Jesus Wept, another one with no abstract. What if the thread goes off-topic? Eh? Eh? Don't you ever stop to think?

I like salami.

I would say I love procuttio, but I would probably spell it wrong.

Cheese: mozerella (I cant spell cheese either)
Salami: Hot Genoa

Cant recall the name, but its got blue parts in it and smells like a locker room.

It's so sad how culinarily illiterate some of you are. For goodness sakes.

Now stand aside before I blast you away with my hearty, arrogant laughter.

Okay then. I'd probably have to say Asiago. Now stop tempting me with food. I have to read.

What about Spray Cheese. Cheese in a can that you can put on a cracker to make hoity-toity white trash hordeurves.

Smoked cheddar, with that sort of hard red skin on the outside. Yeah. I could eat that until my arteries just clog right the fuck up. Oh, yeah.

Jarlsberg.

Or maybe smoked horseradish cheddar.

No one else likes provolone? It's the best cheese for a sandwich.
 
 
Baz Auckland
06:50 / 24.10.02
But if you mention provolone, I can't help but think of Psycho Beach Party....

Provolone!

Feta. Not too salty, though.

And, at a pinch, that Appleyard Smoked Cheddar. Which ROCKS.

I Can't Believe It's Not Cheese!

Though that may be only in the states, and then perhaps only in Texas, where it may actually be illegal now to sell things that are truly fermented, but not bottled.

Also, Sarse County Thrice-Week Limperwurster is pretty good. Keeps the zombies away.

10 year old cheddar. Good cheese makes your gums bleed.

There's one sort of rice 'cheese' that I quite like. And then only because its the only vegan cheese that isn't disgusting beyond belief. When I wasn't a vegan, I liked feta, caerphilly and wendsleydale (sp?).

I'd have to go for Brie. For those of you who aren't so up on your diary product names as might be required, you can find help from the boys and girls at Cheese Express.

Halloumi, but you have to roast or grill it before it's nice. I usually marinade it in oil & lemon juice then roast it with some aubergine and have it with couscous. Because I'm classy.

I like smoked processed cheese as well, and brie, and applewood smoked cheddar.

I'm definitely a halloumi kind of guy. Grilled, fried, or, if you're caned and can't be arsed, just plain... umm... plain NOT grilled or fried.

It's partly the taste, partly the texture (improved further by griling or frying) and partly that sort of subliminal squeaky noise it makes against your teeth. (Well, MY teeth, actually. I find it's not as good a cheese if someone else is eating it.)

But I had a yummy goat's cheese pizza the other day...

Sanagopika. OK that may not be spelled quite right and it's more of a dish than a type of cheese but it will be served by a waiter who yells at you while setting fire to it.

If you're looking for more than that then you may be sorely disapointed.

Nah, man, you gots ta cook that shit. Although I've probably eaten "raw" Halloumi on a mouldy Sunblest crust when I've been caned and poor in days of yore. Either of you guys ever lived in North-East London (Hackney, Manor House etc)? I'd never heard of Halloumi until my first year in a Young Ones - stylee stoodent house.

Goat's cheese tho', mmmm YEAH! Speshully with sun-dried tomaters. But I think my fave has to be cheddar, a crumbly tangy nutty variety. It's my favourite in the same way that cocktails are delicious and fun to drink but ultimately beer is the constant friend. That's what cheddar is to me.

And Kegboy - "Spray cheese"?

Home - made glue?

TBP: Tower of flaming cheeses, sounds good.
Myself, I'm a kind of Jarlsberg kinda guy, a contential sophisticate.
Is no one gonna raise a shout for good old English cheddar (and I don't mean the "Cheddar" they talk about in rap records either)? We'd better watch out or the Daily Mail will be onto us.

I'm living in Hackney right now, as it happens. If 'tweren't for the fact that I don't get paid until to-bastard-morrow, I'd be feasting on grilled halloumi right now, from one of the (at least twelve) places that sell it that are close enough to my house that, were it a nice sunny day, I could walk there without putting my boots on.

Either that, or another o' them yummy goat's cheese pizzas from the place up the road...

Cheese is just fucking great, isn't it? I depends on mood, but:

Stilton. I love stilton.

I forgot about cambazola. I used to love that, too.

God, I miss proper cheese. Soya cheese has potato in it, for crying out loud.

Why eat pretend cheese, though? Is it nice?

If it's not going to be burning cheese then I'll lay my vote with unpastuerised organic stilton that has been well aged.

Once again, we have to big up Hackney and Stokey in particular - this time for it's mass cheese availability. Buffalo Mozarella, Parmasan, Halomi, Feta - all at cheap, cheap prices.
God bless those little Turkish men and their little shops.

A really decent stinky Chaumes. Or stilton (again) or just about any stinky blue cheese. Not so stinky that it actually smells of ammonia, though.

Oh god. I'm a cheese fetishist.

Favourite cheeses in the world are the strong blue ones. St. Agur, mainly, but follow that up with Dolce Late, Stilton, Shropshire Blue... I'm not a huge fan of strong, overpowering flavour (hence dislike of chilli, garlic, sweetandsour, though I really relish a good, mild-yet-subtle curry), but since about the age of eight, I'll eat pretty much any cheese you throw at me.

Hard cheese wise: really good, top-notch mature cheddar (strong, but no aftertaste - the aftertaste ruins so many "farmhouse" cheeses), Double Gloucester, and, most wonderful of all, Yarg (it's a bit like cheshire. And it's wrapped in nettles that you eat. And it's called Yarg. It rocks).

Oh, and Brie and Cambozola. Obviously. Things I'm not so hot on: smoked cheese, goats cheese. Though goat's stuff in pizza etc, as Stoatie points out, ain't half bad.

My god. I'm such a cheese-geek.

Paleface- loveya to bits, man, but- "mild-yet-subtle curry"-

what's the fucking point? That's like "soft reggae", or "soft metal"...

Food should cause PAIN, goddammit! Pain, I tell 'ee...

My favourite is probably Gorgonzola, though at times I can think of nothing nicer than bog-standard cheddar on toast.

Threadrot, but... a friend of a friend once had dinner with Ian Botham. After pudding the waiter came to the table and Botham asked whether they had any "Dolly Chatty." The waiter looked puzzled, f.o.a.f asked "What's Dolly Chatty?" "An Italian cheese," Botham replied snootily. F.o.a.f pissed himself laughing and then told him it was pronounced "dolcelate." Botham then turned nasty and said "Listen mate, have you scored over 5000 test runs and taken 383 test wickets? Thought not," turning to the waiter, "I'll have some Dolly Chatty please."
