Had Havarti and dill last weekend on crackers after a ride. Out in central Oregon with about 50 of my closest riding buds. Popped a bottle or 5 of Deschutes Jubleales, and all of this contributed to taking the edge off the previous work week.:evil:

MMMMM cheese. I've been chowing the Old Amsterdam aged gouda lately, yum. That and burrata, as well as good chevre. And there's always a chunk of good Parmesano Reggiano in my fridge as well as a piece of Gruyere for those grilled cheese attacks.

But damn I hate blue cheese and will shout it from the mountaintops.

In the bathroom, fighting a battle
kraft singles is where its at

but seriously baked brie with some crackers as an apatizer is about as good as you can find.
or blue cheese melted over a filet mingon with a red wine sauce although thats more of a meat than a cheese I guess

If you Bake Brie Wrapped with Filo Dough, it makes a damn good appetizer. :drool:

i think I can safely say, I love all cheese. even the super stinky stuff, i might even say, the stinkier the better.

i once thought the same as you, but then i tried Epoisses, which was supposedly napoleon's favorite. it almost killed me, and stunk up my apartment like none other.



my thoughts on cheeses from an old email:

Toshi said:
Stilton - a blue cheese, good with fruit
Aged Gouda - i just tried some 4 year aged gouda, very hard and
flavorful, not all creamy like normal gouda
Gorgonzola - another blue cheese
Roquefort - yet another. see a pattern here? ;-)
Comté - a hard cheese sitting in my refrigerator, altho i haven't tried
it yet it has many fans
Camembert - like brie on steroids, in a good way
Epoisses - comes in a little wooden container. a creamy cheese,
supposedly napoleon's favorite :-o , very smelly tho (air it out!)
Leydin - a hard-ish cheese, often has spices in it. not offensive like
some of the blues can be
