I'm allergic to dairy and therefore cheese, but I know I would love it if I could eat it.

[Karo]

Parrano. And Old Amsterdam.

Now add some grapes, crackers, and a glass of red wine.

I sure love my quiet evenings at home :p

Uh lessee...Rogue Creamery Oregon Blue, a cold-smoked blue cheese. Exceptional stuff. Their Rogue River Blue just won Best in Show at the American Cheese Society awards.

Ok, but what's really telling is that YOU KNOW who won the Amercian Cheese Society Awards (ACSA???) :eek:

Best,
Ron (not that there's anything wrong with that.... :D)
PS My fiance is a Frenchy...I just let her pick the cheese and the wine! Safer that way...

My local coop had a tasting, that's how I got onto the Rogue stuff. And now I'm hungry, dammit.

Does Velveeta count?

It is a cheese product.

I think this thread has gotten off topic people... we are all forgetting that I like brie!

NO! Take your blasphemies elsewhere!!! :grr:

[Karo]

Every night, after training. Like now. In fact, I'm sitting next to a plate as we speak :p May I interest you in a glass of Sangioviese and some sheep's milk gouda on sesame crackers? :D

Maggie:

Seriously, if you like Brie, try to find a true Reblochan. Vastly more flavor but also a lot more subtle things going on. It can be difficult to find as the powers-that-be don't like non-pasteurized things imported. Forget that foods like this have been around for thousands of years and the entire process of creating cheeses protects it from the bad stuff -- no, our government must protect us from things that actually taste good.

Reblochan is the Holy grail of cheese to a lot of foodies...

Brie is okay for a sandwich. Reblochan, however, is a cheese...

Ah, nice... Enjoying some smoked gouda tonight myself with a very crisp Sauvignon Blanc... Sigh.

It is a step up from Cheez Whiz.

Seriously, I like Colby Cheese also know as Colby "Swiss" Cheddar.

This good scandinavian likes his Havarti! ...and gouda and mozzarella and cheddar and provolone...mmmmm, provolone:drool:

[rob_liberti]

I miss cheese.

Kerrygold Dubliner sliced about an eighth of an inch thick placed on a slice of twelve grain bread, toast lightly from above till the slices of cheese just begin to soften (but not bubble!) and a nice cuppa Earl Grey and a few almonds, walnuts, and a couple of Brazil nuts. Yummy! A great breakfast.

I've just brought home Kerrygold Dubliner from my shopping expedition to Whole Foods! I used to buy it regularly when I lived in Dublin. It's very good.

I have no twelve-grain bread, though, only the Tuscan Whole Wheat from Trader Joe's... :(

Karo

[ninjaqutie]

I enjoy sharp cheddar as well.

Oh yeah, baby. :D

Dublinner is a great cheese. I also enjoy farmhouse cheddars in much this fashion.

What do the Vegetarians do for alternative non-dairy cheese?

Rob:

If cows eat vegetation, doesn't that make their cheese vegetarian cheese? :confused:

Venezuelan Beaver Cheese.
Can I mention spiral energy and cross-body windings in this thread?

ok sorry. The Python reference notwithstanding, I have to go with Lancashire Toasty.

[Walter Martindale]

I miss cheese.
Is it a problem with your sights, or are you flinching because you really don't want to hit the cheese?
:D

[Walter Martindale]

Problem with Brie is that "use by" date stuff. It only starts tasting really good a couple of weeks after the stores have to take it off the shelf....

A cheese that I shall never eat - veelveta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velveeta). "processed cheese product" cheese by any other name, etc.

Will the one true cheese please stand?

Velveeta is a great ingredient for a quick and dirty fudge!

[thisisnotreal]

yeah; real dirty. low down dirty.
like.. shoulda left it under the fridge dirty...
;)

[lbb]

That's just wrong.

It's not cheese...and it's not fudge...but it is CHEESE FUDGE!!!

[thisisnotreal]

chudge

[thisisnotreal]

i just vomited in my mouth
(a little)

[tarik]

That's just wrong.

It's not cheese...and it's not fudge...but it is CHEESE FUDGE!!!

Not only is it wrong, but I've yet to meet someone who doesn't like it and can't tell that such an ingredient was used.

I still prefer properly made fudge though.

I sorry but I've lost all respect for you sir. Such an affront to the veritable elixir, nay, manna, that is the one true fudge I cast you and and banish you into a cheeseless and fudgeless hell. Get thee gone from my sight.

O.K. You can come back but don't bring none of that nasty chudge stuff.

[BC]

A well aged Manchego. Yum!

[thisisnotreal]

Hi Tarik -
I am sorry about that cheese thing man. I spoke out of line. I was always told not to judge a man by his tastes in cheese; so I should have known better than to say anything. If you would be so kind as to give me the recipe (or is it on their website?) I will undertake your challenge and feed it to my family and just see if they can tell..
With sincere apologies,
Josh

You're funning me, right? I took it as nothing more than friendly joshing (no one takes a josh seriously ;) ).

Anyway, I have actually never bought velveeta and/or made this "chudge" of which we speak, but I was the victim of it in college and watched many friends and acquaintances fall under it's sweet and sludgy sway.

My recollection is that it tasted just as an organic plastic concoction loaded with chocolate and sugar should taste.. but the texture was wrong (too smooth, with no crystalline bite) to my personal senses having made fudge from scratch with my mother as a child.

My wife tells me that Paula Deen still publishes a recipe for just such a chudge and I have to admit that while my sensibilities won't let me purchase velveeta, I probably would eat chudge again.

Back to cheeses.. I have been enjoying some cheddars (a young goat milk and an aged raw cows milk from NZ) and sheeps milk feta with olive oil lately.

What do the Vegetarians do for alternative non-dairy cheese? Tofu?? :D

Roaring Forties Blue Ditto..

[Cynrod]

X2 on Provolone cheese and I love swiss cheese :cool: . I would also settle for some cottage cheese ,topped with pineapple chunks :D .

[ninjaqutie]

I would also settle for some cottage cheese ,topped with pineapple chunks :D .

I eat this quite often myself! Yummy in the tummy. :) The strange thing is I have constantly tried eating cottage cheese and I absolutely HATED it. Then, I moved out here to Oregon and was at the police academy for training and nothing really appealed to me... so I took cottage cheese to try (yet again) since it is supposedly good for you. I also happened to have pineapple on the plate. I absolutely LOVED IT!

I learned a couple things:
1.) I am a firm believer that brands and quallity makes a difference. (Oregon DOES make good cheese after all...)

2.) Cottage cheese isn't just for old people! HAHA!

i'd totally eat chudge right now.

Since we were already talking about cheese; I was wondering Is it true that there is no cheese invented independently by the Chinese? What does that say, if true. They must've invented it; but then been like: Naah. Forget that. I'm not eating that stuff

I just enjoyed molten chocolate lava cake for dessert. Chudge just stands no chance with me tonight.

Tofu is basically cheese made with a different type of 'milk'.

I haven't researched it, but there are MANY different cultural groups in China. If any of them do anything with milk dairy type cheeses, I'd venture that it probably starts with cheeses similar to paneer.

Best,
