Stilton? My mom wants me to make a stilton soup for her for a dinner party she's hosting

I'm having trouble locating it... is it a unique blue cheese flavor? Or can I sub another blue for it? And if I can.... suggestions?

It's a blue cheese from England, a litte milder than Roquefort and Gorgozola. You could

safely substitute any good blue cheese.

Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? That's where I bought mine last.

Really? I thought it was the strongest cheese I've ever tasted. To be honest,

I slightly gagged on it.

And this was high quality imported stilton, a sample sliced off and fed to me by my millionaire boss who had one of the largest wine collections in the United States. He was deciding whether to put it on the restaurant's cheeseboard.

Honestly, I don't think he appreciated my reaction. But in my defense, I told him I wasn't much of a cheese eater. Unless it was Kraft Mac n' Cheese.

Cheese is like fruit, with different stages of ripeness. Sounds like you tried an overripe sample.

That's a good idea... I haven't tried there yet. Our local TJ's has an absolutely impossible parking

lot situation. No lie, I avoid it like the plague. There's never ever a spot there to park, plus the aisles and spots are super narrow so it's hard to get in and out of if there ever WAS a spot, which there's not. And there's no street parking either. It's a very frustrating place to go to.

But for my mom, I might have to brave it. Maybe at like 7:00 in the morning. On a work day?

It tasted like Blue Cheese Gone Bad {sung to a country-western tune}
