The Cheese Thread

[tplyons]

I like cheese. I eat it on crackers, on sandwhiches.

My favorites with crackers lately are:
Gruyere
Jarlsburg
Good ol' cheddar

And it's gotta be on a nice buttery cracker, nothing fancy.



On sandwhiches, I'm a provalone guy.

What do you like?

one word:

hoffman's pepper jack

man that is some good crap...

pretty much any sharp cheddar is nice also, with the applewood smoked variants being particularly tasty

 

[tplyons]

Pepper jack is good, but I prefer a more cheesy taste, if you know waht I mean, not much of an outside substance mixed in.

Now Colby jack is a cheese I can love.

For me, cheese is more like a condiment, not a side dish. I like colby, and I used to love mozzerella until I tried making some mac and cheese casserole style with it. It didn't turn out so great, and it didn't agree with my stomach. I haven't touched the stuff since. I generally stay away from cheeses like provolone, swiss, etc. And given my stance on cheese in general, I don't go for any fancy stuff, either.

Swiss, Provolone, Havarti, whatever. Love it all. Mozzarella. I'm silly w/the stuff. I also watched some Wallace & Gromit tonight- definitely cheese-related. <---Saying 'cheese'

i don't think i have met a cheese i didn't like, even cranberry cheese, although there has been a lot of French cheese that has had really interesting flavors...like mold, however the card said it has an "earthy overtone"

I like cheese.... ...What do you like?

I had a thread like this, but i dont mind stating that blue cheese is the best cheese on earth once again.

Cheers!

i don't think i have met a cheese i didn't like...

Amen, brother.

You guys forgot smoked gouda!!

I love all the cheddars and pretty much any cheese (other than stinky ones) but damn, smoked gouda!!

This brings to mind Monty Python's the"Cheese Shop", and begs the question, who cut the cheese?

Alas, I love cheese too but fear I am allergic, I have to take my cheese in limited doses. And extra sharp aged Cheddar is a great place to start.

Asiago d´Allevo with bread
Pecorino Romano with pasta
Emmental (or Swiss if choices are limited) with sandwiches or eggs... Just had Ham & Jarlsberg omlete for breakfast

 

[SuperDuck]

Cheese is a wonderful thing. Being new to Wisconsin, I am enjoying these incredibly unhealthy items called "cheese curds". Yummy. I can hear myself getting fatter.

Yes!

 

[DigMe]

Since I'm in Wisconsin at the moment I must weigh in. I dig cheese too. Especially cheddar. Pepper jack is great as is mozzarella.

I see you're in new jersey ... next time you come to nyc, you MUST check out Artisinal Cheese. http://www.artisanalcheese.com/

great restaurant (which i haven't been to) and amazing cheese from all over the world (i've indulged in a few of their over 300 kinds).

a friend of mine had over 20 different kinds of their cheese at her birthday party--she's nuts. most of it things i'd never heard of. all of it was amazing. intense varieties of blue cheeses, sheeps milk cheeses, raw cheeses, cheeses infused with herbs or truffles. holy wow.

also great is murray's cheese shop in the village on bleeker street.

both places sell the cheese at the peak of ripeness--ready to devour right now.

Fresh Mozzarella is allways nice , I have had some good Irish cheese in the states simlar to cheddar. I agree Tim Provalone rocks on sandwhiches , so where are you taking me to lunch ?

 

[SenorQueso]

I'm so glad you all love me!

... Just had Ham & Jarlsberg omlete for breakfast

Sounds excellent! I just finished the Jarlsberg a few days ago, so I may have to try ham and gruyere today.

 

[Jason Carota]

My two favorites are fresh Parmigiano Reggiano and Cabot's "Hunter's Favorite" Seriously Sharp Cheddar.

Stilton. The best of blue cheese.
