I love cheese
I love all cheese. Any kind, style, texture or color.
Provolone, cheddar, american, even that stuff you melt for nachos out of the box.

I LOVE CHEESE!

What's your favorite food?

1. Speaking of cheese...
Nothing beats fresh cheese curds, purchased right from the factory on the morning they were made ... unless it's bits of mozzarella, right out of the cooker, torn away from the big glob when the supervisors aren't looking, dipped in the brine, and surreptitiously munched.

That was the only good thing about my old job with a mozzarella equipment manufacturer.

8. I like almost all real cheese
I especially like the "blues": gorgonzola, stilton, roquefort, bleu, Maytag blue. One of my favorite cheeses was this Danish marinated feta, little cubes marinated in oil and spices but I never see it now. I also like goat cheese and how it picks up flavors so well.

18. My favorite uses of gorgonzola
Edited on Sat Dec-20-03 09:50 PM by Catfish
1. In a salad, especially good when paired with leftover boiled shrimp and a vinaigrette.

2. Make a gorgonzola butter and put on grilled asparagus.

Edit: 3. I forgot one of the best accidental combinations I've found: cold leftover grilled salmon, avocado and crumbled gorgonzola.

However, I like it just plain.

4. I went to a Christmas party this afternoon and ate cheese the whole time!
My sister-in-law had all this amazing cheese. I tried this Spanish cheese called Campo de Montalban. Yum! I eat cheese almost everyday in some form, but Pizza is my favorite food.

10. life is so much betta when you smell the feta
My apologies to any "Bear in the Big Blue House" fans who aren't going to be able to get that song out of their head now.

Besides feta, I love sharp cheddar and gouda the best.

11. Stop it!
I'm allergic to milk! You are making me sad sad sad! Back when I used to eat it, I really liked gjetost, the carmelized Norwegian stuff.

13. allergic? My condolences.
I rarely drink the stuff, but going without dairy alltogether would be hard for me.

16. Thats why I cheat!
ok, rarely, I'll have a taste of cheese, but milk, cream, ice cream etc- no way. This is a sucky time of year to be allergic- you'd think I'd be wasting away, but no such luck.

21. Relatively close to my house is Brennan's market
I asked the cheese guy once how many cheeses they had. He said it's somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000. (They had about 10 of them as samples today!) Everything from 5-year-aged cheddar to Tasmanian bush pepper to smoked string cheese. Mostly American but some imported. All reasonably priced. (It's actually cheaper to buy the good stuff at Brennan's than it is to by Kraft chunks at the supermarket.)

But if you want super-gourmet cheese (cave-aged Roquefort, buffalo mozzarella), Sendik's on Capitol. They have a walk-in cheese room!

Living in Wisconsin has its perks.
