Good question, Joan A. It has some give when you poke it, to indicate the gooey ripe cheese lurking beneath. An unripe camembert feels more hard and solid. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| Poking The Camembert Paris Flag this comment	10/9/08 6:09 AM
Regarding the apple question: if you try it, just remember to slice them mandoline-thin so that they cook quickly with the other ingredients. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| What On Earth Is A FlammekÃ¼eche? Alsace Flag this comment	10/8/08 7:11 AM
Didn't know that Trader Joe's has a frozen version. They have them here, too. But if you have the dough ready, this is so incredibly easy and lightning quick to assemble that you really don't need to buy it pre-made!

Art, If you buy them frozen or from a street vendor or a restaurant, they are usually rectangular or circular in shape. But I was rushing to get the photos done in time for my post! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| What On Earth Is A FlammekÃ¼eche? Alsace Flag this comment	10/8/08 6:02 AM

Zeta, Fromage blanc is a fat-free white "cheese" that has the consistency of crème fraîche but has a slightly more sour taste (it's also very popular here because it is lower in calories). You can also find fromage blanc with cream added, making it less than fat-free. If making this in the U.S., you could use sour cream or crème fraîche.

Zeta, Alsatian is a dialect spoken in France and the way I have spelled it is the way it is spelled here. More on Alsatian here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsatian_language And yes, you are right about the German spelling, which is different than the Alsatian spelling of the same thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammekueche Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| What On Earth Is A FlammekÃ¼eche?

Mgood, It's not terribly bitter to my taste but could easily become bitter if over-brewed (I left the sage in for no more than 10 minutes). It's definitely an assertive flavor, and I wasn't sure how I felt about it for the first few sips, but I found it oddly soothing by the end of the cup and have now been drinking it for three days straight!
