Favourite cheese?

Post by BiscLimpkit »

I quite like edam and brie. Chedder's alright but kinda dull tasting. What's everyone's favourite cheese? I presume those in the continent have a wide variety to choose from.

I have no idea which we have, but I like my cheese as 'young' or light as possible.
I'm not a huge cheese-fan, but I do love it on my italian food, plus I often make grilled cheese-ham sandwiches.

Cheddar is a solid cheese, reliable and good for sandwiches. It's your cheap plonk.

Brie and Stilton are very nice, they're your mid-range plonk :D . I like most cheeses but smoked cheese I remember being pretty minging.

What's the expensive plonk of cheese? Well IMO that would be mozeralla, it's gorgeous hot/melted or cold. It's true the best cheese comes from France or Italy. Like most British food our cheese is functional, and tasty.

Looking through my local supermarket I'd say it's about equal. Try getting cheese in the far east that's always fund :D

Does it somehow taste different then? Blah Blah Blah. You know Cheddar is an English cheese don't you? ;)

They have a weird cheddar in The States which doesn't really taste like cheddar and is red. They call it cheddar though, they have proper cheddar too.

yeah i am. but i don't like cheese much, thinking of trying that "scheese" stuff which is vegan cheese. i don't eat much dairy foods really. i hate milk and never drink it, but i do use it sometimes in food, tho i prefer to use soy milk. i rarely ever eat eggs, tho i don't mind if they are in foods. i could be vegan...except i like milk chocolate too much ;)

oh and we buy the mild cheese, i think its cheddar, i dunno i just know it says "mild" on it :D

Oh how could I forget mozerella and smoked cheese, mmm totally delish.

The Indian have a type of cheese called paneer. It's nothing like western cheese - it's used in curries. Really nice flavour.

I'm totally craving one of those cheese selection bags that you get from the supermarket.

Does anyone like that blue cheese? I find it immensely strong but if it's really mild, it can be quite nice.

Umm... there is of course English Cheddar of various kinds but I'm talking about Scottish Cheddar which AFAIK does have a different taste (and colour).

Ossau-Iraty, a superb cheese from the Pyrénées region.

That's the only kind of cheese I eat.
I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".

I meant Cheddar originates from England. A fact which no one (I'm sure they will) can contest.

As for the different variety of Scottish cheese, are you sure? It looks identical to me. There is yank cheddar and there is cheddar :D . You just don't like the idea you're eating something which comes from that funny place down south called "England" :D

Brad, you are paranoid, and I'm sure Scottish Cheddar IS different to any Cheddar I've seen in England, but as I'm not an expert I won't argue.

Difference is probably negligable at best... might buy English and Scottish chedder next time and judge for myself.

When I worked in the States, we used to sell some Amish chedder, which was really nice - very crumbly and tangy.

Oh btw, I've thought of a cheese that I don't like at all - cottage cheese (yuk).

Cheese should be harder than my knob unless it's in a cheesecake.

Cheese Strings.




Red Leicester was quite a favourite of mine for a long time. But now... I just couldn't care less.

Nah I was just pointing out you couldn't resist adding the Scottish bit. You don't see anyone say "English" Cheddar do you ;)

But it IS Scottish Cheddar.

It's exclusively made IN SCOTLAND.


Sounds like you have an inferiority complex, Brad??

I can't stand cheese unless it's melted and then there's not a huge amount of difference.
