So, since the last cheese thread got closed, I thought it might be good to get another one started. Hopefully this one can stay on topic. :D

What cheese(s) have you tried, which ones do you enjoy the most, what cheese combinations have you had, and which onese would you be interested in trying at least once.

I've tried Havarti, Gouda (smoked, as well as regular), Colby, Colby-Jack, Cheddar, Swiss, Edam, Butterkäse, and Bleu Cheese. I enjoyed most of them (although I didn't develop a taste for Bleu Cheese, and most Cheddar is sharper than I'd like). As for combinations, Chili-Mac is awesome, and like I said in the other cheese thread, I'd be interested in trying out chocolate cheese fondue.

ate a four-cheese pizza for lunch. and pasta with gorgonzola sauce. yum.

Well, I've tried Edam and Gouda ofcourse. And probably many other dutch cheeses as well. Camembert, Brie and various other French cheeses are nice. Swiss cheese is good. Cheddar, Gorgonzola and ofcourse Parmigiano-Reggiano :D

Oh and some Irish cheese of which I forgot the name :( I like cheese, I like it almost as much as beer.. almost :D

I am surprised such blatant cheese bashing is allowed by the mods.

Mammary fluids. Squeezed from the nipple of a big, stinky mammal. Then allowed to rot until it becomes solid.
And I'm supposed to put this in my mouth.

Hmm, that makes me think. What would the cheese made from the milk of a human woman be like :D

No. It is solidified, and then it is allowed to rot.

I think there's issues with making it - some difference between human milk and farm animal milk.

EDIT: Here you go, it's because there's less protein in breast milk than farm animal milk.

And I found the answer. It turned out that breast milk can not curdle, because the protein content is lower, and because the protein in breast milk is more easily digested compared to cow's milk. That's why, unmodified cow's milk is unsuitable for babies. And on the other hand, adding acid to further 'digest' breastmilk protein won't curdle the milk.

I'm sorry. My mistake. It's still ickygross.

Got it in one.
And, um... I was under the impression that yogurt was eaten with a spoon.

I like Guantanamo cheese sandwiches grilled Waco-style.

Yes, many do. I don't. I don't ingest yogurt. That's why I do not know it is eaten with a spoon. Icky thing, that yogurt.

Indeed it is, crawling with live bacteria. I know they're good bacteria, but still... yuck!

Hey, they're good... but their smell and evil taste makes me say no. I'll just eat my good bacteria from the petri dish.

No cheese? No Yogurt?

Some people are so uncultured. :rolleyes:

Groooooooooooooooooooooooooan.
Although I am proud that I actually got that.

Or the thousand trillion of the little fellas living in and on our bodies. Amusing that's ten times the number of human cells. We're mostly bacteria!

Turns out Cheese isnt nearly as interesting of a topic without inane political nonsence sprinkled in.

Who would've thought?

Let's ask Cheesus for advice:

You liked it. :)

Monterey Jack, cheddar (I prefer it white, extra sharp), colby, brick, camembert, brie, brest-bleu, roquefort, mozzarella (fresher is better), asiago, romano, ricotta, mascarpone, gorgonzola, parmesan, provolone, gruyere, "Swiss", jarlsberg, edam, gouda (smoked, please!), havarti (dill, please!), feta, saganaki, asadero, queso quesadilla, and a few others whose name I can't recall, and no, I don't count "cheese products" and especially not "cheese food" -- I mean, what IS that? The stuff they feed to other cheeses?

Unless you personally irradiate all your food, I guarantee that everything you eat is "crawling with live bacteria."
I like cheese of almost all sorts (but especially Italian cheeses, like Parmesan, Provolone, Mozzarella).
The sole exception from my general adoration of all things cheese is blue cheese (and all similar products). I don't know who it was that first decided to purposefully grow mold on their food, but they really shouldn't have shared their vomit-inducing discovery.

The one thing I've always wondered; How do you know when blue cheese goes bad? :confused:

I don't eat a whole lot of cheese, but I do like herrgård (a Swedish hard cheese), brie, feta and gorgonzola. Especially gorgonzola. Yum!

I'm having macaroni and cheese for dinner right now. :)

I'm currently enjoying a burger. It's beef, bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese mixed together (the local store sells the patties like this sometimes), and I stacked it on a bun with a slice of american cheese, ketchup, and mustard.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, tasty. :D The cheese really does make this relatively ordinary burger something special.
