I like all the cheeses that you mentioned. My palette is far from sophisticated, so all those soft rindy cheeses start to taste the same to me, some sharper, some creamier. I do like some herbed goat cheeses I've had and agree with Detroitdad that Edam is very good (I find Dutch cheeses more appealing). Don't forget Emental (that's swiss to all you colonists).

A block of parmesan (parmigiano reggiano) and it is a tasty treat. The kraft parmesan cheese that you put on spaghetti is passable, but get the block kind and it is a great treat or you can put it on a variety of foods.

SteelBlue's rule of cheeses: The more a cheese smells like feet, the better it is likely to taste.

Asians generally aren't big on cheese - they think it smells bad. My mission comp and I used to "teach english" (using a very loose definition of the term) at a hotel in Bangkok - teaching the bell hops. We were supposed to be doing it as volunteers but we worked out a deal with the hotel manager where he would pay us by letting us order anything we wanted off the hotel menu after class each week. Our favorite thing to order was the cheese platter. Nothing fancy - just a mix of your plain-jane swiss, american, cheddar, etc. But it was sweet ambrosia to our dairy-product-starved tastebuds.
There were a couple of cute sister missionaries in our district that started teaching english to the housekeepers at the same time. For about two months we would go with the sisters to the hotel restaurant and get our free meals after each class. Man, eating a cheese platter in the hotel restaurant with a couple of cute sister missionaries once a week is about as close to Nirvana as missionary life gets. I was definitely sad when I got transfered out of that area. |
