Strange question, but which cheese do you like and what do you eat it with?

I ask because i tried some Stilton last weekend with some crackers and found it disgusting :gag: .

Today i have bought some french brie and i don't even know what to eat it with!, or if i need to remove the white skin around it?.

This is coming from someone who has only eaten mild Cheddar all his life, so for me it is quite exotic :hihi:

I only ever eat Double Gloucester or Garlic Soft Cheese

Ummm, brie - i like brie a lot, but the stuff from Cornwall not the French stuff. Good with grapes on fresh bread, yummy.

Can't really be doing with chedder.

Love haloumi, the finest squeaky cheese!!

I like Brie - let it get soft and then scoop out from inside the rind and spread it on biscuits or bread. Well, spread is rather a misnomer - it's not exactly totally spreadable.

I sometimes eat the rind, but usually leave it.

I LOVE stilton - particularly blue stilton with the veins.

Edam is good - again, don't eat the rind!

Sometimes you can't bear a good Cheddar or Leicester, though - especially on toast with a sprinking of Worcester Sauce.

Just red leicester for me :)

I'm a bit boring I know but I love it.

I'll eat other cheese but this is my preferance

Cheese monster here.

I love parmesan, great big chunks of it.
In no other particular order, cheeses I like -
Cheddar
Stilton - soft and mature please
Dolcelatte - creamy delicious
Gorgonzola - pongy like old feet
Port Salut - creamy & tangy
Jarlsberg - perfect Sanwich cheese
Camembert - runny
Brie- likewise
Cambazola - gorgonzola lite
Halloumi (fried) - squeaky!
Mozzarella (fresh, in chunks) - mmm milky
Unpasteurised Goats cheese- yummy with pork sausages
feta - in chunks in oil with olives
ricotta (tiramisu anyone)? Sweet Cheese
Greve - another perfect sandwich cheese.

Venezualan Beaver Cheese (cos it was beginning to sound like Cheese Shop there)

Blue Shropshire is the nicest blue cheese I've tried. I find the other blues I've tasted are not unlike soap!

That's it....I was about to cook tea but now we're having something with cheese!

Maybe i'll open the cheese selection tub i've just bought?

:) Mmmmm, cheese.

Monterey Jack with jalapeno peppers, Colby cheddar and whole wheat crackers. Mozzarella and summer tomatoes with fresh basil.

Queso Fresco cheese with refried beans, fresh tomato salsa and corn tortillas. Heaven.

Don't everyone laugh at once, but this stuff:

makes a darn fine grilled cheese sandwich. Yes, it really does.

No favourite, I just like cheese. It was once the deciding factor as to where we went on holiday. There's a cheese shop in Sheringham and it swung the balance when deciding which Norfolk village to stay in.

Max, no need to go that far. The cheese factor in Chesterfield market is one of the best around, they always have something different to tickle the taste buds, and a Stilton that is one of the best I have ever tasted.
To find it just walk into the market square and listen for the "pound a bag" man he stands outside the cheese shop and is what they used to call "local colour"

Thr Brie was great on some crackers for tea.
Not sure how long it will be before i'm back in the fridge for the rest of it though!;) .

I've had some interesting stuff with bits in from Morrisons. Can't remember what it was, but I sliced a chicken fillet open like a bap and slid slices of the cheese inside, then fried it.

Like kiev without the breadcrumbs and really nice:P

Absolutely love cheese - all kinds :D I'll happily sit for hours with a cheese board and box of biscuits/crackers - not found any I wouldn't have again!

As I am allergic to dairy products ( I sufffer from IBS) I can't eat your stereotypical cow's cheese.

I can, however, eat goat's cheese: and I love it - whether it be hard or soft, just gimme some.

Thank heaven's for darling goats.

MMm cheeeeeeeeeeese.
I'm a huge fan, brie, stilton, you name it I'm into it.
I;ve developed a recent passion for white stilton with cranberry/mango/apricot/christmas fruits/red fruits/rum/brandy and or combinations of the above. Fabulous.
The old safeway - now waitrose used to do a chocolate cheese at xmas which was great.
I have a passion for french goats cheese, the older the better.
Cornish Yarg was a recent discovery on holiday, its better fresh and worth having it posted than buying it older from a supermarket.
While recently visiting the continental market I bought a large selection of waxed cheeses with chives and onion and garlic and allsorts of fabulous other things.
With crackers, toasted bread, ryvita, crispbread, carrot sticks or melted on pikelets - heaven on your tongue!
Mouth is watering now :(

mmmmm goats cheese if gorge. Bought some lovely cheese from the Continental Market on Fargate the other month

i used to love edam cheese but i dont have much cheese anymore since i learnt what was in it!

The stronger the better.. Cathedral City, Dubliner etc.. Love strong cheddar :)

Also Wensleydale, Cheshire (crumbly cheeses :D )

I love all cheese but the sronger and smellier the better :clap:

Before you try anything else..try Rockfort..(not sure this is correct spelling),,,YUUUMMMY !

double gloucester..mmmmmmm i had some from a sandwich shop once and was hooked. but didnt know what is was! so i had to do trial and error at sainsburys till i found it :) yum yum i found it:cool:

If you mean rennet (a dried extract made from the stomach lining of a ruminant, e.g. calves, used in cheesemaking to curdle milk) then you need not worry as most supermarkets offer cheeses made with vegetarian rennet.

edam!!!! well nice :thumbsup:

but mild cheddar, is lovely aswell!! :clap:

no just all the cow puss

Milk?

Mature cheddar's the best. I don't like anything too mild like Red Leicester, but Stilton is just far too strong.

Whilst not a 'real' cheese......

Some years ago I was travelling in the US and bought some cheese from a supermarket and popped it in a bag in the boot of the car. I also had an unwrapped Hershey bar - a big one.....

The cheese was also unwrapped....

After a very warm day, the dreadful soft US cheese and the soft Hershey bar melted and merged....choccie-cheese is not to be advised...:)

Max, I think most cheeses are made with vegetarian rennet these days, but who cares..lol bring on the Stilton, or a good Hartington Blue.

Wensleydale or Lancashire on a thick wedge of Stollen with lashings of butter. Yumdiddlyumptious.

Word of warning - the wife of a workmate has a brain tumour. Whilst trying to diagnose what was wrong with her, one of the first questions asked was whether she'd eaten any blue cheese!! Not sure what if this is a contributing factor to the tumour but certainly made me think!

Hartington blue yes, it is well worth trying - as is anything else from the cheese shop in Hartington village in Derbyshire if you are out in that direction - you will be spoilt for choice and probably buy far more than is good for you but the quality is excellent

Mmm cheese.

I like the white crumbly ones, like cheshire and lancashire, and wensleydale, and then also the french brie, camembert types :)

mmm ... stilton with cranberries yum yum christmas treat

Bowland - with apple and sultanas :)

Goes down well with a glass of cranberry juice.

I lurve Mild Cheddar :razz:

I had some Roqufort (spelling ?) over christmas and was bit dissapointed that it wasn't as nice as Stilton or Danish Blue, oh well.

My favourite cheese is a good wensleydale on a good cracker. Many people seem to disagreeso I open it to you people of sheffield forums!
What is your favourite cheese?
What is sheffield's favourite cheese?
and which cheeses should I experinent with?

-Mr Purple

[Im also rather partial to some mature cheddar and I know a friend who is a stilton addict]

MOD: Thank you for making our job easier. Threads merged.

If I'm buying a block just for sarni's or salads, its usually dbl gloucester or red leicester...

I also like feta on a fresh baguette, aswell as mozzarella... Yummy yum yum :)

I prefer quality [preferably unpasteurised] English cheese to any other. I have tasted many French, German, Italian cheeses etc, but nothing compares to the best of our own in my view. I love Cumberland [made from the milk of Shorthorn cattle, and relatively neglected], Cheshire, Lancashire, Wensleydale, Mature Cheddar, Stilton, Red Leicester, Swaledale, Cornish Nettle Yarg etc.

I cannot stand the stinking, stenching Irish cheeses- Gubbeens and Milleens, nor do I like soapy Double Gloucester. Cottage Cheese is perfectly disgusting. So is Ormskirk Appledore [which, luckily, is rarely found outside of Lancashire]. I don't like cheese 'messed about with' either. I mean here, the addition of fruit or pickle to the actual cheese, i.e, Wensleydale with Blackcurrant. Perfectly dreadful, and almost a sin to ruin good cheese.

The perfect accompaniment is wine, of course. It goes without saying that Claret is best for Stilton. Perhaps Burgundy suits Mature Cheddar, and I like white Sauvignon with the crumblier cheeses such as Cheshire, Lancashire etc. Oatcakes are essential too, preferably by Nairns. Sit back, nibble, imbibe and ponder the eternal verities [life and death, beauty and pain etc, even sex if you wish], with some Classical music in the background, and one is in a sort of paradise. Oh English cheese, I love you! Your taste, your smell, texture and looks! I have never eaten so much cheese in my life.

you all must try, marks and spencers cranberry and brie pate.
its to die for on top of warm fresh cooked bread.
another you must try is halloumi on toast with tomatoes and drizzled honey on top. :thumbsup:

morrisons do a gorgeous white cheese with pickled onions in it. very tasty!

I am obsessed with cheese.

If anyone gets their kebabs from Elifs on Ecclesall Rd, next time ask them to crumble a bit of Feta on top. Mmmmm, it transforms them, particularly if, like me, you go for the Lamb Kofte option. It's a trick I picked up in Gemany where kebabs and strong white cheese seemed inseperable.

This thread has made me so hungry I'm going to have to go to the fridge and take a huge bite out of the block of Cheshire with my name etched across it.

the "pound a bag" man by Owdlad

Thanks, Owdlad, for reminding me of this splendid man, I'm off to Siestafield, as we used to call it, this weekend to pay my respects. He's by far the best 'street crazy' in North East Derbyshire.

PS I love 'Hartington Blue', too (the cheese, not the saucy DVD about wife-swaping in the Peak District).

I do wonder about you sometimes...

:P

OHHHHHH! Proper stilton......none of that messed up muck with apricots or cranberries. Why do they do that? It's an obscenity!:gag:

But what I really really want right now is Sage Derby....
Haven't seen it for years

Anyone know where to get it? :help:

Pont L'Eveque, square-shaped cheese from Normandie with an orange-coloured rind.

Stinks to high heaven but tastes divine with a good red.

Has to be kept down cellar or in garage to ward off stench.

Good Gruyere is heaven, especially when you get those crunchy/salty bits. Mmmmmmm!

CHEESE IS GREAT! (www.cheese.com)

I like all cheese, the smellier the better. I had some french stuff a while back, people left when I got my sandwiches out.

I used to hate cheese when I was a kid, until we went to a cheese-sharing ceremony high up in the Swiss alps when I was about 8. All the farmers in these parts used to put their cheese in huts together to mature, and would hold a ceremony once they are ready where they divide the cheeses out between themselves.

They call the cheese they make "Bergkäse" ("mountain cheese"). It is rather like Gruyere, except a lot harder and stronger. It is by far the most beautiful cheese in the world, but unfortunately I've only once been able to find any in the UK, and that wasn't nearly as nice as the stuff straight from the cheese-sheds.

I also really like other Swiss cheeses - Gruyere and Emmental - although again it's rare to find any in the UK that are anything like as good as the ones you get in Switzerland.

In fact, I like pretty much all cheeses.

My tastiest recent discovery was "Hereford Hop" - it comes from Hereford and it's got hops in it, what more do you need to know? Really beautiful creamy cheese, a bit like cheddar but slightly softer and much tastier.

Pont l'Eveque is heaven, I totally agree, and yes, Sage Derby, haven't seen that for ages and pages.

My faves are Appenzeller - the perfect smoky addition to emmenthal for fondue savoyarde, and St Agur (including Creme de St Agur even if it is downmarket, who cares?!?!). You can get it in British s/markets. Paroxysms of delight!

Munster is good, so is Tourré de l'Aubier and also, tome de savoie. I also like lots of little french cheeses with weird names. Can't recall 'em now, it's too late.

If I was to be shot at dawn, my last meal would be cheese fondue with a friskly little red wine. Cheese monsters of the world, unite!

Brie a mild cheese jsut eat with a selection of crackers

Chedder cheese with pickled onion is UMmmmmm

Try a cheese board with a selection of different types with serving of apple and grapes and crackers, and red or white wine.

Also look out for the sseasonal cheeses in Morrisons such as Mince Pie flavour and the cheddar and chocolate flavour.

I don't like cheese
