What's your favourite cheese? This is one of the imponderables of life that besets me when I'm having pizza for lunch.

I narrowed it down to a short list of:
Edam - your generic kitchen multi-function cheese;
Mozzarella - mmm pizza;
Feta - ideal for funking up lettuce salads;
Brie - for pre-dinner nibbles;

but the winner is.....
STILTON!
especially in a kumara soup.

Anyone else?

And here I was thinking this would be a Wallice and Grommit thread....oh, well!

I'd have to go with the Brie. I like having wine and cheese gatherings (ok, not so often, but they are fun), and that is the perfect cheese to go with the drier reds and sweet whites out there.

Cheddar. The sharper the better.

Would you all throw things at me if I say cheddar?

I also like a nice Gruyere, all melty and brown atop a crock of French onion soup.

There are a zillion other great varieties, though. I'm working on a very tasty wedge of Gouda now. And Maytag Blue is nice when I'm in that mood. (The mood for blue cheese, I mean... not depressed.)

...
MOUSEBENDER:
Brie, Roquefort, Pont-l'Évêque, Port Salut, Savoyard, Saint-Paulin, Carre-de-L'Est, Bresse-Bleu, Boursin?
WENSLEYDALE:
No.
...
MOUSEBENDER:
Have you in fact got any cheese here at all?
WENSLEYDALE:
Yes, sir.
MOUSEBENDER:
Really?

(pause)
WENSLEYDALE:
No. Not really, sir.

Swiss. Hands down. Especially the baby swiss. The little holes are so cute.

Brie is wonderful on a turkey sandwich with some cranberry sauce. Also, cream cheese with cranberries in it is good on there. For snacking, definitly some sharp cheddar, or white cheddar! Also, smoked cheddar for crackers!

Munster is yummy, but my favorites are sharp cheddar and colby jack.

Joss and Tim both love cheese (see DVD extras for their statements) so why should good Browncoats not do the same?

Give me *any* cheese and stand back. I may already have reported here a nearly out-of-body experience I had while looking around a Swiss molkerei. I didn't want to leave, but was lured back into the street with a slice of Emmenthaler.

Yum.

I can't believe no one's sad Provolone. It's absolutely my favorite cheese of all times. It's delicious and smokey. And wonderful. That is all.

I've never met a cheese I didn't like. My favorite is a grilled havarti & dill sandwich. Right now I'm also groovin' on goat cheese pizzas.

Damn, I love cheese. Especially Belgian cheeses (and beers, and chocolate...).

I gotta go a little more specific than brie/cheddar/swiss here, because, seriously, it's like talking about wines.

Some of my favorites: Pere Josef, Oka, Chimay (yes, as in the beer), St. Aubrey, St. Travier, St. Andre, Telaggio, Morbier, Gruyere... some of those 'cave aged' goudas are nice, too. Also Chevrie, Boursin, fresh mozzerella...

I have cherished childhood memories of going to the cheese shop in town and getting to taste the different cheeses and then deciding just how much to get. They'd wrap it up in plastic, then white butcher's paper on the outside, and scribble on only the price. It was hard to tell which cheese was what when we got home... you just had to open them all. And the refrigerator stunk the whole time we had the cheeses. Mmmm, mmmm.

My nursery school teacher once threw out my sandwich because she thought the ash in the cheese was mold.

A co-worker once threw out my $11.99/lb. stinky cheese from the office refrigerator because she thought it must've gone bad. (I should've packed it in something more air-tight, I guess.)

I have a cheese problem.

Definately Feta or Provolone or Meunster... One of those.. I'd probably stick with Feta though A very versitile cheese. Try it in stew. Mmmmmm
