[Sca-cooks] What's the right cheese for an interrogation?

[JIMCHEVAL at aol.com]

I really am pretty sure that "fromage de mai" was simply the standard term  
for spring cheese, and one that endured into the nineteenth  century:

"Dans la province d'Utrecht le fromage d'hiver se vendait f 18 à  f 3o, le 
fromage de mai f 26 à / 32, le fromage d'automne f 22 h f  26."    
 
(winter cheese, May cheese, fall cheese)

Perhaps May cheese here refers to
cheese that has gone off, in  which case eating it would be a pretty
unpleasant experience.
