Re: Cheese
THAT my friend is your problem. You need to go for a regional brand. Tillamook is really good. You might want to go to a wine and cheese shop and check there. Kraft is way too easy a choice and too massed produced.

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

Re: Cheese
Saying that, trader joes and whole foods do have excellent choices, but tad pricey for a lot of it.

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 like all blue cheeses; stilton and saint agur are my favourites. I live in Wisconsin, so I get very good cheeses from the farmers market...really strong goats cheese, mature swiss, all different kinds of smoked cheeses, etc. Sharper the better for me...

A friend gave me a giant pack of the stuff (she got 3 by mistake). I'm not eating plastic.... but my friends who were visiting in the summer love the stuff (ewww). So I brought it up that summer, and they ate it all (good, all gone).
Then I discover, friend's husband (the Kraft-lover) as they were leaving bought me ANOTHER giant pack of the stuff!
Just when I was celebrating it being all gone....

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