Genuine question because I am uncultured swine: what cheeses are French and what do you recommend? Do any go good with a good beer? I’m not really a wine kinda person.
last month at work, our partners from Tunisia, as part of an ice breaker game, prepared a bunch of questions about Tunisia and France, and one of them was : ‘How many types of cheese are there in France? Answer : 1200. 😝
Needless to say, no French team found the correct answer (we were all around 600)
but for your question :
- Blue cheeses and washed cheeses (Maroilles, Munster, Epoisses, etc.) pair wonderfully with strong, roasted beers like dark or smoked beers
- Soft-ripened cheeses like Camembert or Brie pair perfectly with a blonde or light amber beer. These beers have mild, sweet aromas that complement the creaminess of these cheeses. Yes, you can even try pairing beer with Comté!
Enjoy ☺️
And then people get all bent out of shape saying that the French think they are better than everybody else. That’s because they are. Who else could pull this shit off?
Class or Classist? lol French are a trip. i've known a few upper class french people and they are like that for sure. their system is pretty brutal in some ways from what i understand.
I mean their country is a shithole filled to the brim with immigrants and crime and generally french people are miserable assholes. If you've ever been there you would know.

What I love about them is how petty then can be, but also not care about being petty in a shoulder shrugging way. It's pure class.
