Guinness French Onion Soup

[Aelin]

There is one that makes Gran Cru Gruyere I found on line, but you have to order on line and then pay shipping costs. I have no car so am stuck buying the imported one in the store where I go if I want some. Yes, it is the duties and import fees that make it expensive. I tried Gran Cru once from the store because they did not have the Cave Aged, and did not like it as much as the Cave Aged. It has basically the same creamy, nutty flavor but not as smooth and not with the little 'tang' or bite the Cave Aged has.

Hahaha, we are the fanatics of cheese here  It's a French thing, oui?

it's a French thing, mainly with camembert and gruyere. Comte and roquefort are great cheeses too, but i do not eat now. Because I'm a vegetarian, and they put in animal rennet (taken from the stomachs of babies animals); and it's hard to find cheeses made with vegetable rennet. But more and more clients ask for these lasts.
But before, it was a bunch of cheeses passing on my table in the year 

It's true that more ancients cheeses are delicious.

Showed this to three of the fellows at work and they all wanted a copy of it.  And we are one of those type that would pick up the rest of the ingredients so I could make it as well, we do remember French Onion soup as the soup of the day at the Village Restaurant when I was doing the food and beverage part of my life and damn it was good.

So this ought to be a grand reunion to say the least.

Cool :) That's what it's here for - to try and to share!

I know that isn't exactly the same, but there are no producers of gruyere on your country? I know a few people began to create real French cheese in the USA; not gruyere similar at this of France of Switzerland? For a little cost?

  it's horrible for price!  :eeeew:

[sidherose]

Yes :) You can keep your brain Aelin

If i understand, it's $7 or $8 for 1 oz? (or my job have eat my brain? lollll)

Yes, gruyere have most taste with age. Like camember   
Here, for an organic gruyere, kilo is near of 20â,¬ (something like 30/35$ i think). For industrial, price is 8/10â,¬, but not really taste; and sometimes, with platic in pack 
If i could pass a part by screen, i would.

I don't think we get the organic here, but I have never had plastic in the "Cave-Aged Gruyere" I have gotten. It is always cut in wedges from the round. Eek - plastic!! It is very creamy and has a wonderful slight sharp taste. 1 kilo = about 2.2 pounds for us. I think that is about the same price here. But the wheels/rounds here are really big - maybe 2 kilos. I never got a price for that. I think the wedges are about 1 oz. (about 28 grams). They are by weight and from $7 to $8 (5.5 to 6â,¬) .
