We’ve received dozens of recipes for themed cocktail recipes for Oscar parties. For example, combine gin with Earl Grey Tea, and call it The King’s Speech cocktail.
Fatigued at the idea of 12 different “Best Picture” cocktails, we’ve published just two over the past month.
But the idea of an Oscar-themed cheese board caught our interest. Here are suggestions from ArtisanalCheese.com, one of the finest online cheese purveyors, on how to create an Academy Awards cheese board:
The Fighter: Aged Roquefort (it’s a salty punch)
The Kids Are All Right: Goat cheese (goats are kids, too, and goat cheese is always all right)
The King’s Speech: Cheddar, Stilton or Wensleydale, iconic English cheeses
The Social Network: Any mixed milk cheese—two or more milks connecting socially
Toy Story 3: Flosserkäse, an aged Swiss cheese with woody notes
True Grit: A washed rind cheese like Epoisses or Livarot, a challenging stinker for turophiles with true grit
Winter’s Bone: Comte, the great Swiss mountain cheese, as complex as nature
