General The Great Cheese Poll of 2023

[Wandering Yellow]

Following on from the discussion on the Krexit thread, I think it's time we decided what the favourite cheese of OUFC fans is.

For me, it's gruyere, unbelievable scenes when melted on toast. But I want to give an honourable mention to Feta for it's versaility, Halloumi (unreal when grilled on a skewer) extra mature cheddar, brie, camembert and goat's cheese.

Feel free to add your branded cheese recommendations and let us know second and third favourite cheeses.

It depends on the meal. For instance I do like a nice piece of cheddar on my toast, but I wouldn't grate it over my carbonara.

 

[Maldonyellow]

My favourite cheese is Appenzeller, not easy to obtain although the local Cheese shop in Chelmsford Market usually has it in stock.
Good alternatives Kaltbach or a decent Gruyere/Emmental. Swiss cheeses ideal for Fondue. (Deffo no French cheeses or anything French come to that).

Interestingly, and agreeably to me, cheese on fish is practically a criminal offence in Italy.

No tuna melts?! No tuna pizza?!!

I recently discovered the microplane (Lakeland generic copy) and it is so much better for grating hard cheese than a traditional block grater, though watch your fingers as it is very sharp.

He only seems to get criticism at Spurs ….

 

[Marked Ox]

Cheddar (Extra Mature) for standard things but Camembert baked in Brioche or another bread is glorious.

 

[Osei Yaw]

Stilton, melted over a rare steak. Big plate of triple cooked chips lashed in salt. Delicious.

It's only really good if you wake up in the middle of the night feeling irritable, with a headache and desperate for a drink.

 

[Sarge]

Cathederal City plant based (vegan) cheese

There’s a lot of good cheeses on there, and it’s hard to pick when some I love and some I hate - that’s the problem with only one vote, a cheese that I love is getting as many votes as a cheese I hate, as I just slightly prefer a different one. How about if we could all vote for as many as we liked? You’d get a more accurate picture then of the overall popularity of all cheeses

No St Paulin or Manchego options - I'm out!

 

[Ovaltoyou]

Manchego by far, No. 1

Nor are horses. Nobody mentions it because horses don't pretend to be cheese.

[Paul Cannell]

If I may suggest an improvement?

Marske Pony.

Sounds the same if yer a southron, like you. I can't believe @Northstandboy hasn't begged me to become a mod yet.

It's not possbile to have a favourite, so I've chosen a handful I regularly go for. One missing from the list, and is a great option where you can only have one cheese on a board, is Cambozola.

A nice Roquefort.. and of those you can't beat Vieux Berger.

"Roquefort is made from the milk of sheep that graze on the diverse grasses and wildflowers that grow on the[emoji769] limestone plateaus found in the Aveyron Department - France. The cheese is ripened in the natural damp and airy caves found under the village of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. Vieux Berger is the of smallest of seven producers of this style of cheese. Their version of this cheese is remarkably creamy and piquant."

That reminds me. Did you hear about the explosion at the cheese factory in France?

There was nothing left but de Brie.

This is the only thing to bring me any kind of pleasure or happiness on this forum for weeks

 

[swolley]

I used to love cracker barrel, not seen it for years. For cheese on toast it has to be lancashire

I`ll declare a family interest - Black Cow Deluxe Cheddar.
