Thread: Cheese and Crackers!!!

Not long ago I went to Cabot Cheese in Quechee Gorge, VT. Tons of free samples and really good cheeses. Plus, it's connected to an antiques store and I found a W&B in there! It's right nearby the gorge which is also a sight to see. Hiked down to the bottom and back up, then went for more cheese.

I am a mild cheddar or pepper jack eater. I mean like, everyday. I come home from work, grab a block and knife and either saltines or Doritos.

I can't ever remember eating a cheese that I didn't like.
To me, it's one of the "superfoods!"

Same here. My current favourites are Stolwijker farmhouse cheeses. Some of them even come with cheese mites in them. Hadn't seen those buggers for over 40 years.

Sometimes with so many cheeses out there its easier to discuss the ones you don't like. I don't like anything TOO, too stinky. Bleu and Parmesan has a sharp bacterial stink and that's fine. But when you cross into that rotting corpse stink, its no longer to my liking. I can tolerate and enjoy it up to a point. Morbier is a good example. It has some of that funk but its in check. If you move deeper in the grave to Pont l'Eveque, that's too much for my taste. One of the most pleasant cheeses, and easy to get along with, is Comte. Very mild and yet complex. Podda, from Italy is another outstanding hard/sharp cheese. Domestically, I really like Cypress Grove. Their Humbolt Fog and Lamb Chopper cheeses are really a great treat.

I like Velveeta drizzled Spam wedges served with chilled Pabst Blue Ribbon.

I enjoy slices of extra old cracker barrel, smoked gouda or smoked provolone cheese on my crackers.
