I have had some cheese outside of the deli counter. LordPerrin Send a noteboard - 11/09/2011 02:29:03 AM
Today's topic: Cheese. Favorite? Least favorite? Good? Bad? Useless?

Favourite: a long list including camembert, brie, roquefort, old Gouda and comparable Dutch/Belgian/German/... cheeses, and many others.
Least favourite: not sure I have any.
I'll start with that cheddar is the best cheese of all time.

Hardly. Good cheddar is nice enough, but the cheaper kinds are somewhat hit and miss in my experience - and in any case I think there are tons of cheeses that are a lot better. In the US you almost need a specialized shop to encounter anything other than cheddar and "Swiss cheese", though, in my experience at least. No wonder people start thinking cheddar is the best cheese, if it's essentially the only cheese...


Good cheddar, real fresh mozzarella, Gouda, etc. And what do you propose is the best cheese, and why (assuming you had to pick one).
I'm not strange. I'm normal. Everyone else is strange.
Oosta!
Never underestimate the power of the nerd!

Fromage? Good stuff. Though you can't really get it too much here. LordPerrin - 10/09/2011 10:08:01 PM 629 Views
Interesting... you have a kind of cheese that is referred to as fromage? Legolas - 10/09/2011 10:11:38 PM 646 Views
I have never in my life seen such a thing. Ghavrel - 11/09/2011 07:37:50 AM 682 Views
Cheddar is okay. What isn't okay is the US doesn't seem to have much of anything else. Legolas - 10/09/2011 10:10:34 PM 804 Views

I am picky about how I have my American Cheese... LadyLorraine - 11/09/2011 03:09:40 AM 633 Views
That's just because American is processed to the point of total consistency. Ghavrel - 11/09/2011 07:36:48 AM 657 Views
if they use the right kind of cheddar properly, I do prefer it LadyLorraine - 11/09/2011 02:48:44 PM 643 Views

When I was in the US, I tried some of that spray on cheese Colonel Logain - 12/09/2011 12:55:29 AM 632 Views
Those are processed, yes. As is "American" cheese. As is most cheese you find in supermarkets. Ghavrel - 12/09/2011 02:21:36 AM 674 Views
