Say Cheese!
« on: September 15, 2012, 05:46:16 PM »
What's your favorite? I'm partial to extra sharp cheddar most of the time. However, my real favorite is Double Glouster and Stilton.

I really like a British cheese called Red Dragon. I also like Havarti and smoked Gouda.

Depends on what might be getting eaten with it. I like a good sharp Cheddar but if I'm eating pastrami on rye I'll go with a Swiss. Lasagna get ricotta, Parmesan and mozzarella.

Sarge and I have similar cheese palates. Ultra sharp cheddar (Tillamook) and mid-range blue cheeses (Salemville Amish).

I like extra sharp cheddar in salads and such and to nibble on by itself, and I like Havarti a lot, but my favorites are the soft, mild, white cheeses like camembert and brie. LOVE those, at room temp, with crusty bread.
I've also lately been making sammiches (for ME) with marbled Colby-Jack - it's really a good sammich cheese.

I'm not a big fan of the stinky cheeses or the ones that are so bitter it makes your jaw ache.

For eating on a sandwich, depends on the sandwich.  Meats, a soft gouda or havarti, something with onions and jalapenos then its the sharp cheddar.  Am I entertainting?  Brie with a semi-sweet jelly (lavender peppermint or white wine) drizzled over the top and cracker. 

There is not one cheese for everything.

Depends what it's for.  Sandwiches, swiss is preferred, cheddar or colby if swiss is not available.  Omlette, cheddar is preferred, swiss is OK.  Pizza, mozerella.  Parmesian on various dishes.  For snacking, swiss.

"American" on nothing.  I can't believe I liked that stuff as a kid.

All of it. I wish I could find this spanish hard cheese I had, cave aged, sold at room temp, it lived in my fridge for 3 years, slice the mold off and keep eating. So sharp!

Actually, I really do like American (me and Anthony Bourdain) for some things, like grilled cheese sammiches, and mixed with salsa for nachos (Velveeta). Yes, I said the "V" word! =D

What type of cheese is that? The main reason I started this thread is to get new (to me) cheese ideas.

You must be a commie.  ;)  American cheese goes on a cheeseburger.  (where's the flag smiley?)  Nothing else really works, although blue cheese is good.

For snacking, extra sharp Cheddar.

For pizza or quesadillas, whole milk low-moisture mozzarella.  They sell it in big bags at Sam's, pretty cheap.  It's hard to find anywhere else; the "part skim" mozzarella doesn't come close.  Non-aged provolone will work in a pinch.

Blue cheese is excellent on a grilled rib eye!

Favorite? Don't have one.

But I'm partial to extra sharp cheddar, swiss, mozzarella, gouda, havarti, munster, feta, parmigiano-reggiano, provolone, ricotta, colby, and pepperjack.

ETA: Regarding American cheese, the real stuff is pretty good on a hamburger. That yellow stuff that Kraft makes doesn't count.

I have never understood the concept of cheese on a hamburger. I don't throw a slab of cheese on a good steak, a roast, or ribs, so what make a burger so much different that it is ok to put cheese on the beef part of it?  ???

Oy! Mix meat with dairy a little, you'llbe converted. Start by sprinkling blue cheese on that nice steak. Yum!
