Yummy!!!!!!!! Of course, a nice glass of wine with that too!

I love cheese

i just googled illegal cheese, couldn't find anything. but the italians take cheese seriously, i wouldn't be surprised. it probably harbored some dangerous bacteria.

NO. L.C. that's just wrong! Stilton is English, hard and mouldy. Gorgonzola is Italian.. soft like French brie but erm, mouldy.

Wenslydale with cranberries is really nice..and sainsbury's do a nice cheshire with ginger..."drool"

have you ever been to Cheddar on your travels to the U.K.? A little pocket of Somerset, which is a very beautiful county. And they do really good cheese.:rolleyes:

I thought they did fried Mars Bars.

Sharp cheddar or a good "Monkey" Jack... that's Monterey Jack to you folks.



Believe it or not, one of the Gallo brothers (Joseph) makes an absolutely

EXCELLENT cheese. On the dryish side, which I really like but oh-so-flavorful.



Then there's the ubiquitous Aritchoke Heart Dip:



1 can artichoke hearts (NOT marinated kind) chopped.

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup shredded parmesan



Mix together, bake in 350 degree oven until done. Spread on

crackers or good sourdough French



Optional: Mix in some fresh DUNGENESS CRAB for a real tasty treat.



Warning: This is NOT low-cal or low fat, just GOOD!!

I've never tried artichokes, the look of them puts me off.

Limberger Cheese Spread

1 lb. limberger cheese (in glass jar)

1 lb. butter (not margarine)

1 small to medium yellow onion, chopped

1 glass or ceramic bowl - NOT a plastic one



1. Bring unopened cheese and butter to room temperature.

2. In bowl, beat the cheese and butter together by hand until well mixed.

3. Add chopped onion and mix well.

4. Cover tightly with several layers of plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

5. Refrigerate several hours, preferably overnight for the flavors to meld.

6. No matter what you do, your refrigerator will smell in the morning.

7. Serve with saltine crackers and lots of good beer!

I love most kinds of cheese. Craved swiss cheese when I was pregnant with my daughter & HATED it before then. Now I LOVE it. But I also love, colby jack, monterey jack, cheddar, american, provolone, port wine, blue cheese, parmesian... gosh just too many to remember!!!

Great!! Now my belly's growling again!

mine too gosh a few slices of cheese, some delicate crackers and a good wine, hmmm sounds like a good evening to me hehehehe

Land O Lakes makes some snack size chedder slices. My daughter loves these for a snack. My favorite cheese is gouda and Longhorn chedder. Nothing like frying up a hamburger then adding some diced green chili's then slices of chedder.

I love ALL cheeses but favor Blue Vein, Camembert,Gouda and Black Diamond Aged Chedder.

Oh Man... I LOVE CHEESE..... gasp and groan.... Fresh cheeses like ricotta and chevre.... gasppppp groan.. Gentle cheeses like Red Leicester, cheddahs. There;s some great regional aussie cheeses in this category - and especially in the vintage mega tasty kick-ass category. Moment of passionate contemplation....

Ahhh everything from King Island (near Tasmania).... dairy heaven.

Nutty ones like Swiss cheeses, emmentaler, gruyere, Jarlesburg... And then there' s all the Greek cheeses... SWOON.

And wonderful blue cheeses. Can anything beat a real Stilton?? Well a good Rocquefort comes close... Then there's Italian hard cheeses, buy them in blocks not pre powdered...



For dessert - nothing beats a good cheese plate, with maybe a spot of quince paste..... and some good water biscuits.

I can't go on... I gotta go and raid the fridge instantly... I mean,... who needs loving when you can have cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wah: Oh you have that right I LOVE cheese. I am somewhat addicted to the stuff. Not a day goes by when I don't think about having some, I may as well just be a mouse. :rolleyes:

Cheese is the food I always cite as my favourite. The sharper or more mature the better. I can feel my arteries narrowing right now as my mouth starts watering. I had the embarrassing situation where I ate so much cheese at my wedding reception that I had to leave for a couple of hours to throw it all up.

Not quite as bad as a mate of mine at a bash we went to. He picked up a bread roll and cut it in half, and then placed a whole block of cheese on it (About 4" x 4" x 7") and wolfed the lot down with plenty of beer to assist. I think he had a pudding as well (not cheesecake though)

buy some blue, gorgonzola or stilton. then melt it slowly with some cream, pour it over some cooked penne, and scoff it down! oh, and grind some pepper over it, lots!

Mmmm Now you're talkin' LC:yh_drool

lady cop wrote: how about cooking with cheese? any good recipes?


Yep. We make a dip with velveeta.

2 pounds of velveeta. Melt in a pot or microwave.

2 pounds of ground beef. Brown in skillets and drain

I can of RoTel chiles and diced tomatos.

Mix it together and use chips of your choice. It seems to me that if you refrigerate it it gets hotter.

My daughter & I used to make a taco salad when she was living at home. We'd use a big jar of Cheez Whiz over a pound of hamburger, drained. Then we'd tear up lettuce, cut tomatoes & put them in bowls & add the burger/cheese mix. Crumble Doritos over the top. YUMMMMMY!!!

WooHoooo! Pam!! You got me drooling. I love pepperjack. That and crackers and a red wine or beer. Wish I had some last nigit when I watched the Superbowl.

I thought the Steelers should have lost but they got lucky on the refs calls. I really was rooting for them but they were not the Steelers of old.

WILD THING!

One of my great weaknesses is eating samples in the supermarket. At the deli counter one day was a plate of cheese with bits of chocolate in. I thought

"Hmm.....Cheese AND chocolate, the dream combo...what's not to like?"

I helped myself to a couple of one inch cubes and within several nanoseconds it became clear that this really was an ill marriage with two tastes colliding.

The taste was so powerful and disgusting (even worse than the dog food I tried) that no matter how much I ate, drank or brushed my teeth, I couldn't get rid of it for over a day:yh_sick .

A few weeks later when I went in with my daughter, I issued fair warning, but as she thought I was joking, she threw a couple of these far from toothsome morcels down the hatch. She reported the all clear just under 24 hours later.

You have been warned.

You need a Camembert or other type of small whole cheese that comes in a wooden box.

Take it out of its wrapping, put it back in the box and then in a pre-heated oven at 200c/400f for 30 mins

Eat with a baguette
