What kind of Cheese?

[Robert****]

What is your favourite cheese? I love Wallace & Gromit, and since they are Englishmen, they love cheese. So, I found some Stilton cheese in the local store. Wallace & Gromit like Stilton cheese. Well, I do too! It's fabulous! It has these green gobs of yumminess amongst the yellow flavourful cheeziness!

Ahh, what a difference some Stilton cheese does! You gotta try it if you haven't. (Who the heck is Wallace & Gromit? Answer)

Strange post, my friend... I don't think I've ever seen one about cheese before... Put me down as a Pepper Monterey Jack man. But sometimes, you just have to have a nice, sharp cheddar.

Loved the Wallace and Gromit movie. Every once and a while, one of us will say "Cheeeeeeesssseeee, Gromit!" for no good verifiable reason (other than my 9 year old stepdaughter, who gets a kick out of hearing it in my cheesy British accent, pun intended)

I like any cheese that a were-rabbit has not drooled on.

Any cheese is a weak point in my dietary intake. I especially enjoy the jalapeño cheese. Hmmm Hmmm Good!

Stilton!
I also love the danish cheese "gamle ole" but it smells so bad that its hard to store with other foodstuffs. Also, dont put it in your car, the smell will never leave the seats again...
Its hard to describe the taste, but someone described it as having a small nuclear explosion happening in your mouth. Very tasty...

Something that powerful must have it's down fall. In this case the smell. I have smelled a few bad smelling cheeses in my life, but never had what it takes to try them. I figured it they would leave one with a potty mouth that would impact those you talk to plus your dog would stay away also.

I like eating the cheese, but mostly I like cutting the cheese.

Oh yea! That was a good one Ray. I am glad there are many miles between us.

I thought some of our UK Fretters would chime in - isn't eating cheese there a very important thing? Cheeese and Crackers? Anyway, having good cheese is like having a good wine. It's an enjoyable experience. But there are many bland cheeses that don't qualify. Rochefort is another good one, and so is Gorgonzola.

I like grilled cheese

I think it's really all about the tea. Cheese is what happens if you drink too much of it.

Those two are best combined imho

Red wine & Cheese... mmmmmm

Cracklin' Toast Grommit is what we say, but you have to do the hand thingy.

Humboldt Fog is a aged brie-like goat cheese from Northern California (near Arcata Robert) that is spectacular.

[Robert****]

Interesting, I have been to Arcata once, ran a marathon the Red Wood forest there - along the Avenue Of The Giants. Spectacular forest by the way!

I'll be looking for that Humboldt Fog - hope they export to Canada!

For all you serious cheese heads. Please don't go anywhere with me if you are using it.

Saturday, May 13, 2006 Cheesemakers create "Stilton" perfume
LONDON (Reuters) - Some say Britain's pungent blue-veined Stilton cheese smells of old socks. But its fans have turned the rare odor into a perfume.
The Stilton Cheese Makers Association commissioned an aromatics firm to create Eau de Stilton, described on the association's Web site as featuring a "symphony of natural base notes including Yarrow, Angelica seed, Clary Sage and Valerian."
"Blue Stilton cheese has a very distinctive mellow aroma and our perfumier was able to capture the key essence of that scent and recreate it in an unusual but highly wearable perfume," said an association spokesman.
The perfume will be available from www.stiltoncheese.com.

Holy blue cheese veins, Batman! I just bet that's some good stuff...

BTW, the "intuitive" ads at the end of this thread are great.

[SuperSwede]

Another cheaper way of achieving this is to never change socks...

Being an old hillbilly dude, I like a very sharp smoked cheddar with whole wheat crackers and homemade elderberry wine. Also a sharp swiss is very nice, as well as a milder shredded cheddar on top of a two pound taco salad!

I was first introduced to Stilton cheese many years ago on my first trip to London. Being the cheese lover that I am, I took to it instantly. It is so pungent that when I brought some back to our hotel room, I had to put it outside on the window ledge so that we didn't choke on the air in the room....

It takes a pretty bold red wine to drink with Stilton. A very big, bold, complex and fruity Cabernet or Shiraz compliments it well.
