CHEESE!

I thought about doing a cheese poll, but the list of cheeses is way too extensive. I do like trying new cheeses though, and even though there aren't that many local farms, we do get quite a lot of imports.

Do you have a favorite cheese I should try? Gouda from Happy Shiny Cow Place? Oaxaca from Lugar Brillante Feliz de la Vaca?

I love Gouda! I also love saying Gouda! Gouda. Gouda. Gouda. *giggle*

I actually once met a mastiff named Gouda and thought it was a wonderful name for a dog. ;)

GOAT'S CHEESE. It's the best. Try it on a burger. Or in a salad. GOAT'S CHEESE SALAD. XD

I also really like Jarlsberg.

GOUDA! That's a great name for a dog! XD

I LOVE goat cheese! Love it in salad or on toast with jam. MMMMMMMMMMM.

I'm not sure I know what Jarlsberg tastes like.

Jarlsberg is pretty mild which is why I like it. Usually you can find it wherever your Swiss and Havarti cheeses are.

Wiki describes it as mild, buttery, nutty and slightly sweet. Which huh.

And pizza! Goat cheese, sundried tomatoes and pine nuts pizza!

GOUDA: The Big Cheese! :D

Hmmm. I might like that better than Swiss then. I'm not too terribly fond of Swiss.

HA!

I like Swiss sometimes but it can be very sharp. MUCH prefer Jarlsberg though. XD

MMMM now want pizza. Or at least something with goat's cheese on it.

I have a cheese rec! I found this at my local Whole Foods back in November and ever since my husband has been bugging me to go back and get more.

Mt Tam Cheese. It's awesome!

ME. TOO.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2012-02-01 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
OOOOOOH! That looks yummy!

[identity profile] chloris.livejournal.com 2012-02-01 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It was the hit of a party I gave. I barely even got to eat any. Maybe I should go back and get more soon...

Oaxaca cheese is good! Well I mean, I've never had it straight up, but I've had it on other food. A friend of mine spent the summer in the Mexican state of Oaxaca and after she got back we went to get some Oaxacan food to celebrate (lol idk why we did that since she'd been eating that all summer). And I had a tlayuda which looks like this and is covered in Oaxaca cheese.

Another cheese that I really like is Edam, but it's not really sold in most grocery stores here in the states. This makes me sad because it IS common in the UK and I got used to putting it on my sandwiches.

*DROOOOOOOOLS*

I do see Edam a lot by me (grocery stores near me have pretty varried selections) - never tried it. Maybe I should.

I really need to try this.

Our household Everyday Cheese is Kerrygold Dubliner. It's like cheddar and parmigiano had a baby. Also, I adore aged gouda, especially that produced by Beemster. Oh! Also! White stilton with cranberries in! Tangy and sweet all at once mmmmmm...

I love goats' cheese, of any kind, but I also quite like sheep's cheese too. There's a really nice one called Parlick Fell that we discovered last year. So delicious.

You know you're English when...when someone asks you what cheese you like you start thinking through different brands of Cheddar.

I think I was well into my teens before I knew there was any type of cheese other than cheddar or 'that yukky stilton my dad eats'.

Also, relevant to your interests?

I've had that! It is quite awesome!

Oooh, I like aged gouda as well.

Oh! Also! White stilton with cranberries in! Tangy and sweet all at once mmmmmm...

I've always wanted to try stilton, but haven't quite gotten around to it. That sounds YUM.

I've never tried sheep's cheese! At least I don't think I have. Might have to give that a go sometime!
