Food Thing
Blue and Gorgonzola
Annual U.S. production: 94.7 million pounds
Blue cheese is one of those cheeses that you either love or hate — passionately. Made with cow’s, sheep’s or goat’s milk, it has cultures of the Penicillium mold added, giving it blue, green or black veins and a distinct pungent smell that some find divine and others find abhorrent.
For those seeking a less, shall we say, powerful cheese, there’s gorgonzola — a specific type of blue cheese that’s considered more mild than its Stilton or Roquefort counterparts. Its characteristics include smaller blue veins, a considerably less pungent smell and a milky, almost sweet flavor.
Movie/TV Trivia
Bridget Jones's Diary
To prepare for the role, Renée Zellweger gained 25 pounds, and then actually worked at a British publishing company for a month in preparation for the role. She adopted an alias as well as her posh accent and was apparently not recognized. On her desk in this office she kept a framed picture of then boyfriend Jim Carrey. Workers who did not recognize her found this to be odd, but never mentioned it to her for fear of embarrassing her.
