Just one cheese

My daughter went to college in Erie Pa. and discovered poutine.
French fries, and cheese curds, with brown gravy. Coronary on a plate.
 
I'd say I only recognized about a fifth of the varietals in the Monty Python sketch...funny. None of you folks mentioned Manchego....from Spain. That could be my 'one'. But yes, the though of it is too much to bear, LOL.
 
Anybody else like feta?

Love it on greek salad, but not the fake American Feta made with cow's milk - the real stuff made with sheep's or goat's milk is far and away better. Trader Joe's has a nice feta made in Israel that's very good, it's either sheep or goat milk, I don't remember which, it comes in a small plastic tub.

.... Breaded and fried feta cheese. Excellent!

Okay, if we're getting into "breaded and fried":

Meet Burger King's Halloumi Burger, on offer only in Europe I think. Instead of meat, it has patties of a deep-fried Cypriot cheese.

Acorn—I would like to try them too. They are super simple to make, no need to cross the pond and rub elbows with the Europeans!
Halloumi burgers recipe - BBC Good Food

Amazingly I just discovered Whole Foods about two miles from my house has Halloumi Cheese. I never fail to learn something on this forum.

This gives a whole new meaning to "Cheese" Burgers!
 
I do. And I like its cousin from across the Adriatic, gorgonzola.

I've never had gorgonzola. Next time I'm at the Italian store I'll have to try some.
According to my families oral history we harken to the British Isles, and Austria. I must have a little Mediterranean blood in there way back. I love the food.

That reminds me...

It's been a long time since I've eaten there, so I don't know if it's still offered, but Hot Dog on a Stick used to make a corn "dog" with a cheese stick instead of a hot dog. Never tried it, though.
 
Cheese

CHEESE, in any one of its many kinds. Cheese has always been one of my lifelong daily foods, and I can't remember a kind, that I didn't like. I can't resist sharing my favorite cheese story with you folks. This story, was told to me, by my maternal grandma, who was a Swiss immigrant, in 1895. Switzers made limburger cheese thusly- two batches of like-sized swiss cheese, were tied up in cheesecloth bags, suspended on cords over the open seats of a two hole outhouse. When the first cord rotted off and let it's bag of cheese fall into the toilet, that bag was allowed to age there, and become limburger cheese.

I just bought a chunk of Gorgonzola not to eat straightaway but to stuff the olives that go in my Martini's. Our favorite cheese is St Andre eaten on Trader Joe's crackers!
