Exploring the Wonderful World of Cheese

[Catseye3]

Foodies may disagree with me (with reason), but I'd recommend you avoid the brands of Brie and Camembert you commonly find in American stores. Boring.

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.

So any suggestions for what to try next?

Lipitor.

What does that pair with?

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.

And, of course, Wensleydale....

Everybody likes cheddar, right?

Are you kidding me?

No sane person likes cheddar.

I am particularly fond of Cheshire cheese.

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

[LuFins Dad]

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.

Gorgonzola is nice, and smelly. I love blue cheese.

I put gorgonzola (or blue cheese) onto steaks....

It's nice in a burger, too.

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.
