Cheese
Respectfully disagree. In particular, Cabot Extra Shap (black wax) is great cheddar. Available pretty much everywhere for cheap.

Re: Cheese
Your joking? most of the cabot stuff is rubbish...not tried the other one though.
There is certainly a lot of good cheese around though, but the own brand cheap stuff is utter rubbish, impressive if it's aged 30 days, that's not cheese.
I used to like the cheapo own brand tesco's crap for cheese toasties, way more sharp than the average stuff around here

additionally the cabot butter is the closest i can get to uk style butter (i.e. not some suhary bollocks)

Re: Cheese
There isn't a single cheddar cheese in this place that is up to my standard of sharpness.
As to the question, there is only one type of cheese that I will NOT be eating
I adore cheese.Mallory, you deserve 100 lashes for saying that I eat synthetic cheese! PUKE!

Re: Cheese
Without a doubt a strong mature cheddar, direct from Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. On toast - wonderful! I also like Dutch Gouda, Edam and French brie. The continent has a vast variety of cheeses. The cheese shops in Brugge, Belguim.... unbelievable... stacks of all types for the cheese gourmet. No 'plastic' stuff.

Tillamook is a great substitute for brake pads.

Re: Cheese
Does "Laughing Cow" quesitos count? IP Jr loves'em.
For me, a nicely aged Manchego, a good Brie or Hot Pepper Cheese (love the Chipotle Chedder slices from Seargents)..

Re: Cheese
So, even though I am supposedly a cook, I do get lazy...
On my own, decided a glass of wine, crackers, bit of fruit, and a lovely cheese assortment sounded like an easy dinner.
Favourites lying around today were:
French Brie
Wisconsin Cheddar (in this case the curds)
Danish Havarti
Smoked Gouda
and a nice new addition...
English White Stilton with Apricots (Trader Joe's btw)
What are some of your favourites?

I don't like cheese on my burgers either. I'm a fussy bugger.
Tracym: how do Americans eat cheese curds? I've seen them in my local SuperTarget but don't have a clue about how they're eaten.

Re: Cheese
After 4 years I am sick to death of cheese. Cheese grated on salad, cheese on burgers, cheese on this cheese on that, 3 cheese pizza's..4 cheese pizza's with extra cheese.
i wouldnt care if i never saw another piece of cheese again in my life...especially the utter crap that passes for cheese over here.

Re: Cheese
I like real feta (not made of cow's milk), goat cheese and (grilled) halloumi. The only American cheese I can tolerate (that I've tried) is the extra sharp Cabot (the block stuff).
I don't like cheese on my burgers either. I'm a fussy bugger.

How to eat a cheese curd: pick up, put in mouth, chew.
Seriously, they're just a snack. I'm trying to figure out how they are different from regular cheese though - mostly the texture probably. When I've had them, they're generally Wisconsin cheese, and I do like the Wisconsin cheddar. But if you don't like the cheese they're from, not sure if you will like them either.
