French: La Fête du Fromage


We had a wonderful time at our cheese party on Friday. The girls sampled mimolette, morbier, camembert, chèvre, saint-albray, and roquefort. Our two most popular cheeses were mimolette (which, sadly, is very difficult to buy in the US these days) and chèvre. However, I was impressed by the number of girls who liked the very strongly-flavored roquefort. Elles sont courageuses!

Our party was a "no English zone." The girls did a great job speaking only French. Here, they are politely asking for chèvre and roquefort.


After they tasted each cheese, the girls took notes on whether they liked it (J'aime), they liked it a lot (J'aime beaucoup), or if they didn't like it (C'est bon is our polite way of saying Je n'aime pas tellement).
