Favorite cheeses

Post by In The Woods »

I have seen threads started on beers, favorite malt whiskeys, favorite single-malt scotch, but never one on favorite cheeses. So here goes (probably nothing! :lol: )

I really like smelly cheeses; you know the ones I mean: if they weren't food, they would be handled by a hazmat team. I really like any blue cheese, Havarti, Gouda (not very smelly but tasty), feta, and some others that I can't remember offhand. And one of these days I will try what is rumored to be a Wisconsin treat: two slabs of really dark pumpernickel, with layers of Bermuda onions, topped with a generous buttering of Limburger!!!! :o

Anyway, I invite others to weigh in with their faves; I'm looking to learn something new to try.

With best regards,

Steve Mack

PS: I also love Cheddar, especially the really aged variety. Almost forgot!

Hi, my name's Chris and I'm a foodie who doesn't like cheese.

You can all lynch me now.

Weak, tasteless cheese is fine. Anything that's supposed to be good I can't stand. Love other dairy products though. I even like things "cheese flavoured" like wotsits and chedders (possibly known as different things outside the UK).

I like cheddar cheese from Cheddar, England. I ate some one time which was so sharp and salty they served it with apple slices. It was really good (and I bet expensive).

I also like cottage cheese.

I just like cheese. I don't care what kind. It's all good to me. Even Cheeze Wiz.

I like that kind of Swiss cheese with the holes in it caused by strep (and I'm with Steamwalker on the Monterey jack and pepperjack).

Tragically, cheese (and even more tragically, ice cream,) gives me a migraine. I forego dairy. I used to really like it though.

So... stuff like Mozzamelt and Borden Imitation Sandwich Slices is all you can have? Sad.

Geesh no...even cheez whiz would be better than nuffin'.
Casein is the evil ingredient. They do manufacture soy cheeses without it, but it doesn't melt. Cheese that breaks off in little unmeltable chunks? No thanks.

There are cheeses without animal casein. You generally have to look harder for them and pay more, though.
