Ahhh cheese, as a Dutch person I can't get enough of it. So many kinds too. Simple Dutch young cheese, smooth and melting on the tongue. Sharp, hard French and British cheeses especially but Parmesan as well. To a lesser degree soft cheeses, but I adore me some Port Salut, proper mozzarella, a good bit of brie, feta sometimes.
Yeah, cheese is amazing. I can't wait until I can afford good cheese again.

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.
And that's why, for dietary purposes, it's a lot more helpful to simply lessen consumption considerably. To moderate, have 'cheat days', that kind of stuff. Makes it a lot easier to make dietary changes a habit, to keep them up for decades. Because when diet is concerned you have to think long term.

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.
*gasp* The vile concoctions that we export is nothing compared to the stuff we keep for ourselves. Gah, now I want me some classic Dutch cumin-cheese, well-matured, real Gouda and some creamy 'grass cheese'.
