Hacking Vacherin Mont D'Or?

[John@PC]

Thanks for the accolades my friends but, I'm still not sure I made what I started out to make. LOL

That's ok Al.  As Shakespeare wrote, "A rose cheese by any other name would smell as sweet".  One more cheese for a master hacker.

Perception often trumps reality!   

[Al Lewis]

Well, whatever I made, it's delicious!!   I would recommend this one, whatever it is, to anyone that likes raclettes.  Not the cheese, the style.

[LoftyNotions]

I thought whatever this was was supposed to be gooey. 

Really nice! AC4U.

It was, all the way through lunch! LOL  Split the top open and added about 2 tablespoons of white wine and heated in the convection oven for about 10 minutes at 325° F.  Stir it up and start spooning!!

[Danbo]

Makes me want to take the next plane and steal your cheeses! ;-)

[Al Lewis]

Better hurry, they're going fast!! LOL

[Frodage]

That cheese pot pie looks like a meal on its own! AC4U.

[Al Lewis]

Received an e-mail ad last night highlighting this.  Coincidence?  I think not!!  LOL

[H-K-J]

me to Al, I had to chuckle when I saw it LOL.

[Al Lewis]

Yeah, it sure seemed like strange timing to me. LOL

AOC, POC , Patent it or whatever you call it Al.... Claim your place in the annals of cheese history.  It's only me but I dislike those who ride on the success of others without duly recognising their effort.  And no I don't pirate movies or software.. I've spent enough of my career writing stuff to be a little miffed when it happens to friends or myself.  You took an idea and adapted it - nay perfected it - and for someone to claim it as their work really pisses (sorry if that's a little strong) me off.  I know we can't really own an idea and heaven knows my bloomy white bear a huge resemblance to a popular French cheese,  but the instructions are too close to yours for someone to accidentally 'Discover' a new cheese - not without work themselves.

I'm sure it was only a coincidence, wink wink, but I know what you mean.  When I served as the Historian for the 366th Composite Wing Tom Clancy wrote his book about us called Air Force Wing and used a historical revue I had written about the wing titled 366th Wing, From Richmond to Mountain Home.  He blantantly plaguized my book and never gave me credit in his.  If I had the money at the time I would have sued him.

I must be missing something here. Who writes the "Cheesemaker" recipes?

[Stinky]

As I understand it, someone emailed Al an ad containing, basically, the recipe he used.
