The Cheese Thread
What are your favorites? Be specific! And if you have obscure picks be sure to describe the tastes and textures, and say where they come from if you know. It's also encouraged to list good accompaniments for your cheeses like wines, meats, breads, certain crackers. I'm not a cheese snob (yet) but I'm sure we have a few just waiting in the wings for a thread like this. Prove your connoisseurship here!
My favorites are New York Cheddar, extra sharp, and Gouda. These are probably pretty lame cheeses to have as favorites but I'm hoping this thread will expand my cheese horizons a bit. |

Re: The Cheese Thread
Cabot cheddar is far superior to New York cheddar.
My favorite "snob" cheese is St. Andre, which is like Brie but creamier and with a smoother taste. -McGee |

Re: The Cheese Thread
Good thread idea.
Straight I like colby-jack or cheddar. (In that order) For sandwiches, I like swiss, meunster, provolone depending on other ingredients. |

Re: The Cheese Thread
I like pepper jack. It adds a little kick to your otherwise ordinary sandwich.

Re: The Cheese Thread
It is my understanding that the best cheeses are illegal in the U.S. because they aren't pasteurized. I imagine there is some sort of cheese black market.
