The most cheesy cheese one can taste is emmental (you know, the stereotypical cheese used in cartoons and that mice supposedly like)

Far from it bro. Get some good extra mature Stilton or cheddar. If there is one thing the Brits do well, it's cheese.

Haha, enjoying this convo. Also, to comment on the original article - that is one nutty conclusion, they seriously think a part of us came from Mars? :idea: Oooo, what if, what if Mars was like Earth (I know that studies suggest it was a bit like Earth) and that planet's fate is ours? Creepy.

I think that cheese may have evolved us....

Just gotta say there is a place for the processed sliced cheese, and thats grilled on some white bread with japanese mayo.

Why, oh WHY do all of our conversations turn toward cheese?

Bloody bouzouki players.

Mozzarella is like tofu. By itself, it barely has any taste whatsoever. It's got its own vague thing going on, but it's not something you'd eat as side dish.

Mix it with something else though, and it makes whatever you're eating taste better (within reason, of course). Melt it on a tomato, throw it on a pizza, mix it with some pasta. It's the perfect Italian food taste enhancer.

Try whole milk mozzarella instead of skim or part-skim. My whole world changed the first time I tried it. If school lunch string cheese had been whole milk mozz, it would've been my favourite lunch item.

I just might. Next time I'm at the store picking up more white cheeses (I practically live off of sandwiches, and swiss and provolone are my preferred cheeses), I'll pick some up.

Especially a nice crumbly buffalo mozzarella. Makes you realise that most mozzarella is basically glorified rubber (although it does have its culinary functions).

Emmental is good cheese, but relatively mild in flavour compared with most. The best cheddar I have ever tasted is Canadian unpasteurised (sorry pregnant ladies and immunocompromised folk) vintage 36 month matured cheddar. It is practically white, but somehow they've managed to keep a cheese going for 36 months without it being too salty, so the result is creamy, but also like someone is flying a cheddar gunship into your face with all guns firing. The Corsican cheese that hopper refers to is probably similar to (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_marzu) THIS.

Yeaaahhh, I think you found my cheese line.

Just had some Morbier with bresaola for lunch. Never had Morbier before. Interesting. Nice.
