How do you like your cheese and chocolate?

Me, well I like my cheese at room temp so a bit on the warm side and a bit soft if a proper soft cheese like Brie etc, but I like my chocolate straight from the fridge and rock hard but let it melt in my mouth.

    I'm the exact opposite, I like my cheese straight from the fridge (otherwise I find it gets all sweaty - yuck) and my chocolate at room temperature, or a bit warmer.

    With both cheese and chocolate I like them either cold & straight from the fridge, or hot & melted... Nothing in the middle though.

    Both at room temperature - the flavours are so much more poignant

    My mother puts chocolate in the fridge and I cannot understand why anyone would!! Ruins the taste if eaten straight from imo

    Hard cheese cold from the fridge, soft cheese warmer not straight from the fridge. I don't eat/like chocolate.

    Cheese room temp - I rarely eat chocolate but I don't mind it from the fridge - room temp is more sickly IMO.

    Digressing - I like salad room temp as you can taste the tomatoes etc much better - love cold tap water, but my soup, cooked food etc, have to be hot - my Turkish MIL is a great cook but she ( and most of them out there) serve food room temp or like warm. It spoils it for me, even hubby prefers it the way I like it now too. I think it's because they don't like microwaves & can't be bothered to take time to reheat for home cooking.

    Chocolate at room temperature (unless it's a heat wave, in which case we store it in the fridge just to stop it melting).

    Cheese from the fridge (Wensleydale, cheddar and Philly. I guess I'd serve brie at room temperature if I ever bought it, but I don't).

    Tomatoes - always kept in a fruit bowl at room temperature. (Tomatoes straight from the fridge taste of nothing).

    Cheese needs a little time to warm up to get the flavours going but not so warm that it starts to melt.

    Not too fussed about how my chocolate comes. I'd eat it any way.

    Both room temp! (part from extra strong cheddar which I love straight from the fridge)

    Choc from the fridge is just so wrong.

    I used to eat my cheese straight from the fridge and enjoyed it that way for years.
    I now love it at room temp.
    I like it melted too.

    Hate cold chocolate.

    Cheese - I don't mind either way. Cold cheddar is nice, as is room-temperature camembert or brie.
