A sewage worker, and a pig farmer and a FrenchPod101.com student are on a holiday in France. After a long day seeing the sights, they retire to a bar. They order some wine and cheese. But instead of the flaky, odorless fare that they are used to, the waiter serves them a block of blue cheese with a strong aroma. “Phew!” says the pig farmer. “That stinks!” “Yuck!” says the sewage worker. “Disgusting!” “Delicious!” says the FrenchPod101.com student, popping another piece of cheese in his mouth. “A Brillat Savarin, if I’m not mistaken.” The jaws of the French people around the bar drop, both at the ignorance of the farmer and worker, and the knowledge of the student. A Frenchman approaches the trio. “You, sir are what we French call a connoisseur. Please, allow me to pay for your meal, and show you all the wonders of our country. Leave those ignorant companions, with their noses polluted by sewage and pigs, and join us.”

Today’s lesson is about cheese. Stop by FrenchPod101.com for an English translation, review exercises and more!
