Any cheese I have tried and don't like gets used as dog treats. I dunno bout your hounds, but mine will practically do back-flips for things like gorgonzola, or that one that smells like unwashed feet whose name escapes me...

Limburger? Oh yeah--the guys *love* limburger.

Unfortunately, I'm at the day job today--first day back in a week, and boy, am I cranky--and I don't know about toting this stuff home.

Such a sad puppy icon!

I tried to pick it out, but it ruined the whole salad.

Isn't gorgonzola a blue cheese? If it is, then it's probably on the "can't have" list.

Why did you try?

You always tell me you don't like cheese...

[kristine-smith.livejournal.com]

It is a crumbly white cheese with blue veins.

I have developed a taste for some cheeses over the years. I like goat cheese/feta on salads. Most other cheeses, I prefer on sandwiches/melted. I love grilled Velveeta sandwiches. I know Velveeta isn't recognized as a real food, but I like it.

I'm not one to sit down and sample a cheese tray or anything. But I will eat some cheeses...except the ones with blue veins, apparently.

Yeah, that'd hit my can't eat list most likely. Most very ripe or moldy cheeses hit me with killer headaches.

I love grilled Velveeta sandwiches. I know Velveeta isn't recognized as a real food, but I like it.

It is one of the four Bubba foodgroups. It is the only Bubba thing I know about you or Bev Hale. She likes Velveeta in scrambled eggs.

Wait -- you have a truck...fortunately, named Harrison.

I feel the same way about brie. :-)

So I'm like 1.5 out of a possible 4 on the Bubba-meter?

Gee.

Now I *love* baked brie. Schmeared on freshly baked french bread or pane, with sliced apples or walnuts or shrimp or alone. That and a glass of Chardonnay, and I'm a happy camper.

But gorgonzola? *blech*

We're just honorary Bubbas -- me because I eat a lot of smoked meat. But my favorite BBQ sauce comes from a Rib Soack in north lower Michigan. Clearly I'm a wuss Bubba.

At least you have a truck!

Snicker!

Things I don't comprehend is why some local stores have Cabot's varying degrees of sharp, sharper, and exceedingly sharp cheddar, and the quite bland Monterey Jack, but no mild Cabot's cheddar. As a sign of multiculturalism, most of the Cabot's cheeses have both kosher (Tablet K) and halal certifications on them-but not e.g. the beer cheese (can't remember which brand of beer).
