I promised I'd make a cheese thread

I wouldn't want to be a liar.

So let's start with a good, solid cheese. Nay, a cheese of champions. I am of course talking about the golden god that is Edam, sitting atop its cheesy throne like a tsar of old, surveying the domain of mortals and ruling over the lesser cheeses with a firm but fair hand.

What makes this cheese so great? Versatility. It's not too strong or stinky, it doesn't smell like a bodily fluid spill (what on Earth are they doing in the dairies of France???), it's sturdy enough to make a keen doorstop and it tastes like a Roman orgy when melted or combined with nearly anything. It has near limitless potential, which puts it on a level above most of the human population. There, I said it. We all knew it was true. You won't see Edam shooting up a school or harvesting organs.[footnote]I could go for some kidneys and onions *smacks lips*.[/footnote]

Dare you challenge God's favoured cheese?

This thread is very cheesy.

On a side note, I miss cheese. Japan really doesn't do cheese very well and what they do is pricy.

I love any cheese that doesn't make my mouth itch. I'm a savage, I know.

I also despise those cheeses that they sell in the supermarket that moms buy for their kids' grilled cheese sandwiches. They taste so artificial.

They do pretty all right chocolate, though. Not that you can put that on cheese and make a tasty snack, but it's something.

I should make a chocolate thread...

Hmmm...if Yahtzee was a cheese, what whirlpool would be to his immediate left dressed as a Disney Princess?

I'm not a huge fan of Edam, it's too bland for my tastes. My top cheese has to be a five way split between Cheddar, Wensleydale, Brie, Port Salut and any soft goat's cheese. It's like having five children, you can't ask me to choose between them!

Blasphemy, Edam is not a cheese, it's reconstituted Dutch bicycle tyres sold to the world as cheese by the evil the burghers of Holland. The Cheese of the gods is clearly Cheddar, the cheese of the British. Not for the British the rubbery Dutch cheese, not for the British the soft flabby Cheese of the French. The British Cheese is firm, the British Cheese is musclecar, British Cheese can be used as substitute cannon balls, the British Cheese is unmatched.

Is... is your avatar saying "More cheese!" ? I can't stop seeing that now.

Ha, very close actually, I'm impressed. He's actually saying "More chocolate!", your suggestion fits me better though.

Japanese chocolate is okay, but they definitely make some kick-ass bread.

Did someone say cheese?!

I like all kinds of cheese. Cheddar, havarti, gouda, provolone, Wensleydale...hell, I even like the blasphemous plastic that is processed American when it's used for grilled cheese sandwiches.

One of my favorites is Monterey Jack due to its versatility. You can combine it with just about anything and it'll work well. It's a staple for my work lunches. Throw in some fruit, crackers, a boiled egg and dessert pastry and you've got a work meal that's simple, healthy and delicious.

No one has as many friends as the man with many cheeses!

At least they have cheese. In China, despite the general obsession with foreign imports, cheese is pretty much nonexistent.

Yeah, there is nothing better then a good old 6-pool all in and Zerg rush the shit out of them before they can even get a single marine out.
Muahahahahahahaha-....
...We were talking about that kinda Cheese, right?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Well as a good westcountry boy I've always loved Cheddar, but I was in the French Alps over the summer, and I've totally fallen in love with goat's cheese. It's fucking incredible. They also have this stuff called Reblochon, it's amazing, imagine Brie with a flavour more like Emmental, it's quite sweet and nutty.

 

[DefunctTheory]

I miss cheese. Recent self imposed dietary restrictions cut me off from one of my favorite foods. And I like all of it - Chedder, mozzarella, 'processed cheese products,' every single type I know of.

The problem I have now is that, by denying myself cheese, I've managed to turn it into a fetish. I can't trust myself around it, lest I eat 10 pounds of it at once, or take a block of it in a manly fashion. A conundrum if I've ever been in one.

 

[flying_whimsy]

I generally lean more towards the 'blander' cheeses like mozzarella and sometimes colby jack. Some fresh mozz on a sandwich or with some good crackers is my favorite.

I also really like the greek appetizer saganaki or opa flaming cheese. That stuff is awesome with pita bread. You can always tell a good greek restaurant if you can see scorch marks on the (lower) ceilings.

I once ate in a ski resort something with like a huge cheese wheel over an oven which you scrape the top and put on all kinds of things, one of the tastiest things I ever ate, does anyone know if there's a special name for that?

Sounds like a Raclette, which is also the name of one of the cheeses people use for the dish. Although the French bits of the Alps tend to prefer Reblochon cheese in the dish.

Cheddar, the stronger the better. The Northumberland Cheese Company also do a very nice one called the Northumberland Original, as well as a version flavoured with nettle.

Lots of things go well with cheese, particularly Branston Pickle, and Marmite.

Spoiler: this is the song of this thread, and my real contribution

I'm actually not that much of a cheese fan, but I like my pasta to be cheesy as fuck (parmesan, naturally, anything else with pasta is wrong objectively) so I guess that's my cheese of choice
