Favorite Cheese.

[Avro]

Blue and Havarti are my favs.

just bought some provolone today, goes good with salami and crusty rolls.

I like just about all cheeses but my favorite is probably Cheddar. I like
just about all Cheddar as long as it isn't Craft slices or Cheese Whiz.
The best Cheddar is old "Rat Trap".

Rat Trap Cheddar

North American cheeses are of far inferior quality than their European counterparts. In North America, most cheese is the liquid stuff which you get in a tube like a toothpaste tube that you squeeze onto a hamburger. Not like the fine, high quality stuff you get in Britain, in which there are hundreds of varieties to choose from, such as Stinking Bishop which, if you ate some, you'd discover why it has such a name.

Coming from Britain, the country which gave the world the fine Cheddar cheese, the thought of turning it into a yellow gunge like "Cheese Whizz" that you squeeze onto a hamburger just fills me with absoloute horror.

Have you ever been to North America? I've never eaten cheese in a tube like toothpaste. But then again, you might be confused by the concept of toothpaste.

I'm going to pick a dessert cheese, marscapone. The main ingredient in tiramisu, and why it is possibly the greatest thing ever.

Blackleaf you are treading on thin ice here. There may be some kind of cheese sold in a tube but I've never seen it.

I will be the first to admit that the bulk of cheeses in Canada are imported European varieties that are manufactured
in this country. Granted there are a few cheeses that are imported, but this country has a very healthy dairy industry
that produces many fine cheeses and milk products.

lol... this is so ludicrous. GIve me a call next time you're in Edmonton and I'll tour you around the cheese shops.

Give Blackleaf his due English Stilton, Churchmouse, 5 County, Double Glousceter and others are excellent. Then again you can say that about pretty much any European country's premier offerings.
And yes I agree cheese in an aerosol can, tube or slices deserve the label "Processed cheese food" should also have a warning "eat at your own peril"

I'm surprised there is no one extolling the virtues of Limberger cheese. :lol:

I've never had a chance to try it. My family tends to be somewhat fond of blue cheeses and pungent swiss style cheeses, so I'd give it a whirl. I'm curious if it's one of those cases of 'please don't judge it by the smell.' lol

I was being a little facetious. There are very few foods that I don't like, but one time I took a whiff (never actually tasted it) of Limberger Cheese and the stench was enough to knock a maggot off a gut wagon. :lol:

 

[weaselwords]

I remember my old man sitting in the kitchen going thru a brick of Limberger and a loaf of east European Pumpernickel (the damp stuff), we couldn't go into the kitchen or get anywhere near him for three days. I think he did it purposely to keep the wife & kids from bothering him

This has to be the cheesiest topic on here with the cheesiest comments.

I know I put old chedder on my burgers. I've never even seen the stuff in a tube you are referring to.

Is there any other country in the world that has produced as many cheeses as Britain?

My brother and sister-in-law are fans of odd cheeses. They once bought some really intense cheese at the gourmet cheese shop in Toronto, then took the train back to Kingston...they noticed that other people on the train moved away to other seats...as they realized, because of the smell of the cheese in their carry on luggage.

Glad you didn't say 'good cheeses', as the good cheeses tend to come from other places. Monty Python aside, of course.

 

[TenPenny]

Yes, indeed. I found the Winter Palace was lovely.

 

[karrie]

I'm not even sure what to DO with that. Is that spam? lol.

anybody remember this old cheesy routine:
