I'll be BRIEf

I ordered a turkey and Gouda sandwich at Au Bon Pain during lunch. For some reason it took two girls to make my sandwich, one of which put brie cheese on it. The other girl looked at her and said, "Girrrrrl, that ain't Gouda! That's Brie! You gotta be careful because there's people who can tell the difference."

Then they both silently eyed me, trying to decipher if I was one of those wacky eccentrics who can tell the difference between Gouda and Brie.

No way was I getting pigeonholed into the crazy cheese connoisseur stereotype. I kept my trap shut when I saw them put Swiss on the sandwich, and called it a day.
