CHEESE!

Ryobi · 05-16-2010, 08:00 PM

Alright all you cheeseheads, I know I'm not the only one from Wi on this particular planet. I know your blood is still half anti-freeze cuz it's only May and that makes people a little slow moving but, come on. Who are you, Where are you, and when are we all having a get together?

I'm just south of Green Bay.

I voted for the cow from China. I'm not pleased with the results.

As for cheese: A new favorite of mine (in the past year or so) is Piave. It's hard and flavorful (yes, it sounds naughty but it's not. It's cheese people).

My suggestion: Try it. Immediately. Do not pass go or collect $200 (well maybe collect the money. Then you can buy more cheese). Eat. Be merry.

And of course it's Italian. Need I say more?

I was on a business trip to Wisconsin years ago. I'll never forget the most incredible picture perfect farms. And it sure get c-c-cold up there.

PapaC · 05-16-2010, 08:53 PM

first of all... oh oops never mind..

this is in the Wisconsin thread.
I was getting all kinds of excited because I love cheese.

not that there's anything wrong with Wisconsin or anything but the thread title misled me.

Anyone wanna bet California will soon be the top cheese in the states? :P

Off to go and buy, well... cheese.

Carry on, Wisconsin peeps,

It's okay. Cheese is as cheese does (yes, it's profound isn't it?). From Wisconsin to California and from sea to shining sea ...

Queerasfck · 05-16-2010, 09:04 PM

Sooooo is this about cheese? I got really excited and found pics of a couple of faves.....

This one is Sottocenere, essentially means "under ash". The gray rind is formed by a layer of ash that covers the cheese as it ages. Mixed with the ash are spices such as coriander, nutmeg and cloves although these spices hardly flavor the cheese. It is the addition of truffle oil and truffle pieces that create the irresistible flavor and aroma. It's really, really good and kind of expensive but it will bring any cheese lover to their knees, or make them buy you that cute little ring you've been wanting, or make them game for pretty much anything (that is, if you're looking for that kind of reaction).

My other favorite is a nut crusted brie created by Chef Deborah Scott from Indigo Grill and Kemo Sabe Grill in San Diego. It's essentially fried brie with a nut crust. It's about the best food I've ever eaten. I've never attempted to make it at home. I'm not sure I could duplicate it. Here's a pic but it doesn't do it justice. The one you buy at the resturant is probably deep fried completely encased in crushed nuts like pepitas. It's devine!

Gemme · 05-17-2010, 12:20 AM

I love the brie....and provolone....and parmegiana reggio (I think that's how it's spelled)....and cheddah. Swiss. I love the swiss. It comes pre-air-conditioned.

I love the cheese.

Wisconsin's nice too.

Ryobi · 05-17-2010, 11:18 AM

Thank you all you lost people for posting in the Wi thread. lol. I'll be back when I have a little more time. For now, I'll just hand out thanks and compasses.

lol.

NJFemmie · 05-17-2010, 12:25 PM

.... my obsession with cat photos would not allow me to pass the opportunity.....

Not from, never been, but I love me some Packers

And just where the hell were you about 10 years ago with this bit of information??? True, very true, 180 bucks worth of true. lol

Ryobi · 05-17-2010, 11:48 PM

I like a lot of different cheese, just about anything but the plastic stuff.
My 2 all time favorites are, 15year old extra sharp white cheddar and cheese curds, which is cheddar. I have never seen cheese curds outside of Wi and, if Snowy is around, they are called cheese nuggets because "curds" sounds nasty to her.

So, anyone from Wisconsin?

Are you O.K., Oneida? Never heard you talk like that before. lol. Old Milwaukee should be used to boil the Brats in first and then, thrown out! (do you really drink that?) If more people show up in here from Wi., I'll sure let you know of a get together. Maybe you should just come up anyway.?

p.s. The cubs suck! Ask my 4 year old nephew.

Sorry, I am from Oregon but we do have cheese curds here! The Tillamook Cheese Factory in Tilamook, Oregon on the coast has cheddar cheese curds, also known as Squeaky Cheese.
