    Really you're going to go to Wisconsin for quality cheese?

    How can the land which spawned the greatest maple syrup known to man not have the best cheddar cheese in the world?

    Sure this is a logical fallacy, and I accept that, but the argument is still true despite its lack of logic and the two products go together very well. Coincidence?


    So long as we agree that cheddar (and the sharp varieties in particular) is the king of cheeses I suppose we can exist in what one might call peace. Even though you speak blasphemy.

    Technically, Brie is the, "King of cheeses."

    I'm quite partial to cheese whiz

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I just had some goat cheese, which had been left out of the fridge for a couple of days, and was starting to stink. Strangely, it tasted better than ever.

    that's just the way it must be, nothing "strange" here.... Cheese is a living thing.

    Your supposed technicality confuses and disturbs me. That someone could label Brie as the "king of cheeses" is just sad, and if you are merely imparting upon me some obscure societal conclusion that Brie is somehow worthy of said title that just reaffirms my lack of faith in humanity, particularly its class and taste.

    Coming from someone who likes Cheddar, this statement is quite disturbing

    HoreTore, bring some blonde valkyries with you, if you don't mind.

    Sorry , I couldn’t resist…


    As to cheeses

    They are great! For the most part anyway. I love a lot of them, even some that must be eaten out of doors.

    I like sampling new ones in new places. The Irish seem to have quite a few new and delicious ones.
    Sheep cheese, goat cheese, no matter…haven’t found a horse cheese though.

    But I must say that one of my very favorites is just good old Colby Longhorn…that I can’t get here.

    That reminds me, I once tried a cheese that was advertised as being "four animal cheese". I count cow, goat and sheep, but none of us could work out what the fourth animal might be. Dog? Rat? Elephant?

    Uh. That was a declaration of Charlemagne, not me.

    And the real Brie is a bit different then what most people get.

    I'm far from an expert, but I do like a nice Tasmanian Camembert.

    Having both Greek and Dutch genes makes me a double-cheese lover, so I like many types of cheese. My favorite ones would be the following:

    1) Feta
    2) Graviera
    3) Kefalotyri
    4) Trikalino
    5) Kefalograviera
    6) Parmigiano
    7) Edam
    8) Old Amsterdam
    9) Camembert

    I also like Roquefort, but in small quantities and in liaison with some bread.
