    What's your favourite cheese?

    What's your favourite cheese and why?

    If you have a picture, all the better(use google search).

    My favourite is MExicana Cheddar. It's fiery, has a great texture and melts in your mouth. Mmmmmmmmmmmm

    some nice strong mature cheddar

    as a matter of fact tho, i just had a small bit of "fiery mex" cheese that i found in the fridge

    im not really a fan of those fancy things, neither am i a fan of anything intentionally mouldy. i really dont see the attraction

    Chaource(pronounced, at least by me as "shaoorce") - its a very melty wee french number, quite salty taste, and if its been out for as long as it should have been, its 50/50 whether to dish it up with a knife or spoon

    Link to the wikipedia article:

    Ah yes, my beloved cheese

    I love all cheese, but i always seem to to come back to the good old Stilton. I make a mean Stilton and brocilli soup too, mmmmmm....

    BTW Steve, that mexicana is nice, i have some in my fridge right now. It's especially nice on toast The only thing i will say, as a bit of a cheese snob (although not really an expert, but i know what i like) is mexicana is a bit processed/fake, but still lovely.

    Dude are you hungry, you go on Xbox live and talk about how to cook mushrooms and now it on here and cheese lol

    I like any cheese so it has to be a cheese for the mood... right now some pan fried haloumi (salty creamy greek/cypriot cheese that has to be cooked - great barbecued) with crispy bacon and a Mortons (for all the Glaswegians) roll with tomato ketchup mmmmm

    If I had to be pushed for a fav then parmesan as you can do loads with it from nice crispy biscuits to a risotto or a nice crispy pancetta salad with parmesan croutons....


    Dagnammit now I'm hungry

    I'm sorry, but i don't believe you have never eaten cheese.

    But if you mean the stuff Funkster posted about, then the answer is 'not a lot'. Very bland, yet strangely enjoyable

    Gimme some Extra mature Cheddar, stronger the better - even with the white salty crystals on it

    I'm a tad fond of Lancashire & Picalilli sandwiches (I know they sound wrong.... but they are so right)

    Also, Cheshire - for use within my legendary Cheese & onion Pie

    Oh... why not just gimme the cheese counter at tesco - I'll have it all

    Some good cheeses there and some I need to try.

    For some reason I like that processed cheese, where you peel off the wrapping and can just drop it on top of a burger

    That is JUST wrong in so many ways

    Yes I'll eat it if needed on McDonalds etc but if I'm making my own burgers I love to whack a nice slab of mature cheddar on and grilling it slightly so it melts onto the burger

    Processed Cheese is not cheese in my eyes - its a chemcially formed cheese flavoured mass with E colours to make the kiddies hyperactive.

    I agree with Lee, it ain't cheese, good cheese is something most people don't seem to bother experiencing, which is crazy, considering theres a moderately good cheese counter in most supermarkets, and most people aren't that far away from proper cheese shops.
