What is your favourite flavor of cheese?

[Deja Q]

I :loveya: parmasean!

It's low fat. Low cal. A lovely consistency in its greated texture. And it tastes even better than anything else on the planet! :9

What say you?

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Mozzarella

fresh, of course

[Patiod]

32. mmm...warm buffalo mozzarella with tomatoes, balsamic

vinegrette, and maybe shitake mushrooms.

There's a little trattoria called "Radicchio" in Philadelphia that serves this, and it's amazing.

[Avalux]

2. Feta

I love it - perfect on salads. :hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

3. White cheddar

Not overly exotic.

[GOPisEvil]

4. Baby Swiss or Emmental or Jarlsberg.

But I like just about any kind of cheese.

[Reverend_Smitty]

5. thats a toughy

I really enjoy a cheddar or Monterey Jack, but there is nothing quite like a good slice of provolone on a sub. So I can't choose

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. triple creme St Andre-a cholesterol highball

but so delicious....

[MN ChimpH8R]

23. If you like St. Andre

try Epoisses, a wonderful Burgundian rind cheese (think Brie) that is washed with the local Marc de Bourgogne brandy. It smells just like feet, but is absolutely delicious (and does not taste like it smells), esp with a glass of distinguished Burgundy and a baguette. Cheese heaven! :9 :9

[Lilyhoney]

7. Well, I don't know if it is the dogs favorite,

but I just walked in the room to find the dog eating the wedge of Asiago that I left out last night. Judging by the way he is licking his lips, I will sy he likes it alot.

[merh]

8. Sharp Cheddar!

:9 :9

[Cocoa]

16. seconded

:yum:

[merh]

19. Hey Cocoa

:pals:

Sharp Cheddar on everything imaginable! Crackers, straight up, bread, chicken, tuna, you name it and sharp cheddar makes it better. :9

[benburch]

42. Tillamook EXTRA sharp white chedder, to be exact.

So dry it crumbles. So sharp you can cut yourself.

[Squatch]

9. Raclette or Morbier

When I'm in the mood, Limberger.

Not a big fan of cheddar or American "cheese"

[mac56]

10. Wensleydale, of course!

Second choice: parmesano-reggiano.

[kick-ass-bob]

11. Cheddarella!!

:P

[scarlet_owl]

12. Gouda.

[andyhappy]

13. cambozola

Smooth, creamy bree with streaks of blue and a mild, blue flavour.

[arwalden]

14. Blue. Gorgonzola, Swiss

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Old Amsterdam

[Wapsie B]

17. Swiss

[The empressof all]

18. I confess......

I am a cheese-aholic.


We've already eaten through half of Italy and Ireland. I'm preparing for August's purchase. Any suggestions?

[Squatch]

22. Me, too...although more so in the winter than summer

1. Morbier
2. Raclette

[The empressof all]

25. Both are wonderful

We just finished a Burrata yesterday. God that was sinful. We paired it with a salad of tomato and fresh basil.

Given the events of the day, I'm opening an Irish Whisky flavored Cheddar tonight.

[Squatch]

28. Another source, if you're into Spanish cheeses and tapas...

La Tienda

Not a fan of cheddars, but give me Stilton any day.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

20. Goat

Without hesitation -- I don't eat it that often, but when I do, oh mama...

Yummy yummy goat cheese...

[GalleryGod]

[El Fuego]

26. Brie.

[PollyH]

27. Cheese

Pepper Jack and Brie. Well, Feta and crumbled Blue Cheese --- then Havarti and.....I think I like cheese --- all of it, all of it.

[RPM]

29. Chese is Murder!!!

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE COWS - with their bulbous udders being sucked dry of mike thrice daily by means of cold metal attachments to their teets?

Shame on you all for eating cheese :crazy:

[Telly Savalas]

33. It is murder.

Rennet is an essential ingredient in cheese making. It's an enzyme that coagulates milk proteins, thus setting the curd.
....
But what's all this got to do with vegetarian ethics? The answer is that most cheese manufacturers use a rennet derived from the fourth, or true stomach of a milk-fed calf. Every year, millions of calves endure terribly inhumane factory farm conditions for their short lives, before being executed in ghastly slaughterhouses for their tender flesh.

http://kurma.net/essays/e6.html

So why hasn't the PETA crowd come along to hijack this thread? Is it because they eat cheese themselves?

[Telly Savalas]

35. Is it too soon for me to do that "crickets chirping" thing?

[Telly Savalas]

36. Chirp. Chirp.

[Telly Savalas]

39. Goddamn. Am I gonna have to dress up as the San Diego chicken...

and accuse every person who posted in this thread of being a murderer, or is somebody from the large contingent of animal rights activists at DU gonna step in to help?

[Telly Savalas]

41. Unfuckingbelievable.

Not a single peep from the animal rights crowd. They must eat cheese.

[progmom]

43. is that true?

:puke:

[Telly Savalas]

44. Yes, but there are cruelty free options

This link has more info.

Although, unless the cheese is specifically marked as vegetarian or rennet-free, you can be pretty sure that a calf living in factory farm conditions was slaughtered to make the cheese. (Not to mention the likelihood that the dairy cows involved spent most of their shortened life confined in pens.)

So I'm pretty baffled by the double-standard whereby this thread is spared PETA hijacking whereas other ones weren't, especially in light of the fact that cheese isn't the only animal product where cruelty free options exist.

By the way as a barbaric carnivore, I'd have to agree with the OP about Parmasean.

[Deja Q]

38. You really know how to turn a guy on, don't you?

:rofl:

[datasuspect]

30. formaggi di culo

[fudge stripe cookays]

31. Havarti with Jalapeno....YUM!

Has sort of nutty sweetness to it, nice and soft.

As I said, "YUM!"
FSC

PS- Brie a close second.

[SarahB]

34. Monterey Jack

Although I should say Gorgonzola. :P

[Mutley]

37. Meunster and Cheddar

But I have to say I watched that new show on the Science Channel called "How It's Made" and they had a segment on how cheese is made. Now I already knew that cheese is basically curdled milk, but actually seeing it on TV like that kind of grossed me out. It might be awhile before I can eat cheese again without thinking of that.

[chaska]

40. That stuff the comes in the mac and cheese box

[wideopen]

45. Habanero jack, maytag blue, and smoked gouda

Damn I love cheese.

[truthbetold]

46. Provolone.

Yes, I'm boring.
But hey, nothing else seems to fit a sub quite as well.

[MediumBrownDog]

47. Maroille... the stinkiest French cheese ever.

It's soft, has a salt washed rind, and smells like feet. :9 I adore it.

[CitrusLib]

48. Havarti!

[yellowdogintexas]

49. for just plain snacking: Colby/Jack Marble cheese

cheddar is wonderful
cream cheese is versatile
mascarpone is sinfully rich
blue cheese in a vinegarette is the best salad dressing

full fat mozerella makes a pizza fabulous

[lildreamer316]

51. Brie!!

[donheld]
