      Blue cheese is a bit strong for most people, I can respect that, I’m one of those people. The trick is knowing what to pair with blue cheese to help balance it out a bit.

      You want my recommendation for how to enjoy some store-bought blue cheese? Try it on a burger, with some sliced avocado instead of lettuce. The meat and the dense fruit balance out the blue beautifully, you get all the nice taste of a blue cheese without feeling like your mouth got nuked from orbit by smelly cheese.

          Avocado’s a silly thing to try to sell blue cheese to a blue cheese hater with anyway, it’s almost completely flavorless. What you want is a bright, tart fruit, like a strawberry or an apricot. The sugar and tang of the fruit kind of countersthe funkiness and complements the creaminess of the cheese. Could be fresh fruit or in a jam/compote or whatever. Throw that shit on a cracker and enjoy the ride! Or continue to hate it, lol, that’s also acceptable.

          I don’t hate it, I just don’t get it. It just tastes like plant.

        It being strong is not the only reason it is disliked. Usually its the taste that people dont like
