Your Favourite Cheese

[thenumberthirteen]

Simple. What is your favourite type of cheese? It is a simple food, but has been perfected over the millennia into a varied, and delicious foodstuff.

I know there are a lot of Americans on the boards, and the USA has a reputation for being, shall we say, lacking in appreciation for cheese. Is this reputation deserved?

My favourite cheese is Wensleydale, and I prefer to eat it on a cracker with butter, or on a slice of fruit cake if I'm feeling decadent.

So which is your favourite cheese, and how do you like it?

EDIT: In fact I'm getting some cheese on cake right now

EDIT the Second: Someone's eaten all the fruit cake

Cheddar.
I love Cheddar.]
Mostly as a Grilled Cheese(Totality original, i know)
Monterey Jack is a close second.
i love it on Chicken quesadilla's.

Pepperjack..because it's so damn spicy for a cheese.

 

[Omikron009]

I like jarlsberg. So delicious.

 

[Liam1390]

I really like Cahill's Irish porter cheddar cheese.

Pepperjack. I'm a dairy manager and the consensus is Pepperjack is the general publics favorite as well. I sell more of that cheese than any other.

So I take it you have some professional knowledge on the subject. Do you find that America doesn't take cheese as seriously as in Europe? By which I mean that there is not a widespread selection of non-mass produced cheeses available.

The general view of the USA is that everywhere sells tasteless artificial factory cheese, and that there is not much variety outside of specialist shops (in a similar vein to the perception of American beer).

I'm a fan of swiss or pepper jack. Swiss goes great on any sandwich, and pepper jack goes good on any burger.

i fancy the Brie cheese. You know the yellow creamy one with a white shell?

 

[Wadders]

I like jarlsberg. So delicious.

Fuck Aye.

Thats the stuff of Gods. It's fucking lush with McVities digestive biscuits and a nice crunchy apple.

I like goats cheese too, its great in recepies. Not sure of specific names though.

Also that smoked cheese that comes in little sausage type things is really nice.

 

[Skizle]

Provolone, It just tastes better than most white cheeses.

 

[BaronVH]

'Tis true we Americans have a lack of appreciation for good cheese, but not this one. My favorites are Saint Andre, Stilton, basic Goat, Feta (imported only), and a really strong Bleu.

 

[Regiment]

Cheddar and Edam.

I know there's such a thing as Cheddam; I should look some up.

(And Edam gets cool points because the Mythbusters proved it makes a fine cannonball.)

 

[Ridonculous_Ninja]

7 pool All in Zergling rush or a cannon rush.

Wait...

OT: Fruilano is the kind my family always buys. I happen to be lactose intolerant though so I haven't exactly had much in the past few years since we found out.

 

[halfeclipse]

Stilton, Appledore, Cheshire, Y Fenni, Edam, Limburger, Havarti, Rochefort, Passendal, Dragon's Breath Blue, the list goes on and on.

Yea I like my cheese.

 

[blankedboy]

Hmm...

Brie, probably. Edam, Havarti and Cheddar aren't far behind.

 

[soapyshooter]

pepper jack.

 

[ultrachicken]

Mozzarella and cheddar.

I'm hungry now

 

[Sir Kemper]

This thread.... is epic.

Anyway, i don't useually pay attention to what type, useually i'll enjoy any cheese, especially if it's melted... mmmmmhhhh... melted cheese.

 

[CINN4M0N]

Edam! It's the only cheese that's made backwards!

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

Pepperjack..because it's so damn spicy for a cheese.

This. It's pretty much the only cheese I really love by itself.
