Chevre
I hate goat's cheese. I really, really hate goat's cheese. It tastes like they pee while they're being milked. Nothing good will EVER come of goat's cheese. They should either stop making it or create a health and safety standard that requires all people to label it "Hazardous Waste Alert - Goat's Cheese".
Sheep's cheese, on the other hand, is delicious. Yum.
I've also decided that I can take stinky cheese as long as it doesn't smell like an unwashed body part. But if I start to think I'm near a toilet all bets are off.
Here's an unexpectedly delicious recipe using stinky cheese that does NOT make me worry I need a shower:
Baked Sweet Potatoes with Leeks and Gorgonzola
Things you'll need:
1 Sweet Potato per person
leeks
gorgonzola
olive oil
salt and pepper
Wash the sweet potato/es. Dry them. Anoint them with (olive) oil.
Put them in a pan, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and bake them at 375/190 for an hourish.
Slice some leeks (your call how many, but remember that leeks are, in fact, delicious). Bung some more olive oil in a pan. Saute the leeks until they soften and start to brown. Stop now.
When the potato/es are done, cut them in half. Put them cut side up in the pan. Cover with sauteed leeks, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Now lay a slice (yes, a SLICE, not crumbles) of Gorgonzola on top, and then slap them under a hot broiler for about 2-3 minutes until that cheese starts a bubbling.
Eat. I like a sauvignon blanc with this, but an Italian white would be just fine, too.

Sorry, dale. It's been sweet, but I can never love a man who likes that pasty, pee flavoured crap.
Lu, there is not enough bacon in the world.
Lulu, I'm making Fettucine with Tomatoes, Bacon, Arugula and Goat Cheese for dinner. Care to join me?
Besides, goats eat everything under the sun and a few things that have crawled out from under rocks as well.
Pecorino is the cheese. Even Americans haven't figured out how to ruin it.
"It tastes and smells like goats."
