On The Cheese Truck - 8/1/2010


Laurent Bonjour - Cheese Corner

SPECIAL OF THE MONTH:
$2 off per pound of AGED FARMHOUSE CHEDDAR
- crumbly but creamy, sharp, nutty, earthy
- excellent with unsalted butter





THIS WEEK'S NOTABLES ON THE TRUCK


Fleur du Maquis

- a sheep's milk cheese from Corsica, slightly acidic and sour
- has a mild earthy flavor that becomes sharper with age

Pont l'Eveque
- well known for its bouquet
- with a strong pungent aroma that is not for the timid

Purple Haze
- a perfect mixture of lavender and fennel pollen
- sweet flavor that plays off the acidity of the goat cheese

Saucisson Sec / Dry Salami
- a rich chewy pork product that literally melts in your mouth
- goes best with cornichons or black cured olives

And don't forget duck sausage with figs and merguez for your BBQ.

It's summer, so there's more BBQ and salads on menus. Laurent has Sweet 'n' Spicy BBQ rub, as well as six (6) different dressings for your salads that can be used as marinade or sauce for your meat or seafood − basil, garlic and parmesan; honey, mustard and blue cheese;  balsamic; mustard, garlic and champagne; orange and raspberry; and Provençal.

Teething necklaces... for some oddball reason, he has teething necklaces for sale too.

At the Larchmont Farmers Market every Sunday, 9 am - 2 pm, rain or shine!
