The Grave Robbers Of Genghis Khan (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
“Disaster,” he muttered. “What a disaster.” For once Groanin did not overstate the matter. But he wasn’t talking about the news on television, although he might easily have been: Another volcano — Bjarnarey, on the Vestmannaeyjar Islands, near Iceland — had become active. He was talking about events that had occurred in Decebal’s apartment in Guidonia the previous evening when Groanin had cooked an elaborate five-course dinner for ten, hosted by Decebal and his girlfriend, Bogna. Things had gone relatively well until the cheese course when Groanin had served a local blue Gorgonzola, which, the uncouth and ignorant Romanians insisted, was blue because it had spoiled; they proceeded to accuse him of trying to make a fool out of them and that he had intended to trick them into believing that the strong-smelling, blue-veined cheese was edible. When Groanin had loudly protested that Gorgonzola was supposed to be blue veined and strong smelling, the skeptical Romanians had pelted him with the Gorgonzola as well as all the other cheeses he had purchased from the Guidonia Cheese Shop — d’Aosta, Grana Padano, Parmesan, and pecorino.
