American cheese sucks.

French cheese rocks!

The more cheese smells like gym socks, the more likely it will be delicious.

"Singles" are not real cheese and furthermore, "singles" embarrass real cheese.

Anything that ends in "z" is not real cheese.

Cheese was not meant to be an aerosol.

Chat!

[cmhaas]

Swiss on sandwiches. Bleu is a must with hot wings.

[0uthouse Cleaner]

Extra cheese pizza ;)

[sadie999]

I would put forth that cheese is just as controversial as Jews.

[rossshow]

Yeah. I can see that. I'm about to move that Jew thread back to chat.

American cheese, albeit fake, melts better for grilled cheese sandwiches.

Velveeta melts the best.

String cheese (mozarella) can be fun.

Sharp cheddar - YUM!!!

Feta - the most exotic that I'll eat.

[sadie999]

'ling is a cheese wimp. :1rotfl1:

[sibs ling]

'ling is more of a meat-and-potatoes kind of gal rather than the fancy dancy stuff that you guys eat.

I don't like complex sauces on food or extravagant meals.

Plain and simple works for me.

I will bring the cheese if you bring the whine! old , stale, joke

This thread has its possibilities. So who likes cheese dawgs?

[sadie999]

fancy dancy

[sadie999]

Not sure what cheese dawgs are, but I like to broil weiners with some cheddar in a slit cut into them and then wrapped in bacon.

It's like injecting cholesterol right into your heart.

Clear!

Peace.

Sadie,
Can we have a cheese singalong?

A hunk of extra sharp cheddar will do ya betta.

With an apple slice, it's twice as nice.

[Emily]

I'm with 'ling - we serve thick slices of american as a side dish ;)

For a while, when I asked the deli ladies to "slice it thick" they just assumed they heard me wrong and sliced it thin anyway. Now they know me and get it right!

Sadie, if you wanna pick on somebody about cheese - pick on Bryant Gumble. I swear he can't be in the same room with the stuff. It's like he has a phobia!

PS as the wife of a dairy farmer I *do* appreciate this thread. Has everyone had their 3 servings today? :D

[toollady]

REAL Provolone, not that stuff found at the deli counter and FRESH Mozzarella swimming in its own juices.

[Eriu]

I love almost all cheeese except maybe the stinky ones.

:1rotfl2:

[rca001]

Yummm, mozzarella made two hours ago, with Jersey tomatoes picked from the vine about 10 minutes later. That's what I had for lunch yesterday. (well, okay, the mozzarella was made 26 hours ago, but you know what I mean)

In a bowl, make a balsamic vinegar and olive oil vinagrette and add dried (or fresh) chopped basil, parsley and cilantro, S&P to taste. Set aside. Slice tomatoes and sweet (preferrably Vidalia) onions. Add blue cheese crumbles. Toss with vinagrette.

Enjoy.

[Powerhouse]

I'm an Extra Sharp Chedder type. I think it goes well with just about anything. But I also indulge in most other cheeses types - except limburger.

[newslady]

Sharp white cheddar is da bombdiggity too!

That ^^ sounds yummy.

Of course, I'd have to replace the onions with onion powder and eliminate the blue cheese (atleast for the first time).

Maybe I'll put my toes on the fancy dancy line and try this.

I grew up in Downey, So. Calif.

There was this Italian market.....Sal's Market. My dad would go in there to get wine and cold cuts. He would always get me this big hunk of string cheese, not the kind sold in stores here, but REAL Italian string cheese.

This stuff was stringy alright. You would start tearing it into strips, and it would pull apart into fine threads. GOD that stuff was good. I would take my time and pull it apart bit by bit.

I've never been able to find string cheese like that again.

:1tantrum:

[larruone]

Cheese.... If I weren't so cheap, I could spend BIG BUCKS on the stuff!

Kraft Extra Sharp Cheddar is my affordable indulgence, but I haven't
met a cheese I didn't like.

One of my favorite flavors is extra sharp cheddar and fresh onion slice.
Dunno why, but it is really good!

[rossshow]

There was a little german deli, I used to eat there all the time, like around 3rd street? In Downey.

[sadie999]

The Marin French Cheese Company (http://www.marinfrenchcheese.com/home.html) makes some of the best brie and camembert I've ever tasted (in my limited experience).

Used to be $1.86 for a quarter pound. Add a (then) 30cent french roll and for a little over two dollars, I had dinner. :) Last time I looked online, I think to have it delivered here, I'd have to skip a mortgage payment. (Slight exaggeration.)

There's a deli in Hoboken called Fiore's that is without a doubt the best source for fresh mozzarella (pronounced somewhere between mutz and mootz - maybe muhtz?). Not cheap and don't go at lunch unless you don't mind long lines. Better bring cash because that's all they take.

I'm getting hungry.

Peace.

[newslady]

I like to slice a piece of extra sharp cheddar and take a Klaussen's baby dill out of the jar. Take a bite of cheese, then pickle. Yum.

[Monique Renee]

Throw in some summer sausage, and you're in business, Newslady!

[kim]

yesterday i ate oysters and cheese on saltine crackers...

[Heartland]

Colby Jack and Lorraine Swiss are my favorites. I can't eat yellow American cheese. I do like white American, but only Land o' Lakes. I don't like "cheese food" whatever the hell that is, like Velveeta and Kraft slices. Ick.

Swiss melts really well.

I'm a cheese sissy too. I don't like stinky cheeses. But I love the cheese I like!

Hard cheese is less fattening than soft cheese, so cheddar is a good one.

Oh yeah!

[Kiheicat]

Warm baked brie with crusty French bread ... mmmmmmmmmm

[newslady]

With all of this cheese, has anyone cut it?

[Therp]

I like the chemical cheeses :D

Velveeta slices and Land O' Lakes white american slices. :)

[Heartland]

This thread made me hungry. :2headspin

[Kiheicat]

Ooh, I'll tell you what else is delish: Spinach salad with warm bacon dressing and tons of crumbled feta cheese. mmmmmmmmmmmm

[sibs ling]

The rat takes the cheese

Hi-ho,The derry-o

Sales up in Japan of cheese insulted by politician (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050903/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_japan_election_cheese)

Sat Sep 3, 5:37 PM ET

TOKYO (Reuters) - The popularity of a certain type of French cheese has soared in Japan after a leading ruling party politician called it "hard and dry" last month.

The incident took place in early August when Yoshiro Mori, a former prime minister, met with Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in a last-ditch effort to persuade him not to dissolve parliament and call snap elections.

Following the evening meeting at Koizumi's official residence, Mori told reporters that Koizumi had given him only beer and simple snacks while they talked, disregarding long-standing Japanese customs of political hospitality that mandated a more lavish welcome.

"He gave me foreign beer and some dried out cheese, so hard you couldn't bite into it," an obviously miffed Mori said in widely televised remarks, displaying a crumpled beer can and thin slice of orange-brown cheese.

Cheese cognoscenti, however, recognised Mimolette, a firm French cheese whose flavour increases as it ages and hardens. Aficionados say that the harder it gets, the tastier it is, with older cheeses commanding a higher price.

Now the scorned cheese is enjoying brisk sales at Japanese gourmet food and department stores, with sales three times as strong as usual. Some more aged varieties have even sold out.

"Sales of Mimolette have really taken off," said a spokeswoman at a downtown Tokyo branch of Takashimaya, a major department store. "We did not expect this at all."

Mori's visit to Koizumi turned out to be in vain. Koizumi called snap elections several days later, and there were rumours that relations between the two long-time political allies had markedly chilled.

The demands of the election campaign, however, have forced the two to mend fences, Kyodo news agency reported.

Koizumi has even promised to treat Mori to dinner and a full selection of cheeses at an expensive restaurant, it added.
