What's your favorite cheese?

[Deja Q]

Poll question: What's your favorite cheese?

:9

[Bombtrack]

1. Not Swiss, that shit is fucking gross

[bigwillq]

2. Mozzarella (nt)

[Beaverhausen]

3. Other: Jarlsburg

[Xipe Totec]

4. Fresco,

then Oaxaca, Chihuahua, Asadero, Manchego.

[poiuytsister]

5. Wensleydale, Gromit

Cracking good cheese

[Poiuyt]

10. :)

[Drum]

6. Other.

There are so very many good cheeses, but I've always liked Morbier.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morbier_(cheese)

[GoneOffShore]

70. I'll second the Morbier

And add in real Muenster from Alsace, with a dusting of cumin seeds.

Every time I hear someone say they like Muenster I ask them if they've ever had the real thing - which bears NO resemblance to "American Muenster".

Real Muenster is runny and wonderfully stinky.

[Drum]

72. I like the smelly cheeses too...

and the way Morbier is made---the morning milk on one side of the ash-layer, the evening's on the other---always struck me as a pretty cool idea!

:hi:

edit: And I would like to add as Honorable Mention: FRESH MOZZARELLA

[grannylib]

7. Aw, c'mon, Swiss can be REALLY good if you do it right! Grilled with ham

on rye, it's great...
But my favorites are Muenster, Edam and Gouda. I do love a lot of stringy yummy melted mozzarella on pizza and whatnot as well :-)

[NC_Nurse]

8. Brie.

[rlev1223]

9. I thought sophisticated people hung around here

Swiss? Cheddar? American?

Go to a real cheese shop and ask for a taste of Epoisses. If it doesn't kill you, it will make you much, much stronger. Best cheese in the world.

Also, for the milder at heart, Ossau-Iraty - a beautifut mild sheep cheese from the Basque region.
Generally available now, can be found at Trader Joe's

A good cheese shop should bowl you over with dairyness the moment you walk in, and the next 5 years will be devoted to
fighting hardened arteries.

[Deja Q]

13. Go into GD and be unpleasantly surprised...

:spray:


I will say this - what's wrong with Asiago? At that much money per pound, it's damn tasty! :9

[Poiuyt]

11. I like Muenster best, but anything from the great state of Wisconsin is fine with me

[poiuytsister]

84. Squeeky curds

It's a Wisconsin thaing! Absolutely fresh cheese, right out of processing, never been refrigerated. Nothing else like it.!

[Poiuyt]

86. Nobody outside of Wisconsin knows what cheese curds are

and what they are missing!

[mainegreen]

12. Depends on what I'm eating it with. I like though gouda, gruyere, manchego and brie.

[blockhead]

14. swiss, bleu, feta

too any good ones

[CatholicEdHead]

15. Pepper Jack

[Redstone]

16. Provolone.

Redstone

[Parche]

78. PROVOLONE

I 2nd your Provolone Redstone!!!!

[GOPisEvil]

17. Emmental, Gouda (smoked!!), Fontina, Manchego...

Just to name a few. :9

[rug]

18. pecorino

[cwydro]

19. Oh dear

I can't choose. I love cheese...any kind. Mozzarella and Asiago are right up there though. And sharp cheddar. I like Swiss. Oh never mind.

[NewWaveChick1981]

20. I like most kinds of cheese....

...:) The only ones I don't like are the ones that are really, really runny.

I Muenster and Havarti are two of my faves. :D

[spiderpig]

53. Me too.

I absolutely love cheese, and consider it a guilty pleasure, since I need to lose another 15 pounds. But I could live on bread and cheese. (With a nice bottle of wine to wash it down!)

[Awsi Dooger]

21. Other, I despise cheese

Easily the worst item known to man. The sight, smell, taste are all unbearable.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Velveeta.

Kidding...

[momophile]

23. comte'

from France.

It's the best I've ever had.

[Left Is Write]

24. Smoked Gouda, Provolone, Swiss, and sharp Cheddar.

[LostInAnomie]

25. Smegma

:rofl:

[donheld]

40. Depends on where it comes from

:evilgrin::rofl:

[RushIsRot]

26. Actually, Very Sharp Cheddar, but

you didn't give me that choice. The sharper, the better.

[Broken_Hero]

27. Sharp Cheddar, :) nt

[stuntcat]

28. Other. Goat Cheese is the best

mmm

[u4ic]

42. That's what I eat

I can't have dairy anymore.

I don't like the chevre, though...I found a very tasty goat brie and also goat gouda. :9 Those are treats, though...fairly expensive.

I mainly eat goat mozza, and goat marbled cheddar. :)

[SKKY]

29. The Manchego I get here in Spain is awesome!

[TheBaldyMan]

30. my local cheese - Lancashire, tangy and crumbly hard cheese

it's a beautiful pale yellow colour and irresistable. Very more-ish.

[XemaSab]

31. Really good, fresh swiss, brie, or parmesan

Yes, you can eat chunks of parmesan if it's GOOD.

[Kali]

32. YES!

well, not goat. But just about anything made from cow's milk.

I tend to like young fresh chese best, but mmmmmcheeeese. I even like velveeta. so sue me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear Hypno....

I like both sharp cheddar and monterey jack!

Other got my vote......

:9

[BlueStorm]

34. Gouda, Swiss, Provolone

Bleu Cheese. But for that tang, I like Extra Sharp Chedder or Colby Jack cheese.

Blue

[Wapsie B]

35. I'll take something nice and sharp

right down the middle. ;-)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

36. Some I love, some I hate

Love: sharp cheddar, Swiss, Gouda, Fontina, Mozzarella, Havarti, Provolone, Ricotta

Hate: Brie (never understood its popularity), Roquefort (don't even like the salad dressing made with it), smoked cheese (smoking is for bacon and ham, not for cheese)

[TreasonousBastard]

37. You can't get it here because...

many of the best cheeses are made with unpasteurized milk and can't be imported from Europe or South America.

But, there's a Canadian double creme goat Brie that's pretty damn good. Don't rmember the name, but I see it at Trader Joe's every so often.

And real Fontina d'Aosta, if you can find it. The real stuff-- pinkish with a beige rind. Not the lame Gouda-like stuff with the red wax. Probably my all-time favorite cheese for all purposes. Great to cook with, melt, or just gob down.

Had a Brazilian food shop across the street from me when I lived in Joisey that had fantastic, and unpronouncable, cheeses they smuggled in.

[leftofthedial]

38. parmigiano reggiano

is pretty hard to do without

[ms liberty]

39. Aged smoked swiss is the food of the gods...

also gouda, bombino, smoked cheddar, NY extra sharp cheddar, colby, provolone, parmesean, romano,....

OK. I love cheese. Almost any kind of cheese.

[QMPMom]

41. Cambozola followed closely by Esrom.

[u4ic]

43. I used to love Cambozola

when I could eat dairy. :9


Hi QMPMom! :hi: It almost feels like...spring! :bounce:(but I've lived here long enough to not get my hopes up too high)

[QMPMom]

44. Hey u4ic! It's wonderful out there, isn't it.

I am loving this spring-like weather, but I refuse to be *too* optimistic until the end of April! :D I am eagerly awaiting my spring trip to Hole's Greenhouse in St. Albert.

[u4ic]

45. And even then...

my nephew's birthday is May 20, and twice in the past decade it's snowed on that day.

I am enjoying the weather tremendously...walking at night, especially around here, can be a bit hazardous...the puddles are deep, and sometimes they're frozen over after dark...and sometimes not.

The other day I stepped in one - call me a human ice breaker - and ended up halfway up my shin in water. x( Those pants will need washing now...

Hole's is THE place to go, isn't it? :) I may scoot over there at some point; I need some more houseplants.

What a shame she died ( both of them of course)...but being as left as you can get (she was a UU) and Lieutenant Governor really helped to inject a little humanity into politics in the province. Not that a$$h@le Klein had any sense of the feeling...or even the word...:grr:

[QMPMom]

55. Lois Hole was one of the nicest women I have ever met.

I was very surprised when Klein appointed her as LG. She was so nice and human compared to his, his....... his assholishness. (Is that even a word???)

I know what you mean about the holes lurking under the ice - and everywhere else around here. Yesterday I told my husband that I was thinking of walking down 111 Ave. and taking video of the craters they call potholes and putting them on You Tube. It might embarrass the powers that be enough to do something about it.

[Cats Against Frist]

46. Essex Street Comte

The most flavorful cheese in the world. Gruyere-like, lovely.

[Qanisqineq]

47. either pepper jack or provolone

I can't decide.

[Cobalt-60]

49. pepper jack here

I buy cheese in 1 pound blocks.
Most are pepper jack. I also buy colby + monterrey jack mixed blocks.

[Polly Hennessey]

82. Cheese

Pepper Jack for me.

[Kutjara]

48. Blue Stilton.

Yumity yum yum!!!

[pinniped]

50. Havarti Dill is the best.

Of course, it depends on the brand.

[fudge stripe cookays]

51. Nope, Havarti with hot peppers!

:9

[IntravenousDemilo]

52. Mine is a nice stinky, veiny Stilton, but...

...any cheese will do. And I really like gouda too, especially the smoked stuff, and extra-especially if it's pronounced right -- the first syllable rhymes with "cow", not "coo".

[Callalily]

54. Being

from Wisconsin, I like just about any kind of cheese, but havarti is right up there. Also, muenster makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches - ohhhh the meltability!

[AllegroRondo]

56. Venezuelan Beaver Cheese

:)

[trof]

57. I like Velveeta and that stuff in the spray can.

yum
:evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

75. !

:spray:

[cmkramer]

58. I love cheese!

If I had to choose, I'd pick sharp cheddar. I also like brie and blue cheese.

[suninvited]

59. Nothing is better than gouda soup !!

[ohiosmith]

60. any but fromunda

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

61. That's like asking me to pick my favorite child.

Cotswold. My favorite cheese is Cotswold.

[BarenakedLady]

62. I love most cheeses

:9

Which is why I'm not a vegan.

[Aristus]

63. Other (but still cheddar) : Irish White Cheddar.

Yummy! :9

[AlCzervik]

64. double gloster layered with blue cheese.

[Rabrrrrrr]

65. Old Amsterdam, Gorgonzola, and a Spanish one that I can't find anywhere

and the name of which I forgot, but it starts with C is fucking awesome good!!

Only place I ever saw it was my cheese vendor in NYC.

[malta blue]

67. Hey - is it Cabrales?

Wrapped in chestnut? I love that stuff!

[Rabrrrrrr]

68. No, that's not it - it ends with a couple letters that don't get pronounced.

The guy at the store tried to teach it to me, but I can't do Spanish. Give me gutteral languages that make sense, that's what I say.

It's like Contradillabor

I'll go see if I can find it on the web.

[Rabrrrrrr]

69. Found it! It's Idiazabal. I knew it started with a "C".

:eyes:

But yes, anyway, I know for sure that's the cheese.

Damned good stuff!

[grasswire]

66. what? no mention of feta on this thread??

In my fridge right now, I have:

parmesan
bleu
feta
Tillamook smoked white cheddar with peppercorns
pepperjack
mild cheddar
monterey jack
manchego
jarlsburg
and a bag of Trader Joe's four-cheese Italian, which is delicious!

Yeah...we eat a lot of cheese.

[toadzilla]

71. Guinness cheese is quite delicious.

and festive!

other than that i prefer goat cheese, or bleu cheese. i keep trying to be vegan, its the cheese that gets me. soy cheese just sucks.

[Z_I_Peevey]

73. Caciocavallo.

Had to look up the spelling. Yum, yum.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

74. Brie

[ceile]

76. St. Andre's triple cream

like buttah!

[azmouse]

77. All cheese is delicious!

<:3)~~~~~

[sarge43]

79. Feta

Love that sharp salty taste and it goes so well with so many things.

[supernova]

80. Blue Cheese!

I love to get my dose of penicillin! My favorite blue is Valdeon. It's so blue it looks positively diseased, but it tastes heavenly!

[mtnester]

81. Jarlsberg swiss

yum

[bikebloke]

83. Gouda

And I pronounce it the Dutch way, through the nasopharnex.

And from Holland. Not that domestic faux crap, where they think red wax makes it gouda.

[Lost-in-FL]

85. Anything "cheese"

at least the ones I have tried.

[Merrick]

87. Boxer
