Does anyone else like to eat big chunks of Paramesean Cheese?  I am not talking about the foul grated stuff Kraft sells.  I am talking about good quality Paramesean Cheese bought in wedges.  That stuff is good!  I will eat a piece about the size of the small Halloween size candy bars at the most.  Usually about half of that and I love it.

I have always liked the "stinky" cheeses and very much enjoy eating Bleu Cheese,  Swiss is another favorite although I do not consider it a stinky cheese.  What do you say ARFCOMERS?  What are your favorite cheeses?

Try a chunk with a little high quality Balsamic vinegar drizzled on...not the watery stuff used for salads, but the expensive stuff that is thick like syrup....oh man!

Gorgonzola and blue are awesome, IF they are the good kinds - not the mass-produced shit.  Provolone and whole-milk mozzarella are awesome, too.

NOTE - the best way to enjoy cheese is to let it assume room temparature before eating - increases the flavors.  I didn't believe it till I tried it.

Brie is my favorite, nice and ripe served at room temperature. I also love Gorgonzola, Parmesan - shaved, not grated, Reggiano, Fresh, whole milk Mozzarella and a nice sharp Cheddar, oh and Swiss, I love Jarlsberg.

Brie, warm, crusty baguette and a nice fruity red wine...Mmm!!

Bleu cheese is a favorite.  Feta is really awesome too.  In fact Whole Foods has Feta stuffed olives that are to die for.  Smoked Gouda and Jarlsberg.

Parmigiano-reggiano is the undisuted king of Parmesan cheeses. Not all store will carry it and it will costs a bit more than a regular Paramesean Cheese wedge. Look for one with flavor crystals sprinked though out. OMFG when you find a store that carries it but a few wedges so you dont run out

The rind can be made into a great cheese, potato, bacon soup. Just pop the rinds into a freezer bag then store in the freezer untill you have enough for a pot of soup.

The best comes with the consortium stamp on the rind, indicating it has passed the quality control measures.

Those are not "flavor crystals" but rather minerals that have crystallized out of the cheese.

Careful, this is expensive cheese.  Look to pay at least $10 a pound.

Right on about the good, quality balsamic vinegar from Modena.  Don't get the cheap stuff, this stuff starts at $15 for a 250 ml bottle and goes up.  Only a few drops are needed for cheese.  Also try it on strawberries.

Ah, real consortium Parmigiano Reggiano with some aceto balsamico tradizionale.  That is an awesome combo.  It's a shame that the tradizionale runs about $50 or more per 4 ounces.

Mmmmm cheese.  

Edam is probably my favorite, but a good shredded parm is great stuff.  I never cared for grated, and certainly not that crap in the green cans.  I buy block cheese whenever possible.

Up in Sheboygan (sp?)....we were doing some emissions testing at an automotive plant (I think they made seats for GM...it was a while ago).

I drove up the equipment....through Chicago, to Milwaukee to stay overnight and pick up the rest of the crew in the morning, then up....oh, had some really good beer there too! Drove past Harley Davidson...I liked Milwaukee, reminded me of Buffalo...had that old rust belt, old industrial feel to it...

I like several different types of cheese, but can not do the blue cheese...........oh no.

One cheese that has not been mentioned is. Hog head cheese.  Really good on Ritz Crackers.  I don't know if it is a cheese per say, because its made out of lips, ears, brains, snouts, and such.  Just don't take a really big bite cause it can swell on ya....

I don't know how anything that comes in a cardboard container and can sit on a grocery shelf for months or years, un-refrigerated (or at least kept cool) can be called cheese.

I could eat chunks of parmesean cheese all day! I also like it shaved/thinly sliced on salad.
