        Had to do a search. Never tried that particular type.

        Stropshire Blue is pretty tough to find in the US but worth the effort. It’s like a strong cheddar with blue cheese veins.

          Sorry 😂. The cheese is Red Leicester, the human is Lester. They are pronounced the same.

          I had some Red Leicester once, but haven’t found it again. It had a flavor similar to strong sharp cheddar, and a soft/creamy texture between fresh cheddar and American cheese, but not as rubbery; more… Friable? Crumbly? It was good.

          I’ll keep an eye out for Stropshire Blue.

      I have a friend who named his kids Brie and Colby. He never had a 3rd kid, so I always wondered what other cheese names were out there.

    For nerds like me. The female name is short for Brianna or Gabriella. The cheese name is from the French region of Brie where it originated in. That region got its name from the Gaulish word briga meaning “hill” or “height”.

      Also, if it isn’t from the Brie region of France, it’s not technically Brie. It’s sparkling cheese.

      Parents are sure to delight in Brie’s connection to the French region, too, famous for its soft and creamy white cheese

      Always goes back to the cheese as the real reason
