It's like no cheese I've ever tasted...

[unregistered_guest 8,268]

Inspired by @Wight Flight's suggestion in the chocolate thread, here's a thread to discuss your choice of cheese at the festive season. No cheese too outlandish - will @Option5 be having Norwegian brown fudge cheese, will @The Generation Game be forced to consume some post-communist cheese-flavoured plastic in the interests of international harmony, is @The XYY Man partial to a bit of coal cheddar and what Swiss cheeses would @swiss_democracy_for_all nominate?

Let the cheese course commence!

You can vote for as many cheeses as you want on this poll. But you only vote once, unless you're a registered Democrat (or dead).

Why is there no vegan cheese on that list

[ashestoashes 10,401]

thank god for cheesus

[sarahbell 18,333]

It does depend what for. 
If I'm making a cheese sauce then it can be anything that'll blow your socks off.

For a sandwich with mayo and onion, it's got to be something you can grate.
For a nice cheeky sandwich with beetroot, brie is perfectly acceptable.

This is the local delicacy around here.

Mostly I will have something like Edam or Gouda, as a national delicacy is cheese a l'ecosse.

because we all have working cocks?

even the wimmin such as spy have honorary balls for being DOSBODS members and eat proper cheese.

[mooncat69 2,662]

Any Norweigan Jarlsburg, per chance?

[LC1 7,065]

Mature cheddar is king of cheeses, and can be enjoyed everyday. For special occasions it has to be goats cheese of various kinds, blue veined of various kinds, and something that ripens to a delicious gooey ooze.

Yes, that's nice in a way that brunost isn't.

I like the incredibly smelly FRENCH cheeses that you can only find in France. I bought a bag load back on the Eurostar once. If I had farted, nobody would know, but then I also like durian ice cream.

[Bedrag Justesen 25,664]

Vaginal cheese and knob cheese.

It's all cheese.

Make your own. 

[swiss_democracy_for_all 18,077]

I like the basque Brebis cheeses.  Like this.

I wouldn't denigrate vegans' testicular configuration for not eating animal cheese, but I once had a vegan pizza because it was yellow-stickered down to 30p, and it was not very nice, so I assume a packet of vegan cheese isn't either. The ingredients seem to feature coconut quite heavily so I really can't see it at all.

Cheese is made from milk, has been since the dawn of time.  If the essential ingredient is to be removed, what exactly do they replace it with?  My guess is rubber.

But what about the food miles and CO2 emissions, these vegans (and other ethnics) who insist of using produce from half-way round the world in preference to indigenous produce are hardly environmentally friendly and therefore not very green.

If you define cheese as "something made from animal milk" then yes nothing else is authentically cheese.

Tofu is essentially the same process though and has been done by the Chynese since the 1500s so surely must count as proper efnik.

My guess would be seaweed.

I saw a sign the other day, promoting Vegan Ice Cream. I thought to myself, "Isn't there a word for that already, sorbet?"

Soft cheese - Vacherin / Mont D'Or.

I've also thought that "quorn" must use a lot or energy in processing.

Agree but I wouldn’t confuse tofu with cheese.

I know I am supposed to give AF about green air miles but I don't. When I am shopping I actually prefer something from foreign countries as it feels more exotic. I really like blueberries and I know I am supposed to be ashamed that they come from Peru and Chile but I eat them anyway. Just occasionally there are UK ones but I don't buy them. Feels funny if say I'm in Lidl in Spain and buy some Peru blueberries and thinking this is just same as I do at home.

I love using this to stick my favourite cheese to fine milled oat cakes, its also great for putting on toast instead of butter.
