Your favourite cheese?

Me, of course.

Seriously though, nothing beats a violently strong cheddar. The stuff that makes you shiver and burns the inside of your mouth.

Ohh yeah....

It is impossible to answer this question. My idea of heaven would be a selection of French cheeses with a strong smooth dark tanin-rich red wine. (though there are a couple of English Cheeses that are worthy too)

I simply cannot choose one.

Ah yes... we had a wine and cheese night last year (just an excuse to get ****** more than anything) and it was great. Loads of different cheeses (peach stilton! wonderful - never even heard of it!) and a few bottles of red wine went down a treat.

Best thing was that after some serious drinking that night we locked our mate out at the end of the night (just for a laugh, he went for a fag) and in a drunken stupor he thought he'd try and make his way back into the house through the gardens round the back.

Meanwhile we were sitting in the dark so he thought we'd all gone out so he climbed over the garden at the back, kept going a few houses along through the gardens and walked into some random guys house who were sitting quite happily watching a film in the lounge! Needless to say he got ushered out quite angrily - through their FRONT door!! - and came back all cut up and bruised after diving through some serious hedges at the back!

We couldnt stop laughing but understandably the guy looked pretty miffed! LOL.

Cheese Strings, Baby Bell, Kraft Cheese Slice, Primula Cheese Spread............. you know the sort!

Are you by any chance in year 4 at junior school?

Never liked babybells, YUK.

Right. I now decree Mexicana Chedder the Official Cheese of the Youstolemyname household.

Been the boozer, Kebab place shut, toasted two slices of brown bread and whacked a bit of mexicana inbetween. DELICIOUS!

My mouth has the burn and I detect a bit of perspiration!

Mecicana Cheddar, get some and enjoy!

The only cheese that is ok to eat on it's own imo. I HATE cheese..
Has to be melted and on dough, with tomatos and an assortment of meat.

Cheese is cheese for me, doesn't really matter what it is as long as it's not got stuff growing on it

TUT at your terrible mind.
Dairy boy, cheese is gross, as is milk.

I like a really strong Mature Chedder, but at the moment for some reason I am into Philly, can't get enough of the stuff

Alrik · 5 Aug 2006 at 05:22

Red leicester, Jacket potatoe and beans

Nix · 5 Aug 2006 at 06:05

The Canadian chedder is gorgeous.
I hate mild, plastic cheeses.
Processed cheeses are nice melted over something.
Dairylea is sickly.
Mozzerella is just texture, tastes of nothing...

I'm a strong cheese fanboy

KizZ · 5 Aug 2006 at 06:22

Mexican Cheddar and Feta cheese

beh · 5 Aug 2006 at 08:13

Impossible to pick just one so - chaumes, jarlsberg, tasty lancashire, goats cheese, haloumi.

fanger · 5 Aug 2006 at 12:41

Pont L'Eveque - Normandy soft cheese yum.

But for longevity I don't think you can beat a fine english mature cheddar washed down with a good honest glass of somerset cider.

Mozzarella cheese for me, could eat that stuff all day long but id get a stonker of a headache

. Also good ole Canadian cheddar is nice as well, especially the stuff in Canada.

M@rco · 5 Aug 2006 at 13:02

My personal favorites are mozzarella and scamorza but they have to be fresh, ricotta and dolcelatte also have to be up there

Pfft get out the thread now... you don't really like cheese at all do you

Only kidding, if that is what you like then why have anything else. But I must admit I think of that as cheese in the same way as I think of 'mellow birds' as coffee.

Tintern - Welsh matured Cheddar with fresh chives and shallots - Lovely as it is but also amazing in rarebit
Caboc - A soft cheese made from cream-enriched milk with a buttery flavour. Rolled in toasted pinhead oatmeal. Lovely on oatcakes... yummy local cheese.
Sage Derby - Similar to cheddar, flavoured with sage. Used to love this cheese but can't seem to get it up here anywhere...only by mail order

Red Windsor - Cheddar marbled with red wine
Gruyere & Emmental - With a little garlic and wine in a fondue. Lots of fresh crusty bread..... dangit I wish I wasn't on a diet.
Roquefort - Pungent....lovely

Y-Fenni - Cheddar with ale and mustard.

Although you can never go wrong with a good extra mature cheddar - the problem is being able to find one so tangy it hurts

In general though I tend to like all cheeses...just some more than others.
