It's 3 PM Tuesday here and I am sitting at my computer paying a few bills checking investments and nibbling on pieces of Gouda with a glass of Riesling wine. Oh Boy do I ever love cheese, all kinds. I like a cheddar that is so sharp it will make your eyes water and you salivate like a dog in heat. Hard cheeses, soft cheeses, smelly cheeses. moldy cheeses. I love em all. What do you folks like? Give me some ideas. When I was a kid my mother would put melted cheese on veggies that I did not like. No problem today however since I like all veggies cept rutabagga.
 

Gouda is very gooda -- especially with wina.

I like a nice Greek salad with lots of feta cheese and calamata black olives.
 
I too like cheese, but haven't experienced as many different ones as you. First time I realized there was something to cheese and how it affects your body was when I was about 24. Our supervisor came around and handed me an 8 inch cube cardboard box with 5 different flavors of cheese and said, 'Merry Xmas here's your bonus'. I was living alone at the time, hadn't had time to go grocery shopping so I dined on the 5 lbs of cheese over the next week or so. I suffered for days before any relief came.

No Cookie this is neither a poem or entry in my diary.

Constipation?
 
Ohhh I so love cheese also. Especially Fontina with figs and almonds...Brie baked with pureed apricots and a pastry crust. Spinach with feta and grated Italian cheeses in puff pastry. Sharp, sharp cheese with apple or pear slices. I could even eat chunks of grating cheeses. I mostly buy low fat cheeses now...and pretend. :cry:

I know.. there are fat free cheeses that I get at Whole Foods.. Not the same.. but I pretend.
 
And no joke either..... so much cheese will really do a number on the plumbing. I think many others must have had a similar version of that experience. That's why the fruit, grapes for example and of course a bit of vino to wash it down, and maybe a cracker or two.
 
I don't like the strong cheese, my favorite cheese is Danish Cream Havarti, then Gouda, American/cheddar, cream cheese, etc. Grated cheeses over pasta are good too like Parmesan/Romano. Too much cheese in one sitting or in one week, will usually bind you up.
 
I was going hot and heavy on sharp cheddar...until I realized it was the cause of my migraine headaches. Bummer.
 
I like good ol' mac and cheese made with cheddar. I also make a Finnish dish called Kukkakaalialaatikko (yeah, I just call it "the Finnish dish"). The main ingredients are rye bread cubes, flat beer, cauliflower and sharp cheddar cheese. It is delicious. I love all cheeses but I have to go easy on it as it aggravates the acid reflux. :(
 
There are a lot of excellent Scottish cheeses, mainly made by small producers. I especially like the blue veined cheeses such as 'Strathdon Blue', Badentoy blue' and the wonderfully named 'Blue Murder', but I'll happily try almost any cheese.

Whoa! Steady on Lon.
I do like cheeses, but not as much as you do.;) cheese on toast ( grilled cheese) is very yummy, then spread with mustard and spring onions.
 
Favourite English cheese are: Wensleydale, mild, crumbly and creamy, white in colour.
Cheddar, all of them, mild, medium and mature, yellow and slices easily.
Double Gloucester, pale orange, mild-ish and slightly nutty flavoured.
Red Leicester, stronger flavour, bright orangey red cheese.
 
I love Swiss Cheese... Before I discovered my high cholesterol, hubby and I could buy a block of Swiss and sit and watch TV passing that block back and forth between us.. Not any longer.. If I have cheese now, it's eaten sparingly and rarely.
