[QUOTE=Seat13F_AC_CRJ;9024417One of my favourites... Brie de Meaux. Some claim it is the best brie. [/QUOTE]

**salivating**

Brie de Meaux is the best brie I've had - after you taste it, other bries will seem rubbery and flavorless!

If you're really looking to try some new things, I suggest Livarot or Pont l'Eveque. Even Epoisses, one of the stinkiest cheeses!

Make sure you include a variety of cheeses (different milks, different strength of flavor, different styles, etc) so you can enjoy the differences! A good cheese plate for my tastes would be: Montrachet or similar fresh goat cheese, Brie de Meaux, Livarot or other super-stinky cheese, Morbier, Gruyere or other mountain-type cheese, Forme d'Ambert or other blue.

(sorry, I can't figure out how to type the accents in FT)
