Big cheese fan but I was never a fan of Blue.

My mother was, I am not. Always tasted like ants to me, no matter what kind I tried.

Yeah, but what kind of ants?

I am amazed that nobody has offered this up yet.....Stilton Blue Cheese Cheesecake.  I had it at a restaurant in Calgary called Notables and it is worth the trip from Houston to get it!  My favorite topping is rhubarb compote but there are several recipes with different choices.  Google it and see which one sounds best to you.  And as it has been said a few times, you can thank me later.

Ants are too sweet to taste like cheese. Ants are natures sweet tarts. At least the big fat black ones are.

If you ever decide to eat a big ant, smash it with your teeth immediately or it may bite your tongue. True story.

Thats certainly interesting. I mean it doesn't sound good for a cheese cake but I guess it could work.

Baby blue like SAGA on sliced pears is one of my favorites.

Kettle cooked potato chips spread out on a pizza pan.  Crumble a bunch of blue cheese on top.
Bake in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic reduction.

So good

was inspired by this thread so I gave it a try with some soft blue from trader joes and pears.

can't say I'm a fan, the cheese doesn't go well with the pear. it's overpowering.

Cool. Look at the pic in my op. See all that deep thick blue marbling?  That's what you're looking for. It like picking a steak. The more deep dispersed thick marbling the better. But instead of fat you're looking for mold.

As weird as that seems it's true.  A few pea sized crumbles with one bite should hit you intense flavor noggin with a knockout blow.

Bleu cheese (Stilton, usually) with a ruby red port is amazing.  

Bleu cheese on it's own, however, is still awesome.  Melt it on a burger or some kettle chips, toss it into a salad (arugala) with balsamic, toasted pine nuts or walnuts, bleu with pears . . .

Mmmmmmmmmm, bleu cheese.

For future reference, Mr. Fancy Eats....it's not "palette"  

pal·ate
'pal?t/Submit
noun
1.
the roof of the mouth, separating the cavities of the nose and the mouth in vertebrates.
synonyms:roof of the mouth, hard/soft palate
"the tea burned her palate"
2.
a person's appreciation of taste and flavor, especially when sophisticated and discriminating.
"a fine range of drink for sophisticated palates"
synonyms:(sense of) taste, appetite, stomach
"menus to suit the tourist palate"

The sharper and stronger the flavor the better
 

I buy Danish blue over Stilton.  Stilton has a very nice crumbly smooth texture but it just doesn't pack enough punch.

If it's good, and especially if it's expensive, it ain't blue, it's "bleu".

One of the most sublime meals of my life was a good ribeye steak, accompanied by a good, fresh French bread and butter, with a salad and a good bleu cheese, accompanied by a good Cabernet Sauvignon.

Give this one a try, creamed onion gratin.  You won't need much blue to have the taste of it throughout.

This is a different one.  Couldn't find the recipe but from memory; 1 stick softened butter, wedge of gorgonzola or blue, rough crushed pine nuts (so some are still whole).  Mix well, spread on crusty bread and broil until starting to brown.  We tried adding fried prosciutto bits in it too.  Very good.

Lol.  Youre way overthinking this.  Cheese is basically milk solids that are left to rot at room temp for 3 months.  Thats about it.

Never tried Limburger but I would.  I've only met one cheese I didn't like and it was a goat/cow milk hard cheese I had at a wine bar outside the castle in Lisbon. It tasted like I was chewing on a cows hoof, the Europeans in the place tried telling me that the more it tastes like the barnyard the better the cheese.   They can have those.
