Like Cheese?

[Ash]

Well, I've already tackled milk...
Now it's time for cheese!  

I know that there are hundreds of different kinds of cheese but I thought I'd narrow the list down to the types of cheeses most people regularly eat.

I voted for Mozzarella....awesome stuff!  
I buy those big rectangular hunks of Mozzarella and cut off thin slices with my pocket knife.
Sometimes, I'll buy a bag of Kraft shredded Mozzarella and eat it all right out of the bag.

It was a close tie with Swiss though.  There's nothing better than some stinky Swiss cheese. 
The stinkier Swiss cheese is...the better.

I debated whether or not to include White American cheese.
Even though I love the taste of it and it is a bit different than regular yellow American cheese, I've always jokingly referred to it as "The official cheese of the Ku Klux Klan."  
So I didn't include it.

How about you?

I don't like cheese unless it's on something like pizza or a taco, then I don't really notice which kind unless it stinks.

Colby! I like Parmesan on spagehtti,and mozzarella on lasanga, american on grilled chesse sandwhiches,pepperjack on roast beef sandwhiches,and velveeta on mac+cheese,with Lousiana Hot Sauce!!!
Now,my brother Glenn likes blue cheese,which to me smells like dirty socks.BLEECH!!!
Goat cheese is real good! When I was a little kid,an old Russian woman named Motka(Russian for Mother) made home-made goat cheese,which she served with some ass kick home-made cherry wine,and gulumpkis(stuffed cabbage)! YUMMY!!!

I went with Mozzarella. Just love the stuff.

What? No Camembert?

AlexB...it's on the list...down near the bottom.

I like all cheeses really, but I put pepper jack because I like spicy cheese. Those Italian cheeses are all good just like their movies. Went to Cabots Creamery Factory in Vermont and took the tour and at the end you could sample cheese.

How about a grilled cheese sandwich?

I voted for Swiss, 'cuz that's what I eat most of. Particularly, an Oscar Mayer Bun-Length wiener, wrapped in a slice of Food Lion Swiss cheese, in a Martin's potato role. Nuke it & drown it in catsup, and it tastes just like a pizza. Being a bachelor with a deficit in culinary skills, a cheese dog has pretty much been my breakfast, lunch & dinner every day for the last ten years, and I'm still not bored with it.

Of course, Mozzarella on a pizza, or American on a burger, or Chedder on fajitas is always good.

Cheeze Whiz...just cause it's the closest thing to "nacho" on the list.

I believe Nacho is really melted Cheddar with either picante or salsa sauce... or at least that's how they made back when I lived in Texas.

Pepperjack, since that's the one I use the most when I make sandwiches. Swiss is a close second.

But mostly I like cheese in or on stuff like others have said: pizzas, tacos, lasagna, in rotel dip, etc. Cheese is an ingredient, not something I eat on its own or as the main item.

Cheddar slivers and jalapeno slices microwaved over nachos is a favorite quick snack.

This poll makes me think of the Monty Python cheese shop sketch, lots of cheeses named, no actual cheese to be found.

[Dr. Whom]

Oops, I must have missed that. Anyway, it has got one vote now.

My favorite recipe for nachos is cheddar and chipotle pepper jack  with jalapeno chiles over tortilla chips, pop it in the microwave for 30-40 seconds and you have food fit for a king and of course a bottle of beer with this is nice.
This is another one of those things my doctor says will kill me so I don't get to enjoy this as often as I would like to, just occasionally
like once or twice a year.

There again like with the milk, I don't think there's a chesse on there that I haven't tried at one time or the other, including the limburger, which I am somewhat surprised to see listed, as who eats anything that smelly besides myself.

My parents, this was before I was born, had a cat, they had some limburger sitting on the counter in their kitchen, the cat, dislking the smell of the limburger, dragged the limburger off of the kitchen counter and behind the stove, where she proceeded to spray it thoroughly. Which, of course, made the limburger inedible.

Out here in Longmont, we have a store called The Cheese Emporium, which has things inside that would baffle John Cleese -- and you should know the skit I mean!
We have goat cheese made with wine and pecans, Stilton with ginger bits in (THIS is really extraordinary), Red Lechester with port wine, cheese made with whiskey, sheep cheese from Crete -- I could go on for pages/you get the picture.
Some of this you wouldn't throw at someone cutting you off in traffic -- other of it, and of course this is the very pricey stuff, is like heaven exploded in your mouth.
Here's to variety!  And, oh, I voted Gorgonzola as I didn't see Venezuelan Beaver . . .
