Cheese

[Flying_Monkey]

I feel like I should like lancashire cheese but I just don't! Well the creamy is nicer than the crumbly I suppose...

That's why they won't let you back in to Lancashire!

Hungry!

1) Parmesan
2) Vacherin Mont D'Or
3) Camembert
4) Comte or a very mature Gruyere
5) Stilton

With special mentions to a few more obscure ones: Barkham Blue of Wokingham; and Caws Cynros and Arzegarzy from Cothi Valley Goats of Llandeilo.

In my case, that's more to do with Mrs User482!

P.S. I'd be interested to know if Gjetost has any takers, for it is the weirdest cheese known to humanity. Can't stand the stuff myself - it tastes exactly like a Caramac bar and has the texture of soap.

That could be the makings of a good cheese though.

Anyone tried Stinking Bishop of Wallace and Gromit fame. Very mushroomy - tastes like a hard-core camembert

Wot, no votes for this Sardinian speciality?

It's almost enough to put you off cheese for life.
Almost.

I grew up eating that stuff or, more accurately, trying to avoid eating it .

Gah!, and I thought I'd read all the pages on this thread.

How about this then?

The rind is washed in perry. If you like it, I think there's a camembert that's soaked in calvados.

Yes i've tried stinking bishop and it really really stinks. It tastes nice at first, and then you realise your fridge stinks, your house stinks and you stink. A friend had to put hers in the shed at the bottom of the garden and could still smell it from the house.

That is a very tasty cheese! Particularly excellent with golden syrup! Honestly!!!

It's got nothing on livarot. I brought some back from France in June, and had to live with it stinking the car out all the way from Dover to Bristol.
