Parmesan is indeed good. I'm all about feta at the moment, though.

Bitchie - Irish Cheddar is really especially good. Not sure why! Xoc - I like dead cheeses and live cheeses - what does that say about me?

There are some things though for which only processed cheese will do. For example, Mac and Cheese is best enhanced with a few slices of processed cheese. Really. barring that, Red Leicester.

Ask me about cheese, I'm an expert!

Emmental, love the holes. But the best has got to be Laughing Cow.

Oh, god, pecorino.
Did anyone else see the Food Programme where they showed Italians chowing down on hunks of pecorino along with the tasty maggots that lived in it? Uuuugggghhh. Probably very good for you.

and for the best in processed cheese, Scottish cheddar. Like cheddar, only orange. With added salt. I kid you not. Let's fry that baby!

"No cheese. That's it Lisa. Period. NO CHEESE. I told this to KROQ, I told this to my nanny. People I tell this to lose ten, thirty pounds. STOP CHEESE. You know why Orientals are not fat? 'Cause they look on cheese as this gross Western habit. It's like sour milk -- LARD. They don't want anything to fucking do with cheese. If you're going to eat cheese, take it out on a picnic, cut it up carefully, and really taste it -- with wine or something. Don't melt it on shit. And I lost FORTY POUNDS by not eating cheese. And I even ate a little mayonnaise. All right? Skip the butter and skip the cheese and you will lose weight. I swear to God. Don't eat cheese. There are a millions things to eat that are not cheese."

Damnit Qalyn, are you trying to ruin my family?! my great uncle is in the dairy business, and with rebel rousing like that, he wont be for much longer. What will my Aunt May do then?... Oh my.

Whoah, cool, good time for a revival on this one, definitely. I'm now really tempted to run off over the road and buy some halloumi, then fall asleep while I'm grilling it and burn the house down.

Actually

Possibly the best cheese in the world is the cheddar that's in my fridge. Cos it's ten feet away and I don't have to put my boots on.

Xyu, motza is not a cheese, you gonif.

Ender, it's not my fault that Courtney Love hates cheese.

I like any cheese that smells like a russian wrestling teams sock bag.

Mmm, camembert surely...leave it lying around in a nonchalent manner til it gets a bit whiffy, then move in for the kill; perfect.

Although, and here's something shameful, there are times when I want nothing more than a good slice of plastic cheese fresh from the cellophane wrap, with its garish orange colour and funny slime-texture. Oh how I yearn for those additives and preservatives in cheese form...

Smoked buffalo mozzarella is my favourite at the minute, despite it being packaged in a way that resembles a pair of large testicles (perhaps best not to read into this too much methinks).

As a general rule of thumb, melted cheese of any type rocks my world.
 
 
THOR!

this is the easiest thread there's ever been: cheddar. 'mad chedduh "'yo'"'. mendip dairies if you must know (not in cheddar obviously, though the stuff they do there for tourists isn't so bad; the factory used to be a few miles away in wells, but has moved for houses, not sure where tis now).

for softies, a pricey french brie left to rot in the midday sun for a while, or a bit of that there taleggio, almost too rich to be eaten in quantity on its own, but an especially welcome flavour in cooking.

kracka wheat, the kids favourite, is really a bit too salty, that and the eponymous wheatiness that makes them such a treat to eat on their own overwhelms almost any cheese. jacobs, very good indeed, 'design classic' are the words that come to mind when looking at their packets, but Carr's Table Water, for their inscruatbility of name and sheer cold-snapping texture, must be proclaimed triumphant.

Mmm. I love that this thread has popped up again.

But having reread it (sad, sad person taht I am) I have to take issue with whoever doesn't like Norwegian brown cheese.

It's a bit of an acquired taste, but it's delious, it's a dessert cheese, best eaten with lovely sloppy Norwegian pancakes.

Londoners, track down the Norwegian Sailor's Mission (around Limehouse, I think) and try some!

Mmm. I love that this thread has popped up again.

I'm very pissed that it's back. I thought I'd murdered it via my agent, Courtney Love.

Damn you, Jack Denfield!!!!

I thought it was Walter Matthau in a bad wig.

This thread is the cheesiest! Hyuk, that's actually the slogan for Kraft's Macaroni & Cheese mix - "It's the Cheesiest!"

As for me, my favorite cheese is Classic Oka, a semi-soft cheese made in Quebec, Canada. It's rich'n'creamy and utterly delicious. Absolutely lovely on stonewheat crackers, served with grapes and apples on the side, and a glass of red.

Halloumi did the trick last year, but it's looking very last season now.

Paneer has been wrestling its way into my heart (and my tummy); and that plastic spicy cheese dip stuff one buys in glass pots for dipping tortilla chips into is also jolly nice.

Panner needs to be cooked proper to really work, but yeah, Saag Paneer is grand, I love feta in a salad, paramsan with rocket and tomatoes, and that spanish one which name completely escapes me at this hour when I'm work frazzled, with quince.

Quince is the best.

That's the fella! That stuff is great.

Also, top tip, a good substitute and sometimes a bit tasty, for Parmasen, is Twyford Grange. Very nice.

Do folks like their cheese hits one at a time, cheese boards, quatro fromage?

As a child supper always consisted of cheese, crackers and piccalili (yellow pickle), cheese has always held fond memories for me.
