'There's a delicious pecorino if you would like to try; it's truly exceptional'. Pecorino is one of the least attractive cheeses imaginable;sour, sweating, salty, with a lingering after -taste.

Is its truly exceptionalness an exaggeration of these qualities - or their amelioration?

'It's Sardinian!' Does that make it worse or better? Aren't qualities supposed to act as a guide?

I quite like pecorino too - depends on the type, and the bread you have with it. but then I'm also a great fan of cheddar cheese (any type).

The sweetenters were truly extraordinary in the horridness, I suppose one wants to share extraordinary experiences...
