What's Your Favourite Cheese?

I hear that's illegal and hard to find. Anyone who tried that only has their self to blame.

I didn't try it, it smelled too much like ammonia to be appetizing.

At least it was visually...interesting.

I saw that Bizarre Foods guy Andrew Zimmern try that. Said it made his eyes water and throat burn it was so ammoniated. The guy who made it was fascinating. Lived in a shack and made cheese. He had wheels of cheese all over the place, heated the place with an open fire which imparted additional flavor to everything.

I don't think I could try it either. Never had a cheese I didn't like, and I wouldn't even attempt that one.

It was a friend of a friend we were visiting in Sardinia and they offered to let us try it. It was just way too overpowering smell-wise. It was almost like bad squid if you have ever smelled that before.

I saw that episode and I jut thought...who is hiking up there paying for that cheese under the table?

a reply to: Atsbhct

It's Sardinia. You either hike up to the maggot cheese cabin for some squiggly treats, or chase sheep in a circle.

a reply to: yeahright

You got that right. If you get off the coast it is nothing but back country. People joke that Sicilians are like Italian rednecks. They have nothing on Sardinians.

a reply to: yeahright

Am I going to rename our woodsy getaway "Maggot Cheese Cabin"? ...yes.

a reply to: Atsbhct

That ought to cut down on the requests to borrow it.

a reply to: yeahright

Exactly.

Edammer, probably. But almost all the cheeses are amazing, as long as they don't taste sweet by themselves.

I love Camamber so much!

if they tax oxygen at some point

Lol don't want to derail the thread but just imagine if oxygen was taxed.

At least we don't have to deal with the homeless issue anymore right?

LOL what a joke this world is.

anyway, anything mexican is awesome. Pepper jack and queso come to mind. Love both on burgers.

Not fond of Fromunder. It's a little too tangy and musky for my taste.
Cheese in a can is the best on hot dogs.

My favorite is cheddar, the sharper the better.

I can peek in my fridge and see Provolone, Swiss, Blue cheese, Havarti with dill, Asiago, parmesan reggiano, American, and mozzarella.
I get cravings for ham & provolone calzones, it melts perfectly. And the havarti with dill is amazing with smoked turkey.

I buy the cheddar in huge blocks so I can shred or cut it the way I want but my daughter keeps eating it.

I think that Nestle wanded to look at taxing oxygen along with water a while back.

Scummy bunch that they are.

On topic, I forgot about this thread and although not my favorite I was given some Wendslydale with caramlised ginger the other day.

It's a crumbly mildish thpe of cheese and the sweetness of the ginger gives it a very rounded, Moorish flavour.

As long as it not American Cheese.

Really dropped the ball there.

Emmental cheese. The best! No doubt about it!
