I think they used to used Mescaline to detox heroin addicts too.

There are MANY blue cheeses now made in US, Msmofet. but Maytag was among the first ones.

Without thinking, I can safely name:
Point Reyes Blue
Rothkase Buttermilk Blue
Oregonzola
Oregon Blue Cheese (there's a company in Oregon that ONLY makes blue cheeses -- at least 5 different ones!)
Capriole
Deep Ellum Blue
Hubbardston Blue
and there are at least thirty (yes, 30!) more I am sure.

thank you.

there was a cheese i used to buy from a farm in new jersey that was imported from france i think (many years ago), it was a blend of blue cheese and brie. i can't remember the name but the farm for some reason could no longer import it. do you know of this cheese?

For store bought Blue dressing I like LightHouse. In the produce section.

Gee... I consider pears and blue cheese a classic combination! [We have that for dessert on a regular basis!] I do prefer toasted walnuts with pears and blue cheese, tho.

I pair pears and bleu cheese quite often - it's the full-blown bleu cheese dressing and adding pears to that salad that is off-putting to me. But pears and blue cheese are a match made in heaven!!!!!!!!!! ...you can throw in a few blueberries too!
