Pope Joan wrote:What, O global community, are your favorite cheeses?

Based on what I can now easily access, Cabot cheddar from Vermont, a family farm cooperative, is my favorite. It has the desirable cheddar combination of tang and cream.

For a taste which jolts my senses to pleasant attention, salty yet deep and rich, I like Stilton.

Dutch cheeses are rich and nutty but not quite first water.

For a creamy treat, brie is still a winner, although there is a fine Scots variety cured in oatmeal called Camboc or something, but it's made by the accursed MacDonalds.

Fresh parmesan was a pleasant discovery last year.


My all-time favourite is Roche-Baron (the only blue cheese I've ever liked, and I love it).
Other than that, a nice smoked Gubeen is delicious, as is feta and parmesan.
"I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, and as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged on to a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature’s wonders: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that’s when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

A decent cheddar like Applewood. Or brie or Red Leicester or Mozzarella.

All good cheeses.
YES. I have returned.

Yes.

Unless of course it's not OK for a woman to ask for a female to ask for a female officer to carry out body checks. In which case, the answer would be no.

I love cheese! I'll mention on no one else has: leek and morel jack cheese. It is a juicy, creamier jack with the delights flavors of leeks and morel mushrooms.

And that Greek yogurt dish someone mentioned was tzatziki. It is delicious.

I usually buy mature cheddar. slightly more expensive than the usual tesco stuff but i've come to realise it does have a nicer taste.

If i can indulge i enjoy some le Roulete, fruity cheeses, wendsleydale. but i really go for white stilton with fruity stuff in nom nom.

A nice mild gouda is a favorite choice of mine. I also enjoy brie cheese, and a sharp creamy chedder.

When I was a kid there used to be this Wensledale made with port, leading to a pink cheese. I loved it.

I've been trying to find it for the last couple of years with no luck and am starting to think I imagined the whole thing. Has anyone else come across it?

No, he mentioned it was Persian, and, like I said, is called mast-o-khiar, but I may be wrong on the spelling.

It's somewhat similar to tzatziki, but not as thick.

Cheese is a lie. An elaborate hoax perpetrated on us Mid-Atlanticians (actually, Connecticut probably counts as New England now that I come to think of it) by the British, French, and Wisconsinians. I have come to the conclusion that there is in fact no such food, and what we are instead fed is the internal organs of those who have slandered the name of cheese with some food colouring added to make them look white or yellow. That would explain, at least, the taste....

*is dragged away by the Cheese Enforcement Squads for cheese-slanderer processing*
One of many Czardas puppets. I regarded this as my main account upon creating it and for several years thereafter, but these days, that's no longer important.
Death is patient, death is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Death does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I consider neither "whiz" nor "Velveeta" to be "Cheese", more like a processed "cheese-like" product.
