or remove it all. Mash the soft creams together with the
Roquefort, butter and flour, using a silver fork. Put the mix
into an enameled pan, for anything with a metal surface will
turn the cheese black in cooking.

Stir in the cream and keep stirring until you have a smooth,
creamy sauce. Strain through sieve or cheesecloth, and mix in the
olives and pimiento thoroughly. Sprinkle well with cayenne and
put into a pot to mellow for a few days, or much longer.

The name _Schnitzelbank_ comes from "school bench," a game. This
snappy-sweet pot is specially suited to a beer party and stein songs.
It is also the affinity-spread with rye and pumpernickel, and may be
served in small sandwiches or on crackers, celery and such, to make
appetizing tidbits for cocktails, tea, or cider.

Like the trinity of cheeses that make it, the mixture is eaten best at
room temperature, when its flavor is fullest. If kept in the
refrigerator, it should be taken out a couple of hours before serving.
Since it is a natural cheese mixture, which has gone through no
process or doping with preservative, it will not keep more than two
weeks. This mellow-sharp mix is the sort of ideal the factory
processors shoot at with their olive-pimiento abominations. Once
you've potted your own, you'll find it gives the same thrill as
garnishing your own Liptauer.
