    I don't eat a lot of cheese, but when I do, it's the stinky kind!

    For a grilled cheese, good ol' cheddar, mild or old, slices of brie with a slice of ham and a few leaves of baby spinach or green apple slices would be nice. Havarti slice might not be a bad choice either.

    Like limburger? Because I have some triple wrapped in the freezer anybody is welcome to.

    My latest cheese obsession is manchego. I wish I had some in the fridge right now but if I did it'd be gone...

    What is limburger?

    And while I'm at it? what is "sharp cheddar"? Is it the same as aged (old) cheddar?

    In Canada, we have mild, old, and extra old cheddar. In French it's called doux, fort, extra fort. Fort means strong. I'm just guessing this is why in the US they would call it "sharp" instead of aged/old.

    I've never met a cheese I didn't like.



    Except Swiss.

    This is me too! I eat all the cheeses (except one!)

    I OP, f you're looking for something a bit lower cal, Edam or Gouda has less fat than most hard cheeses and is very high protein.

    anything but goat cheese

    eta: and for the love of god, no weight watchers or low fat cheese!

    I really don't notice much difference. As I'm pregnant, soft and blue cheeses are out. I'm on a controlled carb diet due to gestational diabetes, so cheese is an excellent no/low carb option. I am mainly eating:

    Feta (apetina 10)
    Babybel Light
    Halloumi
    Mature cheddar
    Philadelphia

    My saturated fat is always high due to all the nuts I eat, so I try to balance it a bit with the lower fat cheeses.

    Pretty much the only cheese I eat is laughing cow light wedges. 1 a day on my sandwiches. It's lovely and pretty healthy (especially compared to other cheeses)
    I like cheese, but it doesn't take much to get a lot of calories and fat so can usually only have really small amounts.

    If I do have cheese with anything then it's just regular cheddar cheese.

    Funny thing, there's no Swiss cheese in Switzerland.

    Correct. It sounds better than 'Tilsitter' :-))

    Another big cheese fan here, I love strong mature cheddar, halloumi, feta, goats cheese, mozzarella - pretty much any cheese except blue! I just have much smaller portions now.

    To eat by itself, I prefer sharp cheddar, but when I'm cooking, I actually prefer medium or mild cheddar.

    CHEEEEEEEESSSSSSEEEEE!!

    love it

    used to love strong cheddar, hated stilton when i first tried it, but really like it now, i cant stand cheese mixed with pieces of fruit, like wensleydale and cranberrie YUCK!! theyre too sickly.
    my fav cheese atm is camembert YUM YUM YUM YUM!!!!! I rarely eat cheddar now.
    one of my fav sandwhiches used to be brie with pineapple, the sharpness of the pineapple really goes well with the mellowness of brie.

    CHEESEY PEAS, BRILLIAAAAAANT.......................

    Atm I have low fat camembert and normal parmesan, which is usual for me cause I usually just get cheddar. But I love most kinds of cheeses, especially in Greek Salad, quiches, pitas or pizzas!!

    For grilled cheese, full fat cheddar.

    You can't use the low fat stuff because when it melts its like plastic. I will never touch it again, its a gross thought.
