Just one cheese

[Ivan the Butcher]

My late father's motto for cheese went like this: "The more it smells like funky feet, the better it tastes!"

But I learned to eat Limburger from my wife's dad, not my own!

I assume you mean a good course ground brown mustard!

You got my mouth watering just thinking about it!

REMEMBER KIDS: exhale as you lift the sandwich or cracker, to your mouth!

There is a place near me that sells this. It is indescribably delicious. Sadly I just can't afford it.



Wyke Farms Cheddar:

"At $200 per pound, Wyke produces the most expensive cheddar cheese. It has been produced by the Wyke family farm in Great Britain since the 1860's, and is described as tangy, full-flavoured, taking 12 months to reach its peak. Despite the price tag, it's Wyke's most popular cheese."

Walmart carries a Wyke sharp cheddar, but Its not the Vintage Reserve. I've bought it a couple times and liked it a lot. The one WM sells is around $5 for a half pound so it must be a different product. $200 a pound is too rich for me but I can swing $8.

I haven't seen Limburger around here in years.

Surprisingly, The larger Kroger stores have in cool weather, in their dedicated/exotic cheese shoppe. You may need to ask for it, due to all the pranks that have been done with it. You can Vote at 18, but must be 21 to buy spray paint and eat smelly cheese!

A good quality Kansas City beef 8 oz burger with portabella mushrooms cooked aldentia and a imported Swiss cheese two slices on the buttered toasted bun. With bacon and my sweet carmelized onions. Be aware bigfoot does show up.

Does Vermont cheddar still hold the number one spot?

I purchased a assortment of cheeses in a basket from all over the world from igourmet All of them were great tasting cheeses. Well worth the cost. A cold night, fireplace lit, some wine and the cheese sampler.

We're fifty miles north of Tillamook, and I like to buy local when possible, so Tillamook Sharp Cheddar for me. Seriously, if this was the only cheese I could eat for the rest of my life, I'd be okay with it.

Yep, Tillamook cheeses are my "daily cheeses". Since I'm a lazy bum, I rotate through pre-sliced packages: Cheddar, Swiss, Pepper Jack, Colby Jack ... so much better than processed slices.

My Dad liked Limburger cheese. Mom made him triple wrap it in tin foil before putting it in the refrigerator.
He worked afternoons, and when he came home we would sometimes make a Limburger cheese sandwich with a sweet onion on Rye bread. Had to have a beer with it too.

I do, but I pretty much reserve it for Greek salads.

If'n you like feta and go to a greek restaurant try saganaki. Breaded and fried feta cheese. Excellent!

I like most all the mainstream cheeses, but if limited to one it would be a good havarti.

Anybody else like feta?

Yep! In spanikopita! Great way to get your green vegetables too. I used to work with a Greek guy. He'd bring in his wife's spanikopita to share with us.

Anybody else like feta?

I do. And I like its cousin from across the Adriatic, gorgonzola.

My former business partner was Greek and introduced me to many delicious foods, like Baklava, and Ouzo. But I digress!

There was a Greek restaurant I used to frequent. My favorite was eggplant moussaka.

Breaded and fried feta cheese. Excellent!

I nearly forgot about fried Cheese Curds. My son and I were introduced to them on vacation in the UP of Michigan. My son said "if these Yankees had offered these to the southern troops, the war would have been over in a week!"

We have a local dairy that makes them and we can find in the grocery store, but they are not as good as what we had in the Great Lakes Region.
