Brie

Having purchased some Marks & Spencer brie today (and some smoked processed cheese... so good even though it shouldn't be) to go with some fresh bread I decided to ignore the "mild and creamy" brie (seriously, what's the friggin' point? If you don't like brie because it actually tastes of something then just eat another cheese, a mild and creamy one if you must) I settled on a Brie de Meaux.

Upon bringing this home and showing my partner I, of course, pronounced this correctly. She, however, was under the mistaken impression that one does not pronounce "Meaux" as a cat might.

So I decided to check (not that I needed to) to see if I was right.

I checked with a cheese expert.

I asked said cheese expert how to pronounce "Meaux".

An answer was immediately forthcoming.

So there you have it.

Brie de 'miaow' it is then.

The cheese from our local independent shop tastes better. Oh well.
