Rocquefort feels like one that has / could / should be used

Rockford ("rook" (the bird) + "ford") is a common American place name

Rockefeller (from German Rockenfeld <- Rukenvelt "ridge field") is an American surname

Roquefort literally means "fortified rock/cliff"

Rocquefort is also a french village that makes and names a stinky cheese hence the mention of it on a cheese themed thread.

I'm OK with cheese names as long as we don't do Casu and/or Marzu

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What's wrong with Casu?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Sorry in advance

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sounds terrible. Why would that exist? Furthermore, why would anyone want to eat it?

Are we slowing moving towards gagh?
