I've had gjetost cheese, which is similar to the Gudbrandsdalsost. Crackers are good, on fresh tart apples, even better! Then you get that sort of sweet and sour thing going. Then you really get more of the carmel flavor to it, with the contrast.

We have a relatively decent Lebanese market so I've gotten dates and candy for holidays before. The dates look virtually nothing like the things we're used to seeing as dates in the US. They're just absolutely beautiful looking. The weirdest candy I got last year were the rose petal candy and the tub'o sesame candy. Yeah, the sesame came in a tub. it has the texture of malted milk, but tastes intensely nutty. Excellent on ice cream.
