Heartland 'hearts' cheese?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Just like the beers, I like Belgian Cheese as well: Oud Brugge, Maredsous, Grimbergen...

But the best cheese there is is, surprisingly, a Dutch one.

So vintage even looking at it makes your earlobes tingle. ;D

Feta's nice.
Smoked cheese is my favourite, but there is also Emmental and Leerdammer. Droolworthy.

For stronger stuff, mature cheddar is delicious.

Currently in the fridge: An undistinguished but decent Irish cheddar (what do you want from an American supermarket?).

No longer in the fridge because I ate it all up: A yummy Welsh white cheddar (might have been Abergavenny, but don't quote me on that).

Eating even as I type:

Humboldt Fog Cypress Grove chèvre, on lovely chewy Italian bread. Polio pot isn't the only good thing that comes out of those woods. ;D

Hhm, that looks very tasty. I love such cheese, just like the common Cambozola, Roquefort, any type of sheep and goat cheese

... together with some olives ... or grapes ... or water melon ... ah, wonderful ... ;D ;D ;D

Various Hawes creamery Wensleydale cheeses.

(Wensleydale should have a Protected Designation of Origin status like Roquefort IMO -- it's only Wensleydale if it comes from Wensleydale! Edit: I see that they're applying for it)

I could spend hours nomming the free samples at the Hawes creamery.

And hamburger is squashed cow; a bacon and egg sarnie is the romantic marriage between a cut up animal that rolls around in the mud and something that comes out of a chickens' butt.

If it tastes good, it was meant to eat. Man knows that for millions of years.

Cheese is just NOM! ;D

That's a very Asian opinion you've got there. :wink:

Of course, they eat fermented soybean muck that smells like unwashed gym socks, and tastes about as good. :urff:

Camembert on the barbie.

BBQ till runny (mark with X to check).

Then provide everyone with a lump of french bread and start spooning it out with the bread.

People worried about getting fat now REALLY don't have to comment! :lol:

Fond memories of my uncle making raclette in Switzerland - melted cheese, crusty bread, 17 bottles of wine, and three nights worth of cheese-induced dreams! :lol:

That's all big factory rubbish, doesn't even come anywhere near proper artisan's cheese. :| Raw milk extra belegen Dutch farmer's cheese is the one you want, can't find it anywhere outside of Holland but it's stunning. Or May cheese, it's made from the first milk you get after the cow's have gone out and had proper grass. Really stunning stuff that :notworthy:

BBQ Camembert is a treat indeed btw :D

Other than that I'm a definite blue cheese man. Don't like the French varieties, they're a bit too artificial for my liking, but a Stilton, Shropshire Blue or Gorgonzola always go down pretty nicely :D :notworthy: Not to mention Port Stilton, mmmm...

I could go on :D
Styles are a lie.

HUGE fan of Stilton - omnomnomnomnom. Also some of the softer french cheeses - there's a cheese-shop near me that does a lovely imported artisanal thing from Normandy that you can smell three streets away at the height of its powers, has Cardiac Arrest written all over it and you can eat with spoon if you like but I prefer it with a warm baguette from the bakery down the street and a bottle of street-fighting red wine - Malbec holds its own, I find.
