You weren't so snobby about the Velveeta when you were stuffing your face with queso a few weeks ago :lol:
I get a cheese and meat thingy every year when I come home. My mom gets it at Central Market and it's the slam. They will put it together for you based on what the person you're buying it for likes - I like spicy, mustard, garlic, etc. So anyway, there's one in here called a Bruder Basil. Oh my damn, it's actually hidden in the fridge right now so no one else can get it. Yuuuum. There's a salami in here too that's really good, hot coppa? I don't know if these are readily available or what, but seriously, I'm in heaven.

Pay attention Suhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmer! I've made the disclaimer multiple times that velveeta is only acceptable when turned into queso and consumed with multiple beers or prepared for a party where people plan to consume multiple alcoholic beverages.
and yeah i know i was sucking down wine not beer but them's just details...

mix Velveeta and sausage gravy.... trust me. Sounds nasty but is fantastic chip dip.
Ther person that made it for me called it "dayton dip", not sure if it is common around there or not.

and I LOVE sausage gravy. But I couldn't do that to it.
But now you've made me hungry for gravy and biscuits.
Damn you.

I love good cheese but sometimes Velveeta is the only way to go. Shells and cheese? Velveeta. Dip? Velveeta. Grilled cheese on the cheap? Velveeta. Sure it's not really cheese, but it has its uses.
Then again, I was raised working class, so I ate a lot of things like macaroni and tomatoes and cheaper cuts of meat that my mom cooked all day.
I am going to check out that cheddar that roy was talking about as well. I love a good, all purpose cheddar.

See, I'd rather have the cheap cheese powder macaroni than the Velveeta kind. It just has this disgusting glue like quality that I can't get over. I especially like the Spongebob Squarepants shaped variety. :D I too was raised on grilled cheese made with those plastic wrapped "cheese" squares. I just can't do it now though. That texture just grosses me out.

I would like to add buffalo mozzarella to this list. In the summer, with fresh tomatoes and a little basil and olive oil, nothing can beat it.

OMG YES.
This thread will quickly supplant the bacon thread, for me. Cheese porn.

A GIANT +1 to that. I also like big sliced tomatoes with big chunks of bleu cheese and slices of red onion.

+1 on Cypress Grove. Delicious, unorthodox stuff in general from them -- an interesting lavender goat (Purple Haze), a goat cheddar, etc.
Should have mentioned having gotten completely hooked on the grilled halloumi (or Blue Jacket Dairy grilling cheese) drizzled with balsamic vinegar combo. Did a little cheese plate for a cocktail party out at my mom's over Thanksgiving, and her friends' reactions to that one went from "What's that??" to "Where can I get some?" very quickly.
Yes roy! I had Humboldt Fog in a delicious salad at Latitude 41 last summer and fell in love with it. Damn it, now I need to go get some.
As another plus, the people at Blue Jacket are great. I got some of their goat cheese last summer as well as the grilling cheese and both were excellent.
Love, love, love the Humboldt Fog.. I cannot give these guys enough props..
also for US cheese try the Zingerman's Creamery (Ann Arbor, MI) Lincoln Log and Detroit Street Brick cheeses. The Lincoln Log is a milder goat cheese and the Detroit Street Brick is a firey goat cheese studded with green peppercorns. Lake Erie Creamery is worth a mention for their fresh chÃ¨vre.
For cow's milk cheeses I like the Spanish Mahon cheese. It's one of the few cow's milk cheeses made in Spain, from the island of Menorca. Amazing stuff... still a bit of cream, but plenty of tartness. Kinda like cheddar but a bit more balanced. Yum..
I've been eating plenty of creamy blue cheeses lately.. plenty of good French and Irish blues out there.. I can't remember what I've been getting. I've just been asking Mike at Curds and Whey.. I also recommend asking Mike for wine and serving suggestions. He knows tons about both wine and cheese and has never steered me wrong.

I love that guy. My problem is that I always forget the names of the cheeses and need to start writing them down. :(

One pretty available Ohio cheese that I really like is the grass fed Guggisberg Swiss - which is different by a long shot from the regular Guggisberg Swiss. I've bought this at the factory in Holmes County, but it's sometimes available at The Andersons.
Cheese nerd fact: Ohio is the nation's leading producer of Swiss cheese.

Another mmmmhmmmm alright to that. Adding this as a salad/starter for a pre-made meal makes me feel less like a domestic goddess failure :)

I'm running into the same problem with Curds and Whey. I just tell him what wine I have and he gives me mystery cheese to taste. I have been digging the Blue Jacket Dairy Chevre but probably have about five cheeses I like more in the fridge, just that I have no idea what they are. I really like Lake Erie Creamery too!
Who here just cuts mold off cheese and keeps eating it? I do.

Of course! No reason not to.
