- @medz I am really not a cheese person, because looking at what you wrote I’m not sure all of those are actual words.
  
  My guess of “big thing of swiss” for #4 appears to be way off.

- @Ozzie2191 You should go over to casemates and read the forums there sometime… That lot loves using their big, made-up words. I can’t stand it. Too pretentious for me.

- @medz #5: in VT, we just call it camembrie. It doesn’t run as much as Brie does.

- @medz isn’t it #5? At least it looks like it to me. I could be wrong. But it looks like a rind of delicious creamy French brie…
