Title: Favorite cheese?
Post by: Grill3dCh33z on Wed, 28 January 2015, 21:05:26
Standard question here. What's your favorite cheese and why? Mine has to be Y Fenni (Red Dragon). It's perfect with pretzels or crackers!  :thumb:

The stinky smelly kind
My first job out of high school was working at a specialty grocery store.  I had to frequently cut stuff like Stilton and Roquefort for people, to this day I still can't understand how people eat it, the very smell would almost make me gag.  I guess I shouldn't judge it just on smell alone though...

Mozz is a great, versatile cheese that can go good with a lot of different flavors. But it doesn't have an outright flavor itself. Still a great cheese though.

Anything I run through my smoker for a couple hours with the exception of parmeasan or reggeano.  That stuff only gets 20 minutes, and sharp cheddar gets 4 hours.

Either Aged Gouda or really aged Cheddar, like aged to the point that salt crystals begin forming inside it. My grandparents made cheese in Wi for their whole lives and my dad did for a while.

gruyère de comté for sorta hard ones
brillat-savarin for soft ones

generally. there are some good small local cheeses that are great too though. but the two above are a little easier to find, for me.

Shreaded Swiss+mozzarella on rice is also quite good

You had me at cheese.  I am highly lactose intolerant, but love cheese (and ice cream).  I am willing to make the sacrifice for just about any cheese, although I seem to have control issues with Gouda, Brie, and Mozzarella blocks.   :thumb:

10gate into 4gate all in.
Works real well in pvp long as you can get a pylon in the main. You can usually guarantee some damage so even if you don't kill them you can transition into robo or stargate tech. It also hard counters all cheese the protoss might want to put on, cannon rushes, proxy gates etc etc

I still can't understand how people eat it, the very smell would almost make me gag. 


Although I do understand how people can say that the smell of blue cheeses reminds them of vomit, these are some of the best cheeses. Consider the origin of rennet and it is hard to feel too queasy.

And this is amazing and astonishing:
