    I love Camembert, Brie & Gruyere. I became addicted to Gruyere when I was 13 and went on an exchange trip to a French family!

    I like very mild cheese. None of this blue, smelly, mouldy shit.

    The only French cheese I like is a white soft cheese covered in black seeds, had it in a school French lesson when the teacher got the plate out.

    Since then I have stuck to Cheddar, Red Leicester and Double Gloucester.

    Brie and the like taste like snot dipped in bleach to me.

    Crackerbarrel, and Colliers are not bad as cheddar goes.

    I went out last night with the neighbours and had my first baked Camembert. Yum!
    I love blue cheeses.
    I normally only have full fat cheeses at Christmas but when at dinner parties, if hosts are offering cheese board I often go mad with it, gorge, usually makes me feel sick but I still carry on eating it.
    Cheese and I are lethal.

    Blue Stilton.
    Shropshire Blue.
    Cambozola or Bavarian Blue Brie.
    Gorgonzola.
    Fourme d'Ambert.
    (for example)

    Standard Camenbert is not normally a blue/green cheese, i.e. with (blue, maybe green) veins, but it is still yum. See Cambozola or Bavarian Blue Brie.

    Yum. Do you toast on one side or both.

    Both sides of the bread, then add cheese & grill again, stops it going too soggy. Damn i'm hungry now

    Melange de St Hubert - bought some in a market in Gascony and have never been able to find it anywhere since, but it was divine, especially with a bottle of very dry white wine

    My favourite cheese at the moment is Crofton from the Thornby Moor Dairy. It's an unpasteurised cheese made with Cow's and goat's milk.
    Strong flavoured with a creamy texture that's nether hard nor soft, it really is a one off and should be tried.

    Boring perhaps but my favourite is Mature Cheddar. Don't believe I've come across the Canadian variety.

    Brie is rubbish unless melted/cooked

    Double Gloucester/Red Leicester are also up there.

    I like 'em with Ritz crackers

    Oh my days! That reminds me of a flight back from Schipol on EasyJet, when I'd been working in Amsterdam, and me and my colleague spent most of the flight coming up with all the stuff Stelios could create with Easy in front of and one of the things was EasySqueezyCheezy, but EasyPeasy was another. The fact that we'd spent most of the day sitting in a coffee shop smoking a copious amount ganja before we headed to the airport probably had nothing to do with the conversation (nor the fact we were stoned out of our faces for the next 3 days either).

    As far as cheese goes, I don't mind a nice roule or emental. If it's going on a burger Dutch Flamin' Hot that the wife occasionally gets from Morrissons.

    I promise to brush my teeth afterwards. I use a Oral B 1000 I'll let you know.

    Paladin is a current favourite. It's a blue cheese similar to Stilton but a lot creamier, softer and a bit milder. I like a nice Bavarian smoked too.

    I really love the sweet chilli pepper & pineapple cheddar which was a special guest cheese at my local Tesco recently. Yum!

    You should give British cheese a try some time, it's far nicer than French.
