Look for Epoisses - it may be more expensive,
but it's famous enough so you might find it.
I also find it better.

It is far more expensive but it is available at the little fine food
store that Chef Pierre started which the landlord inherited and now
runs. And yes it is the very best of that style.

Speaking of which, how does the landlord managing
to make a go where Chef Lepage couldn't? And where
is that worthy person now?

... Everything tastes better fried but eggplant fries are a disappointment

You might be surprised.

It just a random tagline. I've never tried making them; I always
assumed they'd soak up too much oil and be soggy. Perhaps I should
try it at least once.

Fried eggplant

It just so happens there is an eggplant in the fridge right now. It
was originally meant to become ratatouille but ...

I recommend the dish. You might do a two-stage 325/375
(160/190) frying to get a thoroughly cooked inside and
a crisp outside.
