tony, and Susie the Cat. Special guests: James, Richie, and Rossco. The cheese: Epoisses.

Sniff before the slice:

Moobs- a landfill

Scott- trash...pure and simple...trash

Jesse- like a fat person's leg crack

Tony- a used cat box in a garbage can that's not been emptied ever

Richie- full to the brim trashcan that's been there 2 weeks.....like someone
draining a boil

James- straight up garbage

Ross- cat piss

Thoughts on the taste:

Moobs- This is the worst cheese i've ever had.....of all the nasty things I've put in my mouth, which there are MANY, I can only think of one or two items worse than this....worse than the vomit jellybean. Has an ash aftertaste. Tasted like rotting dreams.

Scott- Better than it smells, but I don't like. It tasted like trash. The aftertaste was a very, very bitter cheese. An awful taste.

Jesse- I am the king of the creamaphobe. Really psyched out about the smell and the texture. Eating off a plastic spoon, felt like a hobo experience. I had to bite the spoon so I didn't get the cheese on my lips, I broke the spoon. My brain blocked the flavor the first couple times, but once I ate the grape and the cheese it hit me. Tasted really bad.

Tony- One of the top 10 worst things I've ever put in my mouth...ever.

Richie- It was okay, but still the worst cheese I ever had. The initial taste was terrible. The aftertaste was bitter, but alright.

James- Initially it taste fine, kind of creamy, but the aftertaste lingers. It wasn't bad.

Ross- I thought it tasted a lot like Easy Cheese. The rind gave it an ashy taste. I liked it.

Best application:

Moobs- The cheese went best with the grapes.

Scott- The raisin toast. It completely overpowered the taste.

Jesse- In the store.

Tony- I can't think of where this would be good at all. I almost threw up.

Richie- The mini-toast. The texture compliment (soft and crunchy) was good. The toast absorbs a bit of the taste. The cheese and the grape was the worst, I can't STAND that. The liquid from the grape and the cheese was awful.

James- The mini-toast added a butteriness to the texture of the cheese. Raisin toast just covers it up.

Ross- Grapes and cheese almost made me want to throw up. The mini-toast was probably the best.

Final thoughts:

Moobs- I really wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Smells, tastes like, and is going into the garbage. Worst cheese ever. Best meeting ever though.

Scott- Pretty vile substance. Only the French would take something so horrible and call it gourmet.

Jesse- It's a sickening cheese. Almost made me puke four times.

Tony- Throw it out and never look back.

Richie- I'm never sitting next to Jesse again. He sounds like a dying goat.

James- I wouldn't want to eat it, but I wouldn't be afraid to try it again under another circumstance. They could use this to train police dogs to find corpses. Napoleon is full of crap (editor's note: Napoleon's favorite cheese).

Ross- Way more expensive than it should be. I agree with Scott, only the French.

Susie the cat- Didn't like it.
