The Taste of Evil
Last night, galactic and sam_n_ella came over. The plan was to play board games, drink some wine, and have fun. We certainly had fun, and there was a lot of wine drinking, although the board games part didn't happen, as we were having too much fun chatting and drinking wine. We also had a few snacks, and galactic brought a couple of her favourite cheeses, Applewood Smoked Cheddar and Esrom.
We started with the Applewood, and then galactic got out the Esrom. I was saying something to sam_n_ella and was turned away from galactic, but sam_n_ella was sitting directly across from her and noticed that something was wrong with. I turned around, and galactic looked like she was going to throw up. Very calmly she asked for a napkin, and then spat out the piece of Esrom she had been eating. She told us that there was something very wrong with the cheese, and not to eat it. From her reaction, neither sam_n_ella or I were keen on trying it. Since the cheese was so vile, galactic threw out the entire block of cheese, and because the smell of it was making her ill, I took out the garbage.
We then continued talking and drinking wine, and I picked up a piece of what I thought was the Applewood (we can all see where this is going...). I put it into my mouth, and the moment I bit the cheese, I knew that I had made a grave mistake. The taste was like nothing I had ever had before. I hate the taste of goat (and sheep) cheese so much, but this was ten times worse. There are no words to properly describe the taste, but that is what pure evil must taste like. (galactic, in her attempt to describe it, compared it to smelly socks, a corps, and Hell.)
I immediately spat out the cheese into my hand (I apologize, galactic and sam_n_ella!), and went to brush my teeth. Unfortunately I could still taste it after brushing (the taste would seemingly go away and then flare up a moment later), and needed something to kill the taste. I didn't have any vodka, but I had a bottle of rum that my sister had brought me from Cuba. I was waiting until a special occasion to open it, but this was an emergency, so I opened it up and galactic and I drank probably the equivalent of a couple of shots each to get rid of the awful taste in our mouths.
galactic and Wikipedia assure me that the cheese is made from cow's milk, but I'm not convinced that what we ate was a cow's milk cheese. Either it was mislabeled, or the cheese went bad. I had never had the cheese before, and I know that some cheeses have a strong flavour, but galactic has regularly eaten that cheese from that particular store she bought it from, and she said that the cheese normally does not taste like that. She used to love that cheese (it was her second favourite, after the Applewood Smoked Cheddar), but she will never eat it again.
