Cheese is good inside your mouth

I am bored in my life, or rather by my joblessness, so I've been eating cheese. It sounds pathetic, sure, but then you think about it and realize that you go to work while I'm at home just eating cheese. So, who's the loser, really? You! Loser.

Today's cheese: Delice De Bourgogne. A soft, triple cream, brie-like, cow milk cheese. Not as pungent as I've told (unless we're talking about the rind, which I'm a big fan of. Edible rinds are my thing-I've decided this), but has a noticeable sweetness to it. I like this cheese! What cheese do you like?

    Never been a fan of those softer "brie-like" cheeses. Give me a good, sharp cheddar any day.

    Or Mozzarrella.

    Or Swiss.

    Or Provolone.

    Or... mmmm... cheese... *drool*
    Seriously, cheddar is amazing.

    Extra-sharp cheddar for solo-cheese experience, wherein I cut off thin slices with a knife and enjoy.

    Provolone for turkey sandwiches.

    Colby jack just because.

    Bleu cheese for all your buffalo sauce related exploits.

    I enjoy various Tillamook cheeses. I was able to walk through their factory in Tillamook, Oregon about two weeks ago when I was out there in vacation. They have a big table full of samples at the end of the self-guided tour. It was excellent.

    I have picked up a habit of brie and baguettes. I highly recommend it. Trader Joe's has some decent variety, and good prices (cheapest brie I know of).

    Whole Foods has an amazing selection of cheeses.

    Having no experience with the job description, it seems like that could backfire quite easily if you had to eat a product whose quality could not be assured.

    Stupid America with your irrational (read:semi rational) fear of intestinal parasites and your pasteurization ruining the flavor of any fresh milk cheeses sold commercially.

    Soft cheeses are a whole different league in Europe. I'm a pretty USA, USA guy when it comes to food but man alive american soft cheese largely blows.

    Hard cheeses? Some of the best in the world. You'd think the pasteurization would ruin those too, but nope. USA! USA! USA!

    We get plenty of raw milk cheeses here.

    They're just special purchases.

    Also most of the population eats cheese in boring ways.

    I have the weirdest palate ever.

    I cannot tolerate cheese unless it is neutralized by tomatoes. Lasagna? Pizza? Delicious. Cheeseburgers? As long as they have tomato/ketchup.

    But cheese by itself? Nachos? Mac and Cheese? Cream cheese? Even cheese flavored Doritos. All of them disgusting.

    Yes! Not that I have your condition (or would do something as filthy as mixing ketchup and cheese, you filthy pervert), but goddamn I love cheese and tomatoes. It's my mother, you see. She made me cheese & tomato sandwiches all the time when I was wee. Cheese and tomatoes are awesome.

    most of that stuff you just listed does not qualify as cheese

    more like edible plastic

    That is a terrible curse you have.

    To this day I do not GET the whole "cheese and tomatoes" thing. I may be missing tastebuds or something. I enjoy the hell out of pasta dishes with cheese, sure, hell my grandma makes cheddar spaghetti (trying to kill us all obviously) but I just don't get the whole soft mozzarella/tomato thing.

    Blu Cheese for the win. My favorite is valdeon, a minerally, salty hard blue from spain. It's wrapped in oak leaves! I also love Roquefort and Stilton. Gorgonzola is a little runny for me.

    Most people here in the states probably don't understand the greatness of authentic Parmesan. That stuff that comes in a shaker? F that.

    I like provolone for most sandwiches, especially hot sandwiches because it melts well - it retains shape, but becomes really soft. Pepper jack is another good one for sandwiches, too.

    For straight up eating-cheese, I'm a fan of colby jack or gouda.

    I learned recently that colby jack is amazing with a baked potato along with sour cream.

    --

    The notion of using that powdered Parmesan crap for anything other than soaking up all the oil on a pizza or something simply does not function in my brain.

    Had a really nice raw milk Parmesan a few years ago. Will get some more when my expenses allow.
