Cheese is about the best tasting thing on earth.

[XemaSab]

I could go vegan, but for cheese. :)

[Danger Mouse]

1. some cheese is alright.

i used to work with cheese. gave me knowledge and appreciation, but in general, i don't go for cheese.

[XemaSab]

4. Dinner is beans and rice

con queso y salsa.

Those little cheese pockets are doing me up right. :)

[Danger Mouse]

6. blech =P

i'm very picky about cheese.
some of it is just plain disgusting.
blue cheese? vile.

[XemaSab]

10. California cheddar

I didn't used to be into cheddar, but sometimes it gets the job done.

Blue cheese is good in TEENY bits, but if there's a lot of it, gross. :P

[Danger Mouse]

43. Something I got once had blue cheese in it...accidentally...

it tasted like hot :puke:

I've had the finest in cheeses, and I know what I like.
My favorites are Cotswold (with chives and onion) Red Dragon (with mustard seeds) and English Farmhouse Cheddar with imported Green Vegetable Pickle on the side.
:9

[ashling]

33. I have to agree with your assessment of bleu cheese

however, I have resolved to be more adventurous in trying cheeses.

As a rule, I don't like soft or fresh cheeses like cream cheese, but I like ricotta in stuff, and Mozerella, so ....

I like a lot of Italian aged cheeses like Parmagian (Parmesan?), Romano, Asiago

I love cheddar!

[hippywife]

40. I used to feel the same way

about bleu cheese a very long time ago and then I started eating buffalo wings. With chunky bleu cheese dressing. Before long, I was only eating the wings for the dressing. They became nothing but the delivery system for what I really craved...the bleu cheese! Now I love bleu and gorgonzola on so many things! Sometimes just by themselves. Awesome!

51. SILENCE! CAAANNE!

55. Dear Elrond...

we need to "work" on your food pyramid :P

[ashling]

63. That is so 1970

These days the USDA uses the Food Tetrahedron
:rofl:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Cheese!

I'll eat damn near anything if there's enough melted cheese on it. :loveya: cheese.

[grace0418]

3. I could NEVER give up cheese.

It's one of the greatest food pleasures in life.

[Skittles]

39. I hate any kind of diet that makes you give up ANYTHING

everything in moderation I say - you can have whatever you want, you simply cannot have AS MUCH as you want :D

[Generic Brad]

5. Cheese is the Sh'zizzle

[RushIsRot]

7. Extra sharp cheddar is delicious, but you can keep your feta.

[EMdamascus]

41. I'm with you on that, Extra sharp for me

But none of that soft stinky stuff...

[grace0418]

45. It's goat cheese for me. And St. Andre, gouda, brie, Dubliner...

The list goes on. Most of them I don't even know the name. My local cheese shop gives me a taste, I buy some, love it, then have no idea what I just ate. Although a good old sharp cheddar is lovely as well.

[LeftyMom]

8. It's the casomorphines.

Your body's supposed to respond to them, they're there to keep mammalian babies on the tit. Only they get concentrated a lot more in cheese than in human milk, and they play with the opiate receptors. It's all a chemical thing.

Once you stop eating the stuff, it really loses it's appeal after a few weeks. The addiction wears off.

[Sugar Smack]

12. I have a love-hate relationship with your post.

:P On the one hand, I've gone vegetarian again, and I may try what you're talking about (good to know) because I feel a bit addicted. On the other hand, WAAAAAH!!!!!

[LynzM]

27. I feel the same...

It's weird to think that eventually I wouldn't miss it, that I'm addicted, so to speak. My diet is so f'd anyway, being diabetic, that I'm not sure I could manage being vegan, too.

[XemaSab]

15. I went vegan for about 2 months

and lemme tell ya... I felt OWNED by dairy. OWNED I tell ya.

Like, I would become OBSESSED with ice cream and other really intense dairy products I don't usually eat.

It was sort of like the sausage craving when I went vegetarian, but one hundred times worse. :(

[Droopy]

9. A woman who loves cheese is the woman for me.

Will you marry me, XemaSab?

[XemaSab]

16. Maybe

How do you feel about cilantro? :shrug:

[Droopy]

19. I'm, just a humble peasant

What is this cilantro that you speak of?

[Sugar Smack]

20. Take a nice bite out of a cake of Dial soap.

:rofl: That's cilantro.

[Droopy]

22. LOL! Then I guess XemaSab really isn't interested.

Especially if she'd make me eat that shit. :)

[XemaSab]

23. It's the flavor of *ignored*

and you're about to taste it. :P

[Sugar Smack]

24. Hey, it's genetic! I think you should post a cilantro

thread in GD and see the fires that rage there. :P

[XemaSab]

28. GD :P work for you?

:shrug:

[Sugar Smack]

29. Oh, I'll cheerfully admit I don't have much of a clue about what

goes on in GDP. Although, the thought of a cilantro thread on THAT forum cracks me up. :patriot:

Viva la DU.

[Droopy]

25. That's alright. That's what most women do to me.

Ain't no thing. :)

[krispos42]

11. Cheese, chocolate, and bacon

I don't think there is any food on earth that can't be improved by the addition of at least one of those...


I want my last meal to be a big chunk of monteray jack cheese. When they throw the switch, I wanna bubble and turn brown...

:rofl:

[CorpGovActivist]

13. Cheese, bacon, and bread...oh, and potatoes

[krispos42]

14. Mmmmmm.... hash browns....

:drool:

[CorpGovActivist]

21. Biscuits 'n gravy...Chicken 'n dumplin's

OK. I just raided the fridge.

:rofl:

[krispos42]

26. Both bacon dishes...

I'm making dinner right now. Taquitos!


(bachleor, can you tell?)

[ashling]

35. We just got our new chest freezer pretty fully stocked

The good thing about having a well stocked freezer
is that there is always something to eat.

The bad thing about having a well stocked freezer (pats overhanging tummy)
is that there is always something to eat.


Excuse me a minute while I go see if the freezer light is still working.
:rofl:

[krispos42]

49. LOL n/t

[CorpGovActivist]

59. Thank you for a lovely memory: my Maw Maw's two - count 'em, two - chest freezers.

I can still hear the squeak of the one that was locked in the old smokehouse. It held the ice cream sandwiches.

:hi:

[ashling]

60. It was like an arceological dig

The deeper you dug in the freezer, the older things were until they were entirely unrecognizable.

[CorpGovActivist]

61. Huge family. There was never a bottom layer to the dig.

:toast:

Hence, two chest freezers.

Full of love. And at least one treat for every child and grandchild. Just theirs.

[leeroysphitz]

17. Yes. I love it TOO much. n/t

[Inchworm]

18. gargonzola

I'd slay dragons for it

true story.

:hi:

[He loved Big Brother]

30. Agreed.

I even switched to Soy Delicious for my ice cream, which was my only other non-vegan addiction.

Plus, if you eat the whole pint, you get 100% of your daily fiber. (joke)

But unfortunately, cheese isn't something that can be duplicated as deliciously.

Vegan cheese is awesome, but only when MELTED, and blended in with other nice vegan ingredients. Luckily I live two blocks from a co-op, so I can buy the most cruelty-free cheese, from local farmers, and on the cheap.

I'll just add that vegan meats are, for the most part, tastier than regular meats. I think it's because the "yuck" factor of eating dead flesh is removed, and a ton of yummier spices are added out of necessity. It's still unhealthy, and packed with sodium, but it gives my occasional craving for meat a nice fix.

[Adsos Letter]

31. Tillamook specially aged...in the black wrapper...yum

or...that bright orange stuff the gals at Cowgirl Creamery make...yowza !

[Fox Mulder]

32. Yuck.

Whenever I order pizza from Pizza Hut, I always order pizza (online) with no cheese. They always end up calling me and confirming my order because they can't believe someone would order pizza without cheese.

[Oeditpus Rex]

34. I have, of late, re-discovered feta

Sprinkle a bit on a burger and it's like my tongue comes.

I believe I shall next try this with bleu cheese, or perhaps gorgonzola.

For sammiches, generally aged Swiss, provolone or mozzarella.

Alone, smoked gouda, muenster or edam. Maybe a sharp cheddar.

[XemaSab]

37. Here's the deal:

Go to the nearest TJ's and get:

1. A bottle of two buck chuck merlot.

2. Rosemary foccacia.

3. Goat cheese.

4. Tofurky deli slices.


It's like Fitzmas in your mouth. :9

[TheMightyFavog]

36. Wisconsin cheese > Vermont Cheese > California Cheese

End of Discussion.

[XemaSab]

38. Go back to FR, troll...

:eyes:

Only a FReeper can hate on California cheese. :cry:

[flvegan]

42. Yeah, but if folks gave up cheese, what would we do without the veal?

A decrease in cheese demand (or milk in general) would be a huge blow to the veal industry.

I'm bad.

:evilgrin:

[LaurenG]

48. You are, but in a Good way.

a "pugilist" for the critters.

[Deja Q]

44. I have no words, for one picture says a thousand of them for me:

:hurts:

[porphyrian]

46. "Somebody shut that bloody bazouki player up!" - Cheese Shop Patron - n/t

[Ellen Forradalom]

47. That's my big stumbling block too.

There's a cheesemonger who sets up a stand at the Calabasas Farmers Market. That vendor has deprived me of much money and put a couple of pounds on me. I have to reroute myself around the stand for a couple of weeks.

[Zoigal]

50. Try a bite of Cambozola or Saint Augur for a real treat. z

Trader Joe's has cambozola. Kind of a cross between camembert and gorgonzola.
German.

[CreekDog]

52. Cheese is so gouda

:P:

[Fleshdancer]

53. I had some yummy cheese last night

The first was a bleu cheese made with goats milk. The second one (my favorite) was a yummy brie with mushrooms in it. :9

on edit: I used the wrong emoticon

[pingzing58]

54. Spanish Manchego, yummmy.

[harmonicon]

56. I'm a vegan, but I allow cheese and other dairy

... and red meat, eggs and poultry. Also honey. Ok, anything that isn't seafood.

Maybe that doesn't count, but I'm just as much a vegan as those smarmy fuckers who say "I'm a vegetarian, but I eat fish".

[LeftyMom]

57. Oh god, you had me going there for a second.

I was about to get all wound up and stabby.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

58. Cheese is divine.

I would never go vegan, simply because, like you say, cheese = the bomb. I love it, obsessively.

:)

[hfojvt]

62. Did you read the story by Mark Twain

The one with two guys on a train with a casket and somebody puts a block of cheese in the train car without them knowing it, and it stinks up the whole car?

I call Parmesan cheese "puke cheese" because that is what it smells like.

[Trajan]

64. People are so picky ....

I love ALL cheese ....

I dont think I have ever found a cheese I didnt say 'YUM' after eating some ....

Bleu cheese : Try a Black and Blue burger at Old Market Pub in Portland OR (Blackened 'cajun' patty with bleu cheese on top) - Absolutely luscious ....

BTW: head cheese isnt really cheese ....
