This is a serious question.

Extra-sharp white cheddar, although smoked gouda is a close second.

Should I ask why you want to know, or would I be happier living in ignorance?

Rickey Martin. Hold up, for real? Then I'd have to say goat.

― Mark Richardson, Wednesday, 3 January 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago) link

I like Edam. Mmm, Edam.

― pihkal boy, Wednesday, 3 January 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago) link

Edam is not cheese! 'Tis RUBBER!

My type of question. A really good aged white cheddar can't be beat, but recent discoveries include champignon, which is essentially a thick Brie with mushrooms mixed in, and port salute (I think I have the name right). All well worth eating on their own or with good crackers and a real champagne. Can you tell what I did for New Year's? ;-)

A serious question, huh? Well probably muenster then. A nice, versatile cheese.

― Josh, Wednesday, 3 January 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago) link

I like Havarti, especially when it's got fancy herbs and spices mixed in. But really, you can't go wrong with Mozarella.

― Kathleen, Wednesday, 3 January 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago) link

Port Salut is very nice. But my current favourite cheese is shropshire blue: punchy and bad for you.

― Tom, Wednesday, 3 January 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago) link

lately i can't stop eating fresh mozzerella. mm, mozzerella. oh man i cannot wait to get home SO I CAN EAT MORE.

but the BEST SNACK FOOD EVER award has to go to john macy's cheese sticks, which also have actually DECREASED IN PRICE (by 10 cents/quarter pound) since 1991.

Kraft American Singles Processed Cheese Food (although they're not technically allowed to call it cheese, I will.) But you knew I was going to say that.

mmmmmmmmm, cheese

Tesco have been doing a cheddar with mustard and ale in it which is *gorgeous*, i fear it may be a christmas special however :(

It is part of their "cheese with bits" (i kid you not) range

― carsmilesteve, Wednesday, 3 January 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago) link

The kind that makes tar come out of chickens.

Bzzzzt! Lactose Intolerant!

Stilton. Blue, old and stinky. Water biscuit, late at night with two pint of milk. That said in my top ten of food about six of them would be cheeses.

I feel nothing sorrow for those born lactose intolerant.

― Pete, Thursday, 4 January 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago) link

Also in the Cheese with bits range is a wonderful, wonderful invention. Cheddar with Gin and Lemon. Admittedly there isn't as much gig as a girl might like, but for booze on the move it cannot be beaten.

― Tanya Headon, Thursday, 4 January 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago) link

surely you mean gin not gig tanya, unless you want some useless indie 4 piece playing in yr cheese board, which i assume you don't

― carsmilesteve, Thursday, 4 January 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago) link

I like brie. I'm lame and snobby, I know.

Cheese is inherently evil. It is my opinion that all cheese should be killed at birth.

― Ally C, Tuesday, 13 March 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

i guess that means we have to kill even MORE cows ::sigh:: oh well,... mmmmColbyJAck,..... NUMMY

― Mog, Wednesday, 14 March 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Another vote for Stilton.

And I must note, any eating establisment that claims they serve a sandwich "with cheese" and then when you get the sandwich and it's actually american fucking cheese...well, obviously they deserve to be firebombed. Sorry Kris.

one month passes...

a local scottish one known as swanney.

anyway, i came here looking for the web site

64 slices of american cheese, but i am not having much luck as u can probably tell. It was a music magazine a year or two ago and I would love to find this website to get more information on the lilys who sang "Nanny in Manhattan" if anyone can help me, mail me, it would be of great help!!

cheers

Served fresh, Havarti is great, especially with dill or caraway. On the other hand, the bite of smoked Gouda I just had was great -- it's even better cut up into chunks, somewhat melted, and tossed with pasta and sauce. Cheddar's always a pleasure, too. And my introduction to Gorgonzola at a good Italian restaurant (served in a sauce, over gnocchi) proved very rewarding...

― Phil, Tuesday, 27 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Of all the threads to suddenly revive...

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 27 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

The Gouda made me do it.

― Phil, Tuesday, 27 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Morbier is rather nice. Tomme, emmenthal, chevres, I like those too. What's annoying is that you can hardly get proper brie & camembert in the US since it's all pasteurized.
This reminds me, I was going to ask: if bands were cheese, what would the following be:
the Fall, Daft Punk, Killdozer, June of 44, Le Tigre, Men Without Hats.
Thank you.

― daria gray, Tuesday, 27 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

the Fall

A dry, crumbling cheddar

Daft Punk

Perfectly smooth Brie

Killdozer

American, GAWDAMMIT!

June of 44

Some strange sorta cheese by a tiny Midwestern outfit

Le Tigre

Formerly a body-assaulting bleu cheese, now a calmer but still strong herb cream cheese

Men Without Hats

Canadian Colby, of course. The type that sits in the supermarket and is never quite purchased.
