Wasn't this thread called cheese spread originally? I could have sworn it was, but see no evidence of modifying. Maybe my brain just slipped another cog.

You can't beat a good old mature Westcountry Chedder....

I need something stinky soon. Perhaps I'll pick up a nice ripe Munster at the store this evening.

I've heard the cheddar is actually quite good, can't find it here though. The only cheddar I know was the processed 'plastic' cheddar from my childhood.

Yes. Cheddar is the constant in the shifting world of cheese.

Beaufort from the cheese stall in St Pons market (not the supermarket stuff).
Mrs Faz's favourite is St Agur.

Meanwhile, over the weekend I came across a very interesting recipe for cauliflower covered with a gorgonzola bechamel sauce. Gorgonzola does indeed lend itself to quite a few great cheese sauces. This of course does not prevent one from throwing extra emmental or gruyère on top and throwing it in the oven to be browned.

I note that almost everybody mentions "proper" cheese as opposed to supermarket plastic packed... although these do have their place in the house.

They do indeed, on toast and then grilled until liquid and just starting to brown. Double Gloucester is the best for this delight. Salt and ketchup required for topping.

I used to quite like 'hawaii toast' without the 'hawaii', i.e. the pineapple. I used to use those artificial 'Scheibletten', not too bad if toasted on ham.

I have found that I generally consider cheese more of a social event than as a meal item. Bring out the cheese at the end of a group meal, and I will happily devour some of each variety, along with bread and wine.

Eating alone, I rarely get the cheese out.
