The "Say Cheese" Poll

alleygirl · Jan 13, 2009

I LOVE cheese!

However, I don't like what I consider icky cheeses like feta, gouda, brie, etc.

I like cheddar (extra sharp!), jack, swiss, provolone, parmesan, mozzarella (fresh), etc.

arlyn · Jan 13, 2009

I clicked them all!
I have yet to meet a cheese that I didn't like

katiemae1277 · Jan 13, 2009

I love

too!! I always joke that even though I don't drink milk I'll never get osteoporosis because of the amount of cheese I eat

My absolute favorite is swiss, I like that on burgers and a rye bread and swiss grilld cheese sandwich is pretty close to heaven on earth

tierre0 · Jan 13, 2009

I would have problems picking a favorite as well. I am such a cheese nut that I like almost any kind. I guess if I had to choose it would be a softer white cheese like Havarti or Gouda.

Sing it, sister!

What passes for cheese in the standard American diet is an abomination against nature! And don't even get me started on the supposed "bread" they make to go with it.

Like most of us, I grew up on Wonder Bread and Kraft American Slices, but when I was about 13, I read an article on breadmaking in a great (but shortlived) magazine called Charlie, and I started baking my own bread. Once you discover the joys of a good, substantive bread with some texture and crunch, you look at that bland, congealed "processed cheese food" and your very soul recoils at the idea of desecrating your good crusty bread with it.

So ever since my first loaf of Real Bread came out of the oven, I've been on a lifelong quest for the world's sharpest cheddar!

So far, the winner is a chunk of local cheese I bought in St.Andrew's, Scotland, and kept chilled at our bed-and-breakfast that night by propping the window open with it.

I love cheese, but it doesn't love me. When I was in college I apparently developed an allergy to cheese, would get a horrendous headache every time I ate it. For a number of years after that I couldn't even eat one bite.

I can eat a little now, but never two days in a row and I have to be really careful about which kind. I really prefer Edam or Feta cheese but usually end up with mozzarella or monterey jack because of the price.

whuckleberry · Jan 13, 2009

So, so many. My current favorite is Robiola, a soft Italian cheese.

That sound fantastic! I LOVE sharp cheddar

I'd have to say my very favourite is St. Andre - it's like eating butter and I love, love, love butter.

My hubby loves the Oka from Quebec and pretty much any real cheese - he will not eat any processed cheeses of any kind. He's also Dutch so he loves his spiced Gouda melted on 7 grain bread for a snack.

DD and I also love deep-fried camembert.

catlover19 · Jan 13, 2009

My favourites are havarti, feta and swiss but I like almost all kinds of cheese that I have tried.

There are so many applications that I can't pick. I did tell DH that I was going on a cheese binge as soon as our son is born because right now I can't have some of my faves like any blue cheese or brie!

You really should give brie a chance. It's a lovely soft cheese with a very rich buttery taste. It goes great spread over crusty bread with roasted garlic.

The on thing we always keep on hand in a wedge of real Parmesan. We've also discovered chihuahua cheese and fontina for melting. Oh, how I love my cheese!

addiebee · Jan 13, 2009

Ah yes, good cheese deserves good bread. I like one of our local organic bakeries - makes wonderful stuff. I made my BF a grilled cheese sandwich with a horseradish cheddar, tomatoes on a fab country sourdough! Man, oh man was that good! ( I had a bite!)

tofu · Jan 13, 2009

I have never met a cheese I didn't like! Cheese on the other hand, does not like me! But, I eat it anyway. My favorite is brie, I could eat it everyday. I love it with fruit, in salads, baked in a pastry or simply by itself, heated up or served chilled. I have a wonderful bake brie recipe with honey, dried cherries, toasted pecans, and rosemary. mmmm....

I agree!

When I first moved to Texas, I couldn't find anything that even began to compare to real cheese. The stuff I came across was like eating poorly flavored wax.

And being from Wisconsin, I know what a good cheese is!

I had a friend of mine send me a box of the good stuff, just so I could satisfy my cheese cravings!

I finally found some good cheese here, and am happy again.

It didn't surprise me any when I looked on the back of the package, and noticed that the cheese came from Wisconsin.

mews2much · Jan 13, 2009

Oh my gosh! Cheese and cherries together?
