True. Not all bleu cheeses are equal however. I absolutely love roquefort and saint agur, but I recently tried some fourme d'ambert and didn't like it at all.

Also, some other cheeses I think should be on a "greatest cheeses" list:
- Comté
- Mozzarella di bufala

I think you're right. Sharp cheddar has more bite to it - it tastes more like real cheese. I am not familiar with those terms you listed - you from the UK?

America does have some good cheeses but I'm unsure how we stand on a world scale.

The trick to a good poutine is to buy curds the same day they're made. Do not refrigerate them. Eat them that day.
