Cheese-o-holics Too

[caityrosey]

Hey, If we're going to talk chocolate we should talk cheese too.

I love a nice manchego!:artsy:

i don't know what it is about oak-smoked guoda (with honey sesame crackers) but mmhm

 

[Katarzyna]

Cheese, wine, grapes.. yumm

 

[fascination]

gouda sharp chaddar and bleu...heaven

 

[caityrosey]

Goat cheese on crackers is one of my favorites too

Cheese is one of the delights of Western cuisine. Too bad I'm mildly allergic to casein -- that's the protien in cheese that makes hard cheeses hard. There's less casein in goat cheese than in cow's-milk cheese, so I've been exploring goat cheeses. I like goat feta (of course), and some camembert. I also like goat gouda. I don't think I've tried goat cheddar yet. I guess that's next on my list.

I liked pretty much any cheese, though, whether it's good for me to eat it or not! Some combinations:

Spanish mancheco, with slices of membrillo (quince paste)

goat feta with sundried tomatoes on Trader Joe's savory rice crackers

Cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Roquefort melted onto a baked potato

Brie. Any where, any time, any way.

never tried manchego with quince (never had a quince for that matter). It's good with pears.

I love marscapone, too. In tiramisu, in place of cream cheese in cream cheese frosting, in potato soup, in mashed potatoes, a dollop on top of risotto....mmmm.

I wonder if I should make chese fondue for dinner tonight? It's not the *best* idea, but it's cold today (well, relatively speaking, this is San Francisco after all) and it would be delicious....

hey laura ...what was that chees analogy to the smoooth dances that you shared previously?

 

[Laura]

I don't reallly remember -- but we can certainly work it out again!

Foxtrot == cheddar cheese
Waltz == marscapone
Tango == pepper jack or manchego
Quickstep == ????
Viennese Waltz == gouda

Or maybe something else...discuss!

P.S. I ended up making cream of mushroom soup tonight, but with marscapone for the "cream" content rather than just plain cream. MMMMMmmmmmm. I put some sherry and truffle oil in it, too.

Still got to chase it with a little chocolate, but I could live with your selection

 

[caityrosey]

What kind of dance do you think Feta would be?

 

[caityrosey]

Anyone ever tried chocolate cheese? Maybe it's a Wisconsin thing.
