Your favourite genre of cheese?

[rubbershoes]

Blue cheese

especially Devon Blue. mmmmmm

though if i could only have one cheese for the rest of my life it would have to be cheddar

 

[Funky_monks]

COTTAGE CHEESE IS NOT CHEESE!!!!!

Correct. It's curds and whey.

 

[lynne8]

gotta be parmigiano reggiano. Not in a sandwich, nice aged cheddar for that, but nothing beats savouring a thin slice of parmesan.

 

[i-am-your-idea]

definately goats cheese

 

[Pip]

They're all marvellous, there's no way I could choose.

 

[torquemad]

Gorgonzola is brill.

But I have a new favourite which is good old-fashioned Cheddar. But no ordinary Cheddar this. Oh no, it's Isle of Bute from Sainsburys.

Well nice with Rough Oatcakes, or on its own for that matter.

 

[guinnessdrinker]

I like it in a sandwich with baby lettuce, caremelised onions and balsamic vinegar

If you like parmigiano reggiano you should try Pecorino Romano, it's similar but much nicer.

I couldn't choose one but my current favourites are:

Red Leicester
Cheddar
Feta
Pecorino Romano
Manchego
Buffalo Mozzarella
Halloumi
and I tried an Italian cheese the other day called Piccante which was lush.

 

[Jayshat]

Personally I prefer good, simple old cheddar, although I do have a soft spot for feta too.

See poll.

That is the first time I have seen 'genre' in a sense other than for entertainment. I like it.

there is no point in red leicester, it's tasteless crap.

guinnessdrinker knows what he is talking about.

I like semi-soft cheese best. Strong smelly feet cheeses like pont leveque and stinking bishop; the slightly less sharp semi-softs like comte and celtic promise, and the milder tasting but still bloody lovely ones like morbier and raclette.

 

[sojourner]

Feta

Mozzarella

Ricotta None of which are on the bleedin poll

The poll has cottage cheese in it, therefore is hopeless & worthless.

RenegadeDog should be burned at the steak for such heresy.

 

[SubZeroCat]

In no particular order:

Mozzarella
Brie
Red Leicester
St Agur
Isle of Bute cheddar
Halloumi
Emmental
Cornish yarg
Chevre (the proper French stuff)

I think that's about it for now....

Steak and cottage cheese?

 

[hiccup]

I flirt with other cheeses, but always come back to a nice mature cheddar.

 

[EastEnder]

Steak and cottage cheese?

Obviously.

Meat is murder, cottage cheese is worse.

 

[sojourner]

Um.

Okay


Why is it called cottage cheese though? Does anyone know?

Well I suppose if they'd called it "rancid knob cheese like vomit inducing dribbly crap grown in festering cesspits", the sales figures might have been a tad sluggish.

You know, I'd never thought about it like that before
