The Introduction

This blog is for anyone who loves gourmet food.  You don't have to be a culinary expert, just someone who enjoys food that is high quality or above the norm.  The place that for me opened me up to new and different foods as a young New Yorker was and is Zabars.  It is a food lover's dreamland!  It is especially wonderful if you love cheese, which I do.  So my first entry is a cheese called a French Port Salut.  I love this cheese.  It's creamy like a brie or camembert, but it tastes quite different.  It's tangy and smooth.  It's more accessible in taste than the aforementioned cheeses and is great on a crostini, as well as a Ritz cracker.  It matches nicely with a salami or any similar meet.  It's like butter!  Obviously, it should be served at room temperature.  The softer, the better because your taste buds can really envelope the subtle and scrumptious taste.  I like it with on a crostini that's been toasted with olive oil and garlic paste.  Try it today!
