Muenster Cheese is very good.

 

Also, as already mentioned on this thread, brie cheese never fails anyone.

So my next question is usually...

 

Do you prefer Brie? or Camembert?

 

And IS there a real difference between the two?

 

I really would like to know!

Brie, as I find it generally milder than camembert, and since they both tend to have some funky tastes, the mildness evens that out.

 

The differences are subtle, and apparently not even the Europeans have a standard for them:

Of course, the U.S. doesn't standardize anything like that. Hence why every single olive oil is extra virgin. All of them. Including Wal-mart's house brand. No matter what pressing of the olives the oil actually came from. We have literally no rules for what can be called extra virgin.

^ I was watching a show where they were talking about the differences in virgin versus extra virgin olive oil...in Italy. Much stricter rules over there versus here in the US where anyone can just call their olive oil "extra virgin".

 

Today I bought some Cabot Hot Habanero Cheese at Wegmans. I have yet to try it and was wondering how hot it was - anyone else had this before? I'm thinking about trying it on a grilled cheese in the next couple of days!

^ Well, I guess eventually, you are going to find out.

 

As for Italian olive oils, we get a lot of them directly from Italy, so they're already branded,

and marked in their various levels of "virgin-ness" lol. We use regular olive oil for cooking,

and then use the virgin ones (extras, too) in things like salads, where we're actually going

to eat the oil, as well as the food.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Yeah, yeah, we all know Canada's awesome.

 

Around here, even the Italian imports are often re-labeled as extra virgin, because those words cause it to sell better even if they're complete fabrications. Murkah!

I put this in the Burgers thread some time ago. But since it's mainly "pushing" Wisconsin Cheeses,

I figured it would be good here as well.

What cheese was created, for...

Messy Burger. Yes, indeed! (o:

Recent grilled cheese sandwich made. With old cheddar.

And a slice of garlic beef inside it, as well.

 

Yum!

The dip is some mayo with horseradish sauce mixed in. (o:
