Boursinity


I love Boursin. It's the creamiest, fattiest, most delicious thing you can spread on a baguette or crackers. It's Gournay cheese from Normandie, France - a soft spreadable cheese that reminds me of whipped butter - but way better! If you've never tasted Boursin, i highly recommend making a trip to the East Village Cheese Shop where they sell rounds for a measly $1.00! (At Whole Foods it costs $4.99!) EVCS doesn't always stock Boursin, but i know that they have both new flavors in stock RIGHT NOW, so hurry up and snag a few rounds.

I've tried all the old Boursin flavors; the original Garlic & Fine Herbs is my all-time favorite. However, the new Fig, Raisin & Nut flavor just shot up the list to be a close second! It's a mildly sweet Boursin with little bits of fruit and chopped nuts mixed in - delicious on a Carr's Whole Wheat cracker (which is slightly sweet and flaky by itself!). The new Shallot & Chive flavor was also excellent but quite "oniony" so if you prefer garlic to onion like i do, stick with the original.

That stuff is so good. Do you ever go to Murray's Cheese on Bleeker?

I still haven't been to Murray's! I did check out the location in the Grand Central food hall though, which is where i bought cultured butter - awesome shit! Lulu has a recent post about her trip to Murray's.

if you're in Astoria, I believe the C-Town on 41st Street and 28th Ave. stocks boursin, though I don't know how much it will set you back.
