Blue cheese is a mystery to me - it's fouler
than pretty much any other substance that has been
represented to me as food.

Many people feel the same way about natto, stinky tofu and fish
sauce. The only one I don't plan on having again on purpose is
natto.

With natto, it's the snotto texture that gets most
complainers. The taste in my experience varies
between dull and mildly objectionable.

Some people probably don't like Chartreuse either.

You must admit it's a peculiar flavor. SOW, yesterday
I had a Campari soda.

Friends don't buy friends Chartreuse. It's one of those things
that sit there reproachfully until you gradually hide them
farther and farther back in the liquor cabinet.

My bottle is lasting a long time but it will probably be gone within
a year as I still like it periodically. I am sipping something
similar to this on a Sunday morning right after brunch.
Title: The Bijou
1.5 oz gin (preferably Plymouth)
0.5 oz sweet vermouth
0.5 oz green chartreuse
1 dash, orange bitters

Looks interesting, and I think I had one once.

This cocktail was once as popular as the martini. And then it
disappeared. But in the cocktail renaissance of the last decade,
classics have been exhumed, polished and updated for modern palates.

I actually wonder about that last - how quickly do
palates change? Fashions, sure. Prejudices, sure.
Palates?

My Sunday Bijou
1.5 oz Ungava gin
