Note that even if it's a traditional dish here, only a minority of people are OK to give it a try. Often to impress other people around the table.

> You have to drink wine when eating this, like stroooong red wine.
You know, I don't generally associate "you'd have to be dead drunk to eat this" with "it's not so bad".
It's just a matter of knowing what pairs best, or get rid of aftertaste if the food is peculiar.
If you translate « pair with a strong red » to « get dead drunk » it’s on you and you should get it fixed, it has nothing to do with Gp.
Sounds like there is less protein rich ways of eating the cheese as well.

Please tell me you've read "Asterix in Corsica". Goscinny makes at least a couple of jokes about Corsican cheese, and in one of them it's called "some kind of demented cheese" :P
