Cheese that is. I mean look at it, it is orange, it is awesome!

You mean... cheddar, right?
Oh, and swiss ain't too bad either.

Oh come on, Swilatia, you must have cheese in Poland?

To the OP: I have it on reliable authority that American cheese is rubbish. I've not tried it myself, but don't imagine that much can be better than a good mature cheddar. A hit of Stilton and some nice, crumbly Wensleydale is also good.

Cheddar is english.

Thats a pepper.




Let's be honest, American cheese is bland!
if you want cheese with some kind of flavor then u get yourself a nice hunk of Provolone!
And if you don't want much flavor go with some mozzarella!

Greek feta ftw.

Thats a pepper.

That's the whole point.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_marzu :p

That has to be the scariest cheese ever..

It's a bit odd to claim an unqualified 'best cheese'. I mean, it really depends what you use it for. I wouldn't use a cheddar to make a strawberry cheesecake, for example. And I wouldn't use a mascarpone to top a lasagna.
There's just so many kinds of cheeses.

Thats a pepper.

WRONG. It's a capsicum.

Damn Americans.

Also, Dutch cheese is pretty hardcore.

This thread reminds me of a joke I heard after Congress pulled its "freedom fries" stunt.

Did you hear that the French have retaliated to Americans calling French fries "Freedom fries"?
Yeah, they're calling American cheese...American cheese.

;)

You say tomato... I say red pepper.

WRONG. It's a capsicum.

Damn Americans.

Also, Dutch cheese is pretty hardcore.

It is? Hmmm, I must say I haven't ever looked at it like that in these 20 years.

Why in the world do we enjoy eating things with fungus on them? :p

The best cheese I've ever had was some sort of Irish cheddar, Erin Gold I think it was called.

I also enjoy butterkase.

The American cheese I've seen isn't orange...it's more like yellow-ish.

Also, Dutch cheese is pretty hardcore.Young or old? Cows milk or Sheeps milk, or even goats milk?
We've got so many kinds of cheeses it's not even funny..

Ewww.... faux cheeze!

I find the whole milk and dairy products thing in the US extremely disturbing. The US doesn't have anything that's even close to real cheese.

It just ocurred to me that if you were to place that cheese on a piece of white paper and view it by sodium lamp it would virtually disappear.

don't be silly that’s a piece of plastic :p

I say the smoked cheese revolutionary brigade has every nations cheese beat and then some

American cheese comes in a variety of colors from white to beige to yellow to pure orange. Many delis sell at least 2 kinds of American chesses: white and yellow

Ewww.... faux cheeze!Amrrican cheeze, yu no. Velveta sucks.

Is it me, or is this thread cheesy?

What, if I find Casu Marzu disgusting I'm not allowed to do the same for American cheese? Yes, I think American cheese is disgusting.

eeeew

This probably won't top the Sardinian cheese, but it's a local one
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_cheese
Production of Texel sheep cheese, which acquired both its green colour and its distinctive flavour by the addition of an infusion of sheep droppings to the milk, was forbidden on health grounds by the Dutch Keuringsdienst van Waren (Inspectorate for Health Protection and Veterinary Public Health) in the 1930s.

Greek feta ftw.
Feta is delicious.

As is Brie... mmm.... I really hope my parents have some of either when I get home.

LOLZ! But Tillamook is teh bests :fluffle:

I prefer a nice ricotta salata myself... and smoked mozzarella is lovely. I also like queso blanco, and started buying dill havarti a while back when there was idiocy about boycotting Danish cheeses... I like a good roqueforte (sp?) and wax covered cheeses... they're so Gouda that I Edam as often as possible.

(I like Brie too.)

NY and Vermont Cheddar is pretty danged tasty, though.

Dutch cheese FTW:p

I guess so. The type Subway puts on the sandwich is usually more of a pale yellow.

can't beat a nice ripe camembert i reckon. halloumi is great too, only cheese you can barbeque. and cheddar is brilliantly versatile. and i love grilled goats cheese, yummerz! and stilton soaked in port. damnit i'm making myself salivate just thinking about all this

The type Subway puts on the sandwich resembles nothing in flavor so much as a pencil eraser.

Cheese that is. I mean look at it, it is orange, it is awesome!

That's not cheese. It's cheesefood. You aren't supposed to eat it. You're supposed to feed it to your other cheese. If you're eating it yourself, then that's the reason your other cheese is turning green.

That's true.

Greek feta ftw.Now you've got my mouth watering! I could really go for some delicious feta cubes. Or maybe some camambert; but I haven't had that in months!

:confused:

Would it be too cheesy to say I admire your taste in fermented curd?

U PHAIL.

1. American cheese is YELLOW and it taste better then any other cheese in my opinion.

2. Why are we talking about cheese?

That is hands down the most vile and putrid thing I have ever had the misfortune of reading in my life! Ughk....

My favorite cheese is definatly American, however, I would have to say, I like cheedar, Gouda, and swiss, I also like a smelly piece of Casu marzu every once in a while Mmmmmm.

Babybel!! Thank you! I was going insane trying to remember the company.

Mmm...Wisconsin cheese...*drools*

I like yellow American cheese-sliced at the deli- NOT the individually plastic wrapped cheese food oddities.

I also love fresh mozzarella, pecorino-Romano, provolone and gorgonzola.

That is hands down the most vile and putrid thing I have ever had the misfortune of reading in my life! Ughk....

Ah the Sardinians are fucked up ..


--Apparently Casu Marzu isn't even the most disgusting food Sardinians eat. According to a 2004 article in Australian Magazine, that honor goes to 'tordi':

These are small, 10cm-long songbirds that feed on the island's plentiful myrtle berries. They are netted and poached, then served cold, three or four at a time, garnished with myrtle leaves. Their eyes are black, haunting, their necks spindly. They look like a plateful of baby dinosaurs. You are supposed to eat them whole - everything but the beak - in a few crunches.--

Yeah, the French eat those, too, hey're called ortolans, I believe. Something from Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortolan_Bunting):

For centuries, a rite of passage for French gourmets has been the eating of the Ortolan. These tiny birds—captured alive, force-fed, then drowned in Armagnac—were roasted whole and eaten that way, bones and all, while the diner draped his head with a linen napkin to preserve the precious aromas and, some believe, to hide from God.

—The Wine Spectator

A description of eating an ortolan:

You catch the ortolan with a net spread up in the forest canopy. Take it alive. Take it home. Poke out its eyes and put it in a small cage. Force-feed it oats and millet and figs until it has swollen to four times its normal size. Drown it in brandy. Roast it whole, in an oven at high heat, for six to eight minutes. Bring it to the table. Place a cloth—a napkin will do—over your head to hide your cruelty from the sight of God. Put the whole bird into your mouth, with only the beak protruding from your lips. Bite. Put the beak on your plate and begin chewing, gently. You will taste three things: First, the sweetness of the flesh and fat. This is God. Then, the bitterness of the guts will begin to overwhelm you. This is the suffering of Jesus. Finally, as your teeth break the small, delicate bones and they begin to lacerate your gums, you will taste the salt of your own blood, mingling with the richness of the fat and the bitterness of the organs. This is the Holy Spirit, the mystery of the Trinity—three united as one. It is cruel. And beautiful.

that sounds like too much elaborate suffering for me. I never needed to eat anything that "exquisite".

Sounds like shit anyway. I'm not interested.

Me neither, in fact, I rather regret posting that, it's so gross. People who do that should put a napkin over their heads.

I agree. Can you imagine the douchebag sitting and eating with a napkin covering his head? What a sophiticated palate.

I'd have to fight the urge to punch that covered face.
