Around here we're fortunate enough to have access to Tillamook cheese. Anything less is just a disappointment.

Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

Yeah...... I hate my generation.

I will admit i switched over to an aged specialty cheddar my grocery store carries.  The grocery store brand cheddar's consistency changed from package to package.  Extra sharp is supposed to actually taste like something.   :o

Why? Other than the inability to afford housing every article about millenials is about how they're not horrific monsters.

Here's a list of articles of things we've killed, apparently. Just as a caveat I barely make the cutoff to be a millennial. Born in November 1982 I just barely managed to avoid being a part of Gen X. That being said, I watched all the 80's romcoms guys. Pretty in pink. Breakfast club? I am perfectly capable of masquerading as a Gen X person.

But it's also nice to be part of the good guys. Millenials are House Davion ya'll. White hats. Unfortunately the time period appears to be 3145....

Millenials as white hats?  That's a laugh.  Anything beyond this breaks rules.

As to the housing thing, expectations do not equal reality.  Mommy and Daddy never taught them about reality it seems.

Old fart here - reality never taught Mommy and daddy, either.  Most of them never taught their kids something useful, either.  Who do you think bought them their car and paid their cellphone bills because they wanted them to be safe?

Please keep in mind that this thread is about cheese and stuff-that-definitely-is-not-cheese, and that I know perfectly well that you know what I'm talking about. The rest belongs somewhere else.

And slices are never wrapped. They're sliced off a block of actual cheese, and then placed directly on the food or in the mouth.

Or grated and heaped on food.

Been away from the forum for a little bit, and come back to find this. I live near London, where we can buy a variety of cheeses, with a variety of mouth-puckering effects depending on maturity. Also, my fridge has broken, and until I get it replaced, I cannot store cheese.

I'm craving it now, thanks to this thread. Although I did have a nice brie-and-bacon panini at the RPG meetup on Tuesday night. And goats cheese at the weekend. Recommendations also include a decent semi-mature cheddar, Red Leicester, Cornish Yarg, Green Thunder ... and now I'm actually salivating.

gooey is what it has going for it. You didn't eat it for flavor, but for the gooey texture when you toast/warm it.


Agreed.

The only reason I eat cheese is to have it be warm & melty.

Have to tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich with REAL cheese. 

That real stuff doesn't MELT. 

I hate cold blocks of cheese, but I know, I'm probably in the minority.

Course it does. But you need the right kind of cheese. And it helps immensely to chop or grate it finely.

A brie will almost melt in summer without much prompting. Damn, just thinking about it... A nice lettuce tomato and brie on lightly browned panini...
