Yarlsburg lite.
It's like swiss but not nearly as bitter. More of a sweet cheese.
The lite tastes almost the same as the regular so no harm in getting something a little better for me.
 
<<camembert or brie are my favourites.>>


Now there's taste. I was looking down the thread wondering why no one had put either one of these on their list. And then Kassy puts them both in the one post. Kinda freaky. Oh, and Jarlsberg(sp?) is really nice too.


I can't say I've actually tasted fermunda cheese. Not planning on it either.
 
Extra-sharp Cheddar is great (acquired taste - like feta)

Tillamook is a great brand. Smoked cheddar is pretty good (make sure it's the real stuff, not some pasteurized processed cheese food made to taste smoked <shudder>)
 
double gloucester cheese, provolone, cheddar of course, and american white from the deli is always good on my subs
 


<< Parmesan (NOT the kind in the green can) >>



man, I ate that once, it's strong! (read: NASTY 🙂)

The best cheese is a Brie that's not too strong, eaten with a french bread. hmmmmmmmmm
 
Canadian white cheddar. Real sharp and hard as hell. Bring a good knife.
Gouda, Parmesan, Provolone, Monteray Jack, Colby Longhorn, Colby Jack, Mild, Regular, Sharp and Extra Sharp Cheddar, Meunster(as a kid monster).
 

Owner: Good morning, Sir. Welcome to the National Cheese Emporium!

Owner: What can I do for you, Sir?

C: Well, I was sitting in the public library on Thurmon Street just now,

skimming through &quot;Rogue Herrys&quot; by Hugh Walpole, and I suddenly came over

a little peckish.

O: Peckish, sir?

C: Esuriant.

O: Eh?

C: 'Ee Ah wor 'ungry-liiiike!

O: Ah, hungry!

C: In a nutshell. And I thought to myself, &quot;a little fermented curd will do

the trick,&quot; so, I curtailed my Walpoling activites, sallied forth, and

infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy

comestibles!

O: Come again?

C: I want to buy some cheese.

O: Oh, I thought you were complaining about the mazuki player!

C: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the

Terpsichorean muse!

O: Sorry?

C: 'Ooo, Ah lahk a nice tuune, 'yer forced too!

O: So he can go on playing, can he?

C: Most certainly! Now then, some cheese please, my good man.

O: Certainly, sir! What would you like?

C: Well, eh, how about a little red Leicester.

O: I'm, afraid we're fresh out of red Leicester, sir.

C: Oh, never mind, how are you on Tilset?

O: I'm afraid we never have that at the end of the week, sir, we get it

fresh on Monday.

C: Tish tosh... No matter- Well, stout yeoman, four ounces of Cafilly, if you

please.

O: Ah! It's been on order, sir, for two weeks. I was expecting it this

morning.

C: Not my lucky day, is it? Aah, Bell Paisey?

O: Sorry, sir.

C: Red Windsor?

O: Normally, sir, yes... Today the van broke down.

C: Ah. Stilton?

O: Sorry.

C: Emental? Brilliere?

O: No.

C: Lipta?

O: No.

C: Lancashire?

C: White Stilton?

O: No.

C: Danish Brew?

O: No.

C: Double Goucester?

C: Cheshire?

O: No.

C: Dorset Bluveny?

O: No.

C: Brie, Roquefort, Pol le Veq, Porceileu, Savoy Aire, Sampolan, Carrier de

lest, Bres Bleu, Bruson?

O: No.

C: Camenbert, perhaps?

O: Ah! We have Camenbert, yes sir.

C: You do!? Excellent.

O: Yessir. It's... ah... it's a bit runny...

C: Oh, I like it runny.

O: Well... It's very runny, actually, sir.

C: No matter. Fetch hither the fromage de la Belle France! MMMMMMAH!

O: I...think it's a bit runnier than you'll like it, sir.

C: I don't care how f*king runny it is. Hand it over with all speed.

O: Oooooooooohhh........!

(PAUSE)

C: What now?

O: The cat's eaten it.

(PAUSE)

C: Has he.

O: She, sir.

(PAUSE)

C: Goudon?

O: No.

C: Idam?

O: No.

C: Case Ness?

O: No.

C: Smoked Austrian?

O: No.

C: Japanese Sage Darby?

O: No, sir.

C: You...do _have_ some cheese... don't you?

O: Of course, sir! It's a cheese shop, sir! We've got-

C: No no... don't tell me. I'm keen to guess.

O: Fair enough.

C: Uuuuuh, Wensleydale.

O: Yes?

C: Ah, well, I'll have some of that!

O: Oh! I thought you were talking to me, sir.

Mister Wensleydale, that's my name.



(PAUSE)



C: Greek Fetta?

O: Uh, not as such.

O: no

C: Parmesan,

O: no

O: no

C: Czech sheep's milk,

O: no

C: Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?

O: Not... _today_, sir... no.

(PAUSE)

C: Aah, how about Cheddar?

O: Well, we don't get much call for it around here, sir.

C: Not much call?! -It's the single most popular cheese in the world!

O: Not around here, sir.

C: ... and what IS the most popular cheese &quot;'round heea&quot;?

O: 'Illchester, sir.

C: Is it.

O: Oh, yes, it's staggeringly popular in this manusquire.

C: Is it.

O: It's our number one best seller, sir!

C: I see.....'Illchester, eh?

O: Right, sir.

C: All right. Okay...

&quot;Have you got any?&quot; He asked, expecting the answer 'no'.

O: I'll have a look, sir..

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno.

C: It's not much of a cheese shop, is it?

O: Finest in the district!

C: (annoyed) Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, please.

O: Well, it's so clean, sir!

C: It's certainly uncontaminated by cheese....

O: (brightly) You haven't asked me about Limburger, sir.

C: Would it be worth it?

O: Could be....

C: Have you --SHUT THAT BLOODY MAZUKI OFF!

O: Told you sir...

C: (slowly) Have you got any Limburger?

O: No.

C: Figures.

Predictable, really I suppose. It was an act of purest optomism to have

posed the question in the first place. Tell me:

O: Yessir?

C: (deliberately) Have you in fact got any cheese here at all.

O: Yes,sir.

C: Really?

(PAUSE)

O: No. Not really, sir.

C: You haven't.

O: No sir. Not a scrap. I was deliberately wasting your time, sir.

C: Well I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to shoot you.

O: Right-0, sir.



Customer pulls out a pistol and shoots owner.



C: What a _senseless_ waste of human life.

 
It doesn't have a name but I just recycle my socks for a few weeks and not wash my feet. The result is a great spread that goes good with a nice fruit plate.
 
Feta (On pizza too, YUM!!)
EXTRA sharp cheddar
big-eye swiss

Pretty much anything else that has a STRONG smell/taste. I love it 🙂
 
well aged Provolone (not the soft stuff) which is becoming harder and harder to find 🙁
Swiss cheese
Cream cheese
Cottage cheese with lots of fresh blueberries
Blue cheese, Ricotta and feta too 🙂
 


<< cream cheese and icing sugar? >>


If you like the two together then you may like this.
Use a pkt of Herseys Brownie Mix (the one with the sauce) make it according to the directions, but bake it in muffin pans.
Fill the muffin pans half full and put in a tsp of cream cheese mix (cream cheese, icing sugar and a couple of drops of lemon juice) then top with the rest of the brownie mix. Bake it and use the Herseys sauce as a topping for a nice dessert. YUMMMMM !
