Cheese

[Tommy]

It's the best. What's your favourite kind of cheese? 

 

 

I love everything. From a nice Feta, to goat cheese, Parmesan or a nice stinky Gorgonzola...

[Cicero]

Gouda and goat cheese 

[...Dan]

Goat's cheese is so good 

[Stan]

Fucking love cheese. 

Love a good cheeseboard with nice selection of cheese (duh), crackers, grapes and chutneys. Maybe some wine too. 

Really enjoy a good mature cheddar. Also taken a liking to moderately spicy cheeses recently. 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Burrata is great

[Eco]

Absolutely love cheese, but can't eat most of it. 

There is a cheese here that has some kind of crystals in it and still a form of American cheese. It's the best I've ever had. 

Munster is also class. 

[Harry]

Gooey blue cheeses

Goat cheeses, particularly the ashes chevre

Soft bries

Bocconcini blobs

Hard matured cheeses.

All amazing but I prefer them probably in that order.

Parmesan is essential also. Particularly shaved and served on top of pasta or risotto.

 

[Stan]

One thing I don't like is blue cheese/really smelly cheeses. 

Ordered a pizza once with roquefort cheese on it not knowing it was a blue cheese and I had that taste in my mouth for ages.

The same as @Stan, I fucking love my cheese and the wife will always buy the one shown below and we both love it, seriously strong and the wife will use it a lot when she is making  spaghetti bolognese or wee Kaidens calls it 'Grannies Macaroni with cheese sauce' he loves it and so do we all, if ever I get heartburn then all I will do is brake off some cheese and suck and chew away and my heartburn will just disappear .

Oh, and I made my favourites this morning for breakfast 4 cheese toasties in the sandwich toaster with the cheese in my previous post, another good cheese is Red Leicester.

Red Leicester is great for cheese on toast (as is Cathedral) or cheese on crumpets.

Aye, the wife will always go for Red Leicester if the other is not handy, Cathedral is good too but really any cheese is good.

Love good cheese; especially alongside good whisky.

Prefer sheep cheese, goat cheese, feta and aged hard cheeses mostly. Pecorino, Gouda, Grana Padano, Gruyére, Parmigiano, Asiago. Enjoy blue cheeses every once in a while as well but it's certainly an acquired taste... 

But anyway; some hard cheese, some blue cheese, some goat cheese, maybe some cold cuts too. When I make a charcuterie board myself, I usually go for 2-3 different sorts of cheese and 2-3 different sorts of meats. Then a lot of olives, preferably green and kalamata. Some bruschetta, some lightly grilled slices of focaccia with a drizzle of olive oil. And a bottle of good single malt. Perfection.

Are these two not the same?

Yes and no... Original Feta is sheep (or sheep/goat) cheese, but not all sheep cheeses are feta. If that makes sense haha. Like, Pecorino is also sheep cheese, but it's hard and not brined like Feta etc.

Yep.

Manchego is a sheep's cheese...it's certainly not the same as Feta.

Ditto, just made myself a lovely Scottish Cheese Toastie.

Can’t stand the stuff, rancid stuff. 

I can handle it on pizza but that’s about it. 

[Inverted]

I love to make a salad with beetroot, spinach and walnuts with some good blue cheese. Preferably something crumbly like stilton.

Feta also works. 

[Lucas]

One of my biggest vices is fried, melted Cheese.

If I ever go out for a meal and see Mozzarella Dippers or Jalepeno Poppers it's game over, I'm sold. 

And if it's not that, most likely it'll be a hot, gooey Camembert with pickle and something to dip in.

At home, I always have Applewood. Smokey, creamy chedder. My favourite, especially with pate on uncut bread.

A few days ago I witnessed someone eating a Pizza without cheese. That shit looked weird. He didn't even do it for vegan purposes... he just doesn't like cheese.

I actually don't mind it. I usually like cheese on a pizza (unless they use cheap cheese which is rubbery and chewy; or if they use too much) but sometimes I enjoy one without it for a lighter snack...
