Your Favourite Cheese

[2066]

I absolutely love Greek or Bulgarian/Macedonion feta cheese. I'm eating some right now. Old Canadian cheddar rocks too. Parmasan, mozzarella...give it to me! Any cheese fans out there? Any cool, weird cheeses I've never heard of? Cheese it up!

I can't remember what is is called but there is this wonderful nutty tasting, sweet, dark brown Norwegian goats cheese that is just the business - I'm just off to Google it now

This is from Wikipedia:

Geitost has a strong, sweet, yet somewhat sharp flavor with notes of caramel and goat's milk. It is often used as an open sandwich topping, on bread or malt loaf, or together with lefse. Geitost and lefse are used in some areas as a side dish to lutefisk.

Geitost is also used in game sauces, often together with juniper berries. It gives such sauces a more subtle, caramel taste.

Thanks, man! Now I have to go and find a Norwegian!!! Anybody evere tried Haloumi? It sounds good. I have a recipe for that in a Nigella Lawson (.)(.) book.

You used to be able to buy it from a stall in Bolton Market and I once also found it in a specialist shop in Manchester. The best source was my ex-wife's best friend who was from Lillehammer in Norway and used to bring back supplies every few months or so. The loss of a souce of Geitost was a small price to pay though ....

I really like Gouda and other "bland" dutch cheeses.

However, the perfect antidote to those cheeses is "Stinking Bishop", a cheese which actually takes its name from a variety of pear (wtf?!) and is VERY strong. Imagine a brown sticky cheese that actually crawls about the plate and you have it.

On a side note, the french have a cheese that they put maggots in (or flies eggs?) and eat it with them still wriggling inside. Lunacy.

Oh gross! I think I would lose my lunch if that were the case. Chunk blowing 101!!!

Morbier has ashes in it!!! That's not a bad cheese, but it can be a tad pungent.

Chunk blowing ftw! Imagine putting it in a lunch box and having those maggots overrun everything in sight!
