Daily Q: Are You A Cheese Fiend?
Cheese is a wonderful source of protein, high in calcium and incredibly delicious! It is also the ultimate comfort food for people like me, a cheese addict.
When I’ve had a rather tough day, I stop off at Murray’s Cheese at Grand Central Market. The real Murray’s Cheese is in located in downtown Manhattan but the best person in the whole wide world had the absolutely awesome idea to put a stand in Grand Central. Sometimes I think it was put there just for me.
On my most recent stop, I picked up Pico Picandine. This is a tangy French goat cheese with a sweet finish. It is similar in flavor to my favorite cheese, La Tur. La Tur is a combination of goat, sheep and cow milk. It has a tangy mushroom flavor and is so creamy; it is often compared to ice cream. I eat the entire rind in just one sitting!
Are you a cheese fiend? What is your favorite type of cheese?

I can't eat as much cheese as I used to because I've become lactose intolerant. Goat cheese is probably my favorite, though, and I've searched out many good recipes that incorporate it because of how much I love it. I enjoy mozzarella a lot, too, for its taste and versatility. Aside from brie, cottage cheese and any cheese with blue mold (I'm allergic), I don't think I've had a cheese I didn't like. Feta, cheddar, paneer, provolone, neufchatel, pecorino-romano, pepper jack, Emmental, Gruyere; they're all good.
mmm...I love cheese. all kinds.
My favorites are probably feta, blue cheese, pepper jack, and goat.
I don't really eat fancy cheese, nor can afford it but do love cheese! I love all the cheaper kinds-american, chedder, swiss, provolone, mozerrella, ect :)
I just like cheese! I don't care what type it is, I will eat it. I have pasta, pizza, enchiladas, quiche, everything more than is healthy just because I love adding too much cheese ... it always tastes so lovely ... embodiment of food heaven. I'm a cheese fiend. Ha.
cheese = happiness
I always want to keep trying more cheeses! My favorites are sharp cheddar, brie, swiss, gouda, and for the buffalo wings, bleu cheese. :9
i love cheese :) i always have some white cheddar, feta, and gorgonzola on hand.
i am a cheese fiend. except i've never really tried gourmet cheeses before.
monterey jack is my favorite :]
I'm an on-again, off-again vegan for this reason, haha. I have no problem cutting out milk, but cheese is always my downfall. I love feta, very sharp cheddar, and pizza! :sigh: Someday I hope to cut this nasty habit out completely.
I love cheese! But I'm not very wild, and stick to things like muenster, cheddar, and colby Jack. I think provolone is my favorite.
I ABSOLUTELY am a cheese fiend.. I'll eat almost any kind! My favorite is (orange) sharp cheddar though .. I could mix cheddar cheese with anything and it would be my favorite meal! :)
ohmuhgoodnessyeah
I love cheese, but I've never ventured out of the usual cheeses: American, mozorella, and cheddar. Any advice on how I can slowly start exploring?
i love swiss and american cheese!
I love cheese. I was so happy when my family ended up in between homes when I was a child- we ended up living in the basement of a dairy farmer's house. So much cheese! My favorite cheese is probably smoked Gouda, but I love any type, brie, goat, cheddar, swiss, you name it, I will eat it.
@LADYLILYTHAO@xanga - There are so many to choose from!! It really depends upon what you like. Brie cheese is very well-liked, so that might be a good one to try but it is really soft. If you want a more solid cheese, you could go with a Gouda. Whenever I am at the store, I pick up a new one but I always look for a smaller package just in case I don't like it. I have to admit, though, I haven't picked up one I didn't like!
YES. yesyesyesyesyes god i love cheese.
favorite is probably mozzerella, but i really like chihuahua also. and ricotta... and not to mention cheddar or co-jack.....
haha this is funny because my roommate and I were just talking an hour or so ago about how much I love cheese. It's like a drug and I need some now... I haven't gotten enough cheese today.
YESH! Especially in conjunction with a good stick of baguette and maybe a few slices of fruit. I like smoked gouda, mild tasting ones like brie and camembert....but I adore St. Marcellin...it's a bit stronger smelling. I also like gruyere and goat cheese. Sooo good as snacks =D
Cheese! I love it!
hmm ... all my friends say I'm weird
and I suppose ya'll will think it, but.....
I don't eat cheese
none
nothing

I just don't like it, and I have tasted many different types
Cheese just wasn't made for my taste buds to appreciate

Don't get me started on cheese. I'm lactose and eat cheese pretty much everyday haha... I don't have a favorite kind.
