Cheese appreciation thread.

Stilton is too good.

My favourite meal/snack with cheese involved though, is brie + fried mushrooms + your favourite ham on ciabatta

Probably up until the age of 19 did I only realise not everyone puts cheese in scrambled eggs. I remember a girlfriend made me scrambled eggs and I said "you forgot to put the cheese in"... it was of course met with a look of disgust.

Do you mean omelette?

Game over.

I get through this so easily, delicious!

[Leicfox]

Looks like salami cheese. I'd love that is it was.

I really want to have a crack at making my own cheese (yeah yeah! hilarious ). I`v made yogurt before (unbelievably easy) but not cheese.

Gonna "youtube up" and do it this weekend.

No scrambled eggs. Cheese & Chorizo scrambled eggs are mind blowing.

That sounds soooo good (will add finely chopped shallots and mushrooms)

Just having a little nibble on some of this. Delightful.

Fair play, Sir... a great choice of cheese. Although it has to be said they have wasted some money in making it an easy close pack. Just easy open would do....

Went to a cheese and wine festival on Saturday. Bought myself an excellent creamy blue Welsh cheese (all gone) and a huge chunk of 24 month old Comte (largely gone). Awesome stuff. The missus also bought some nice French goat cheese but that somehow mysterious disappeared between Saturday and last night...

Oh, an while I remember, the Blacksticks Premier Cru in the posh Sainsbury's cheese selection is beyond awesome. I'd eat that shit morning, noon and night if I could.

I've also been eating a lot of Manchego recently - we have a friend who's lactose intolerant but can eat sheep cheese. A harder choice but delicious nonetheless.

I'd say, in summary, any creamy blue cheese (awaits the inevitable) is currently my favourite but a good Comte is a good staple of any cheese selection.

Now, onto the other essential parts of the cheese experience - crackers and chutney. I'm a huge fan of a simple caramelised red onion chutney. Delicious. As for crackers you can't go wrong with a Carre's Cheese Melt (cheese on cheese, winner) and the poppy seed and sesame cracker. Of course the humble Jacob's Cream Cracker is always in my collection. I'm not a huge fan of oat cakes but did have an incredible box the other week. I can't remember the name though so this is largely redundant. It wasn't Nairn's.

This post really has escalated. I love cheese.

[SystonFox]

Mexicana jalapeño cheese for me.

Or really strong cathedral city.

Jesus Christ alexi you are the cheese king of the forum. I can imagine you look down on me and my cathedral city

Nope, not salami. It's a soft(ish) cheddar laced with a blend of port and brandy (which is gives it the pink appearance).

know what you mean about the premier cru,soft blue isn't it.Doncelatte is a favourite of mine and I love a stinky stinky strong Brie,you know one that stinks the room out when you open the fridge.When I'm in France in the summer it's always my mission to get the strongest Brie.Perhaps FIF could help me out(again) as we could meet up in Aug/ Sept when im very near him for my Hols,like that tang on the roof of the mouth.You would never guess I'm big boned !food is my specialised subject.

I'm just a massive ponce. Plus I'm lucky in that there's always a billion food markets in London that always have a cheese stall or two to sample. I'll never turn down a good strong cheddar though! And I fucking love Mexicana. It makes cracking cheese on toast.

My sister lives in Italy. I should have exploited this last time I went to see her! I'll get her to bring some Doncelatte back for the Christmas cheese board.

Byron Burger are doing a limited edition Roquefort burger. I had it last week. Magnificent it were.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Seriously Strong is a very tasty mainstream cheddar. I love a proper vintage cheddar, the crumblier/saltier/dustier the better.

I also love Applewood smoked, melted double Gloucester, a good Red Leicester - pretty much any cheese besides Swiss, goat/sheep and blue cheeses (which I don't usually mind in small quantities or as part of a sauce)

Mexicana jalapeño cheese for me.

Hell yes! Asda's extra hot Mexicana is fantastic - and makes a mean toastie

[FoxesAreBlue]

Had some from that European market in town the other week.

The red Leicester with red and green peppers in was beaut.

A was the red wine flavoured cheese.

But the ****ing curry flavour was the absolute mutts nuts. Even if it looked gross!

[Trav Le Bleu]

Shropshire Blue is very nice too. Like Kokopops I like trying "new" cheeses. It's like cheese Russian roullette.

I'll tell you what isn't cheese though. Feta - that's baby sick.

[flowwolf]

Just a thought but is this thread therapy to releive tension before saturdays game ?

Was just about to throw some Shropshire blue into the mix, great cheese, also like a bit of Binham Blue very nice.

[Carl the Llama]

I'm a cheesy philistine. Anything slightly runny or pongy and I'm out of there sharpish.

[Alexikokopops]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has its merits - one of my ex girlfriends didn't like cheese (I have no idea how that lasted 11 months) and this was all she would eat. Personally I'm not a huge fan though. I won't say no of course. It is, after all, cheese.

[Guest MattP]

In any form or just lumps of it?

Any form, the sight of it makes me cringe.

Pizza?

Nope, never eaten one.

Sorry Trav you are totally incorrect, salty, crumbly.Love a nice Greek salad with some balsamic on it.

Surprised at that, especially as there are so many different types, tastes, textures and smells, anyway at least Oz will be happy.

As for pizza, I know others who are scared of cheese, and they do eat pizza but have to ask for a pizza without cheese, most places will do it, although without melted gooey cheese all over it, it is just a massive open sandwich.

That's like having a pie without a filling, pointless
