Sorry, thought I’d replied to you, but replied to myself instead.
I read this as Chinese and not cheese do was prepared for a ChiFi talk.
I’m really not especially into cheese. But I’m so glad this thread exists, haha!
and I’d said to James…Car
my wife n her family are from Norway and the lack of cheese in Canada is always something they lament.
One supermarket find I keep on coming back to is Sainsbury’s Shropshire Red. It’s like a good, strong cheddar but is as creamy as it is deep.
OMG, there’s a cheese thread in here. Europe the cheese paradise.
Just a few picks from the top of my heads:
- Nederlands: Old Gouda - Cantenaar CANTENAAR | Hollandmaster
- Swiss: Jakobskäse Jakobskäse (€3,49/100g) – Bert & Boni Cheeserie
- UK: Extra mature Cheddar with Black Summer truffle Buy Truffle Trove | Extra Mature Cheddar w/ Black Summer Truffle | Snowdonia Cheese
- DE/CH/AU: Bergkäse (mountain cheese) in all variations Bergkäse - Wikipedia
- Spain: Manchego
- France: Camembert de Normandie
- Italy: Provolone
I’m with you on 1 and 3
We have a saying in this house. Was originally said dead-pan straight faced, unironically and completely seriously in conversation. One of my sons replied to his mother saying she couldn’t find the cheese:
“Mom… If you can’t find cheese in this house… You’re not looking very hard”.
Ah, cheese. I like it very much, most cheeses anyway - a good Wisconsin sharp cheddar is usually what I will reach for first - that and a good Brie - but I don’t have the passion for it that I am feeling in this thread! Perhaps I should pay more attention and dive in a bit more.
Great, now I’m hungry and there is no cheese to be found!
Ashes, ashes!
I LOVE cheese, but not the real stuff.
I just finished two toasted cheese sandwiches with Velveeta processed cheese. Ummm.
