Cheese appreciation
« on: September 06, 2006, 09:34:49 PM »
I love cheese. I'm a bit of a wimp though, I can only handle mild cheeses. I love Red Leicester cheese and of course cheddar. I'm a bit funny. I like eating red cheeses on their on and in my BLT sandwiches, but I really like creamy white cheeses in the lasagne Jamie makes. I can't forget to mention brie and cranberry parcels. mmmmmm.

If you like Red Leicester you will like Double Gloucester.  :)  Why not try a new cheese a month.  Some you'll like, some you won't.  Or try those little grab baggie ones.  :)

Cheese is good.

Cheese is GREAT. But  I like mine quite strong... very mature cheddar and blue to be precise!

I love all cheeses.  But the stinky ones hold a special place in my heart.  I love trying new cheeses too.

Crusty Italian bread with strong aged provolone and raw onions.  Yum.  If only I lived in a stinkier culture.   [smiley=smug2.gif]

CHEESE!  GLORIOUS CHEESE!   [smiley=smitten.gif]

I love all kinds!  Yes stinkier the better.  I always have two or three different varieties in the fridge for snacking.  If you are ever in NYC and you love cheese go to Artisanal on Park Avenue.  Fabulous cheeses and wines to pair.  If you are unsure about what you want you can meet with the Cheese Chef and he'll recommend a Cheese Course for you.  I've eaten there quite a few times and it's heaven for a cheese lover.

By far, my favorite cheese memory...strolling around the markets in Nice in the early morning with fresh bread and a hunk of brie. YUMMMMMM.

I'm a cheese lover too!
But im picky... i dont like it too strong/mature or too blue.
My favourite cheese is the one you get in Holland (cant remember if it's Gouda or Edam) with the cumin seeds in it?  I've seen it here, too, but cant remember where...
My favourite everyday cheese is Red Leicester.
Quite fond of Port Salut as well.  :)

Another cheesaholic here. My favourites are Wenslydale & Caerphilly. I also like a nice creamy Feta (not the kind that tastes like sick).  But pretty much any cheese will do. I've passed the addiction on to my son who will eat anything as long as it has cheese on it.  The only cheese he hasn't liked so far is blue. Everything else he will eat: buffalo mozzarella, feta, extra strong cheddar brie, the lot.

A trip to M&S for a cheese might be in order!

You will be back there eating it before you know it! :-*

Hi, my name is Stacey and I'm a Cheeseoholic ;)

I'll try any kind.  The only ones I don't like are the cheddars with the crystal hard pieces in them I don't like cheese that crunches.

I can't get enough of goats cheese. Soooooo good.

And camembert. I agree with the stinky cheese. If you can smell it thoughout the house and it makes you gag, it's good to eat. :)

CHEESE
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah, ever since moving in July I've been on a Danish Blue Cheese kick.  I'll eat it with grapes or apples.  It's like heaven.  My husband just gives me weird looks... but I don't care.  Blue Cheese and I love each other.  How could love this strong be wrong?

... did somebody say cheese?   <drool>

I really, really miss the large, good selection over in England that's readily available in the grocery stores.

I love a mature Cheddar, not too crumbly, not too waxy.  mmmmm  But I'll eat just about any cheese put in front me.

I miss the after dinner cheese board w/ biccies.

I think you should be a trend-setter and start it in the US!  :)

The hardest thing about dieting for me is giving up cheese. I can do without just about anything else, but not cheese.  :(

I've done it a few times, and it's been pretty well received, although some people are confused at the concept of it after dessert instead of as an appetizer...  I just love the lingering at the table after dinner, nibbling on the cheese, sipping on the wine, getting lost in good conversation. 

Having said that, when my family (dad, step-mom and two younger brothers) visited me over there in 1999, they LOVED the cheese.  We did it every night we ate in.   ;)
