When I was a kid I used to get milk at school. I don't remember the milk being lukewarn but the birds used to divebomb the caps and we used to fight to get the bottles that didn't have holes picked in the lids.

I love Leerdammer cheese as well. It does tend to alarm people who don't really eat cheese though when they see the holes in it.

Anybody have an ultimate grilled cheese recipe? I like to cook mine open-faced under the grill in my oven. I toast one side in the oven first, then put on some nice medium or old cheddar and thinly sliced tomatos sprinkled with oregano. Cook until cheese is nice and bubbly.

personally I favour spreading the lightly toasted bread with Indian lime pickle before adding sliced (not grated) cheese and a sprinkling of Paprika, then grilling in the oven. You have to let it cool a bit before you slice it though otherwise the melted cheese just slide off the warmed lime pickle

I love cheese. Sometimes cheese and crackers IS my dinner.

I like a lot of the really smelly ones too...so many I can't spell.

Gorganzolla or Goats cheese on pizza.

EDIT: Terry, Brie grilled cheese sandwiches are pretty good.

I've never had Brie. Perhaps I will try it! Cheese please! I want to try Camembert also. I've heard it's similar to Brie. Trivia: Gong's Camembert Electrique used to come with a Camembert smelling strip in the gatefold! I had a friend who said that he'd bought several sealed copies years ago and would occasinally crack open a new one to get the aroma.

Stilton is a nice cheese (maybe I spelled it wrong), as is camobare (that is certainly not spelt wright).

"Camembert" is the correct spelling I believe.

Still trying to find a source of Norwegian Brunost in Cheshire; now that's a darn tasty morsel!

I got hold of some of this Finest Canadian 3Yr Old Vintage Cheddar. Very strong cheese and bloody marvelous.

I mis-read that as 30 year old cheese and did a double-take :shock: That'd walk all the way from the fridge to the bin all by itself. I don't have any particular favourite cheese but at the moment I've got some Jarlsberg and that's rather nice.

My favourites to have as a treat are Wensleydale and Tuscan Brillo.

In general, to have on sandwiches and whatnot, I love a good Pepperjack.

I'm a fan of most cheeses, except those weird pre-shrunk-wrapped burger slices.

I've been to the Gouda museum in... Gouda in Holland. The cheese there was nice, but some Goudas here can be tasteless. Same with Edam and Leerdammer, depending on the brand etc... Emmental is good as well.

I'm probably slightly at odds with my family, who prefer the British/French cheeses that have to smell like a carcass and be ready to walk off the plate before they like them. I enjoy these cheeses as well, but they really steal all the limelight.

Pecorino is also good to cook with, though some examples again seem to drown out the flavour of whatever you are cooking unless you pare it with a sharp garlic taste or similar.

I would avoid this bad boy if I were you.

My Dad can no longer eat cheese, he has to monitor his cholesterol.
