I love brie and camembert. What I really love is Cambazola, a German mix of blue and triple cream. Delcious with a Lipitor chaser.
if looking for ideas, visit Zingerman's in Ann Arbor website.

If you can get actual French-made Camembert or Brie, I'd definitely go for it. They sell it at our local Trader Joe's, but I've not seen it anywhere else.
For British stuff:
Blue Stilton is v. nice, if you like blue cheese. Some people are turned off by the thought of mold.
Double Gloucester is delicious.

I was at Wegmans the other day and staring at the huge stacks and wheels of cheese in their “cave” and feeling overwhelmed. Like a typical middle class American, my cheese knowledge is pretty limited, so I decided every week we would pick out two new cheeses buy and snack on throughout the week. Since I didn’t know how Karla was going to like it, I decided to start basic and get a couple of different cheddar cheeses. Everybody likes cheddar, right? So I went simple with a block of 18 month NY Cheddar and a wedge of a white horseradish cheddar. Both were great. It surprised me how well the sharp cheddar worked with sliced apple...
So any suggestions for what to try next?

Are you kidding me?
No sane person likes cheddar.

Lancashire is nice, too - quite similar to Cheshire, but not as acidic

How about something really stinky?
But still tastes good?

Yes it is good. Another that we often buy is Red Leicester. It's quite difficult to find good Cheshire around here and when you do find it, it is damned expensive.

Appenzeller can sometimes be a tad stinky, but yummy.

I always, always, put blue cheese on my burgers (or gorgonzola).
Actually, when we were in New Orleans last time, we dropped into a hole in the wall on Magazine Street. You could get a brat, with any combination of toppings you want.
I chose grilled onions and blue cheese.
On. A. Brat.
It was great, and now, when we have brats, that's what I do!

An aged Gouda. 18mo min. Very different than regular gouda. Almost has a wine flavor.
Manchego. Put it on a piece of baguette with fig jam. Heaven.

Under no circumstances should you take Jon up on his offer of tasting his stinky bishop
