I must say that I have an intense interest in sharp prov.  I like it on sandwiches, by itself, on top of a naked woman... you name it.  I just love the stuff.

Curse you, Jough, now my favorite sharp provolone, nostalgic cheese of my Italian childhood, is ruined forever.

[Choop]

a whole long list o' cheeses

Yeah, I had about thirty poll options because it doesn't limit how many you can add, just how many you can post. Dur! The fact that the "Add Option" button submits to the server and doesn't check to see whether the limit is already met just Steams My Britches. Usability, people! Usability!

Most of those I deleted to make it fit were in your list, though; however, specifying Norwegian Jarlsberg and Greek Feta when Jarlsberg and Feta made it to the damn poll is, oh, an exercise in picking nits, perhaps?

What a senseless waste of human life.

[Choop]

Dayum! I'm just all sorts of not-picking-up-on-things lately...


Good thing I quit smoking pot, then. Apparently I've lost enough brain cells already.

[wombat]

What a senseless waste of human life.

Don't feel unappreciated or anything, I got it, I just couldn't think of a clever reply in time...  I suppose it was my foolish mistake to think that just another "I love AugustWest" post was uncalled for.

[AugustWest]

I wasn't trying to be caustic, that's just the last line of the sketch.

You can never have too many "I love AugustWest" posts.

I know!  I know! But I don't know who Pearlie Baker is!  Oh, now August is thinking we are all too dumb to get his jokes and he's going to leave us for another messageboard!

[V-Adore]

Is there actually such a thing as "Venezuelan Beaver Cheese?"

If so, does it actually involve... you know... beaver milk?

And where do they sell these sorts of things, anyway?

oh god I am too stupid for this messageboard

[linnea]

Oh, God. Cheese is definitely one of my most favorite foods.

My all-time, hands-down, best-cheese-award goes to... GOUDA!

Goat gouda particularly. Gah... it is just perfection in dense dairy form.

Second place goes to.... SMOKED CHEDDAR! Flavor Burgers just wouldn't be the same without you, baby.

And the bronze medal is awarded to... ASIAGO! You make ciabatta worth living for.

Thank you, cheese, for being such an awesome food product. <3 <3 <3

[Choop]

Can I just go ahead and applaud you all for choosing neither "I Hate Cheese..." nor "American?"

Thanks.

Thanks.

Well, Pearlie Baker is August West's long lost love.  They're both characters in the Grateful Dead song "Wharf Rat".  August is a dirty smelly bum who tells his story to the narrator.  He knows that Pearlie's been true to him.  He's sure of it.

Lord knows I don't think anybody around here is dumb.  And I'd never leave because then I'd have no social life at all.

To actually respond to the topic of the thread:

I chose Swiss.  This is one of those unanswerable questions, like "What's your favorite music?" or "Who's the greatest guitar player?"  Swiss was the first thing to come to mind, but the cheese is such a vast and wonderful world of flavorocity that you can't choose just one.

I'm a big Feta lover.  You can't go wrong with a really really sharp Cheddar (Welsh Rarebit -- mmm).  Gorgonzolas, bleu, smoked Gouda.  I can't really think of a cheese that I don't like -- although I will admit to be less fond of the soft cheeses in the Brie/Camembaert line.

I meant to post about this when we did it, but Mrs. West and I had a very expensive meal (for us) about 10 days ago.  We went to the Melting Pot, a fondue restaurant (the cheese connection).  It was pretty excellent, but expensive.  Also, it's like an event -- the meal took 3.5 hours.

[Ben-San]

I like many cheeses a lot but Jarlsberg particularly.
I kind of have a grudge against asiago for reasons that are a little unfair to the cheese itself: a couple of sandwich chains tried to make asiago "hip" (or maybe it became hip on its own and I just didn't notice and they were riding the bandwagon) so for a while there were enormous gobs of asiago in everything even when it was counterproductive or at least unnecessary. It's not a bad cheese but this is the sort of thing that can prejudice a fellow against it.

Aw shucks.  And a rodent, sort of, even.

Thanks.

I picked American. Because AMERICAN. IS. RAD. If Velveeta was up there, i would have picked that. Because I am poor white trash. Although i do envy you Achewood foodies, i just don't have the time/money, so i haven't even heard of half the cheeses y'all are talking about. But I'm sure they're...you know...good and all. Because cheese is the main reason vegans have crappy lives.
