Cheddar is okay. What isn't okay is the US doesn't seem to have much of anything else. Legolas Send a noteboard - 10/09/2011 10:10:34 PM
Today's topic: Cheese. Favorite? Least favorite? Good? Bad? Useless?

Favourite: a long list including camembert, brie, roquefort, old Gouda and comparable Dutch/Belgian/German/... cheeses, and many others.
Least favourite: not sure I have any.
I'll start with that cheddar is the best cheese of all time.

Hardly. Good cheddar is nice enough, but the cheaper kinds are somewhat hit and miss in my experience - and in any case I think there are tons of cheeses that are a lot better. In the US you almost need a specialized shop to encounter anything other than cheddar and "Swiss cheese", though, in my experience at least. No wonder people start thinking cheddar is the best cheese, if it's essentially the only cheese...

I am picky about how I have my American Cheese... LadyLorraine - 11/09/2011 03:09:40 AM 539 Views
That's just because American is processed to the point of total consistency. Ghavrel - 11/09/2011 07:36:48 AM 561 Views

When I was in the US, I tried some of that spray on cheese Colonel Logain - 12/09/2011 12:55:29 AM 539 Views
Those are processed, yes. As is "American" cheese. As is most cheese you find in supermarkets. Ghavrel - 12/09/2011 02:21:36 AM 588 Views
