I don't know if we ever talked about cheeses before on this board.
I recently found some imported cheese on a trip to the city. Best cheese I have had in decades. Worth talking about on the WWW
http://www.collierscheese.com/ (http://www.collierscheese.com/)
As it is from Wales many of you may already know about it.
Let's talk about our favourite cheeses!

Yes, Roger, tell her all about your favourite cheeses. ;D

Are we allowed to talk about cheese? Roger doesn't like cheese. I think it's therefore disrespectful.
Cathedral City for me. I love it, although I scolded the cat the first time I opened a pack, thinking it had passed wind by my ankles. However, after the initial whiff, it really is a lovely cheese, and so easy to slice. Not crumbly at all, unless you go for the extra mature, which is a little more temperamental, and doesn't live up to its name.
Colliers is also an excellent choice, Diane, and I'm delighted its found its way across The Pond.
I also have a great fondness for Emmental, but tend to avoid soft cheese generally, particularly the more pungent ones. The only exception to that would be when I do a Broccoli and Cauliflower Bake, which employs a full wedge of Danish Blue in the recipe. Again, perhaps even worse when it comes out its pack than Cathedral City, but within the context of the whole, simply superb!
Barbecued Halloumi, seared to perfection - fabulous!...

I like goats cheese on a pizza. I love eating cheese with apple or with raw onion. Sandwiches with cheese and onion or cheese and pickle are another favourite. I hated Stilton until my friend introduced me to Stilton and Marmite on toast.

I'm salivating here. Just as well neither of us is trying to lose weight!

Mis-read this thread. Been sitting here for hours waiting for my photograph to be taken.

Didn't you learn last time when you found your photo in Book of Horrors 2014?

Those sound good. :) For many months now I have been craving a crumbly sharp cheese. Here, cheese is mostly sold in large tasteless blocks. Or you can buy tiny blocks that cost a lot but have been nothing but disappointments so far. I actually picked up three small UK blocks of different cheeses at the same place - but doubt the other two could match Colliers. Will have to try them soon.

I haven't had a cheese and onion sandwich in decades! Good idea for lunch today.

As I've said before, I regard cheese as the "emperor's clothes" of foodstuff. It makes me want to shout "People, listen to me! You're eating rotten, rancid, lumpy milk! Don't be fooled! It tastes foul!"
Not only does it taste revolting and smell disgusting, the makers make up silly names for it and charge you all a fortune.
Listen at the door of the boardroom in any cheese factory. All you will hear is laughter.
-
Roger, have you ever eaten cheese?
-
Yes.
-
Roger, you're the king of elaboration.
-
Well, no-one can say his is an uninformed opinion.

What kind of laughter? robust? earthy? with the lilt of mountain birdsong?

Or just cheesy?
