Have you had brie?
Friend just brought me a bunch of it. Tried some. Consistency and flavors so alien, I'd believe it if you told me it was Martian cheese. Not bad, just odd. Do you cook with this shit? Spread on dainty crackers?

Brie is usually eaten as is with crackers or bread. It's not generally used in cooking. The only recipe I know of is baked brie. Wrap a whole wheel of it in several layers of filo dough and bake until the filo is brown and the brie is soft. Serve with some jam or fruit and, of course, crackers or bread. Brie is a very mild cheese. There are some truely alien cheeses out there.

@bostonspdo Thank you I appreciate the insight. What would you consider a very odd cheese?

Off hand, I don't have any names but many soft, ripe cheeses, especially from France but also Spain, Italy and other places including now the USA have very strong, pungent flavors. A group of cheeses called bloomy rind cheeses look weird but are actually relatively mild tasting. They are covered with a thick white layer (edible) of soft penicillin mold.
