Cheese thread. Watcha eating /ck/?

I just picked up a lovely wedge of Roquefort and some garlic crackers so my night is set.

I love matured cheeses, but blue is overwhelming unless its in a sandwich or pasta. Even then its really common to overpower everything else with it.

Manchego is great for sandwiches too, I made one with my handmade bread and dijon mayonaise. God damn delicious.

I really enjoyed these two different brands of UK cheddar: the cheese was a bit crumbly, and crystals were present. The second time I bought cheese from these two brands, there were no crystals, and the flavour was different. Why is that? Do you think the first ones I bought had been aging in the store for awhile?

Those cheese have their own purposes. You're not supposed to eat any cheese with your breakfast. They differ a lot in taste, and are used for wine tastings, delikatessen, smoerebroed, as a snack, to dip into chocolate, in soups, in sandwitches.

Then get some stilton, cheddar, Lancashire cheese, plain Wensleydale, Double Gloucester, Shropshire Blue, Caerphilly, Cheshire, Lincolnshire Poacher, Red Leicester, Five Counties, any of the multiple variants of the above, or any of the dozens and dozens of other regional cheeses that are available. Clearly Wensleydale with fruit isn't your thing- it isn't mine either, I can theoretically see why a sharp and acidic cheese would go with fruit, but I just don't like that combination of flavours. But it's a cheeseboard cheese, so if you don't like it by itself, go eat something else instead of crying about it.

it's okay but fairly expensive and not unique tasting. It just tastes like some wheels of cream cheese with some flavorless wood ash sandwiched between them, with a thin layer of camembert surrounding the whole thing. Each cheese tastes better separately. Also the change in texture from creamy to crumbly makes it difficult to spread on baguette slices.

pic related is how they should've made it instead. Buttery in the core, creamy in the area around the core. .
