More Cheese Please

Yeah, the wife and I go in for the Dubliner cheese. She also goes for the ancient British cheddars, which is a little to crunchy for my tastes. I mean, a little every now and then, but too strong for a whimp like me.

I hear ya pal. That's a whole food issue with me. If I bite into something crunchy, and I cannot explain why it is crunchy, I generally do not enjoy the eating experience.

Ukraine is fooling me too much. Everytime I see a nice and delicious looking cake and think it must be whipped cream or soufflé in the middle it's cheese.. Yuck. I love cheese, especially the strong one, but I also like whipped cream and fromage in my cakes. It's a bit odd, but my hunger for (real) cheese, sweets and whipped cream is constantly growing around here..

I really just seem to love everything about Oregon. All the microbrews, the food, the cool weather, the scenery. Every time we pass through Bend, OR I spend a couple weeks trying to convince my wife we should move there.

 

Really? I can't stand Bend, it's like a suburb without the adjacent urban area to qualify it as a suburb. Also cheese (Eastern Oregon is beef cattle country, not dairy cattle country anyway.)

Oh man, like those disgusting Butterfinger candy bars. Whatever that stuff is inside them it sure isn't peanut butter. Or peanuts.

Wow thats an interesting cheese. I have never tasted it before. I imagine its hard to get outside Sweden?

 

There have been some good posts made by others as well, its good to see that I am not the only cheese lover on the forums :)

We had a Swiss exchange student once. He wanted some Swiss cheese, and my mother went to just about every expensive, import-type deli around here. He still said they weren't ... "swiss" enough. Sharp? Tangy? Whatever that distinct flavor is. Which has always made me curious exactly what the Swiss cheese he was used to tasted like.

My first girlfriend was a French foreign exchange student and she loved cheese. She was a little bit of a snob about it, but otherwise she was quite nice. That was in 198... 4? 5? Something like that, so I don't know how our cheese stacks up against others' these days.

Thats a good story, your mom sounds like a really nice person. I don't think that Swiss cheese is sharp, but it does have a distinctive nutty taste/fruity taste. If you think about the famous Swiss cheeses like Gruyère, Emmentel and Appenzeller they have these characteristics. I also think that there tastes are improved when they are melted. Thats why the famous Swiss Cheese Fondue is so yummy.

Interesting fact, the USA has now surpassed France for the first time with the number of Cheeses it produces. So in my opinion the USA may not have the historical cheeses like Gorgonzola and Roquefort but it has an excellent and growing cheese industry
