I think we need a national cheese in canuck land, something to go with the national cookie/biscuit......since we cannot dunk cheese, hows about the best cheese for glowing in da dark, any particular favorites for cheese kabobs??

RE: canuck national chees

I like cheddar. Not those bland blocks that you buy at Superstore, but the stuff you get at specialty shops that's so sharp it takes your breath away.

There is a very sharp cheddar

called "Old Rat Trap" that might be the one you're looking for Rev. but I haven't seen it for a few years.

For a Canadian cheese I would pick an aged, sharp, Cheddar, preferrably without the food colouring. I've forgotten the dopey reasons we have to have food colour in our cheese.

I agree with peppy 8O

You can't have Cheddar as your national cheese - Cheddar is in somerset, ENGLAND.

Get your own cheese. What's that stuff you guys melt called? Poutine, or something? Is that cheesy? Have that one.

Right Henry

We have to call it something else. I like our Canadian cheddar but we have to put another name on it. There are a few cheddar like cheeses out there. Meanwhile here's a look at a bunch of different cheeses:

Ah,the taste of medium Cheddar on a crisp biscuit! Does it get any better? Everybody remembers The Cheese Shop skit by Monty Python..there is no cheese at all in Britain :)

Cool site, #jaun - I like cheesy things. (That's probably what attracted me to this board, innit, p? :p )

Incidentally - I noticed Cheshire on that list - my local cheese (I live in what was once Cheshire), and England's oldest. Damned tasty it is, too. 8)

Thanks peapod

We will definitely get there. Courtney is only an hour away.

Somebody mentioned Kraft Dinner cheese. Has that stuff ever been near a cow? I have, and still do occasionally use Kraft Dinner but I always throw in a double handful of aged cheddar cheese. When I was going to UBC I lived on junk like that.
