Strong/mature cheddar.

Living in the UK, I have never experienced the horrors of American cheese.

American "cheese" only looks and tastes kind of like cheese. Technically, it isn't actual cheese due to the process used to make it.

As for myself, it'd say it depends on mood. Brie, pepper jack, feta, and cheddar are among my favorites though.

I agree. "American Cheese" isn't cheese. It is a combination of milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, and salt. It looks like cheese, and used in a lot of fast food services. Until I read the ingrediants, I thought it might be made from petroleum, LOL.

When cheese was first introduced in Hong Kong (and maybe other places?), many people commented that it "tasted like soap". I think now that Asian diets get more Westernized, it has become more accepted.

Crab Rangoon is one of my favorites. I also love General Tso's chicken, which I've heard was actually created in the US and not China.

I believe General Tso's chicken is an Americanization of a Taiwanese dish. which originally had a different name. On the other hand, apparently there does exist a Chinese dish called General Tso's chicken that is completely different and can only be found in remote areas of China.

As for pronunciation, who cares? :P The Mandarin pronunciation is Zuo if you want a "right" pronunciation but since we're speaking English, I just say it how I see it.

How in the world has havarti not been listed yet? Absolutely my favorite cheese ever, (perfect for crackers). Of course it needs to be a high-quality havarti to be any good. Second favorite is a well aged cheddar, and I mean *well* aged. I generally buy "extra sharp" cheddar from the store and put it in the back of my fridge (still sealed) and leave it there for about a year or so and let it age even more. Start doing that and you'll have some really good cheese. I've tried making cheese myself but I can't seal it well enough to allow it to age for any decent length of time so it comes out pretty bland.

I guess I'm one of the few that actually do (or at least will admit they do) like American cheese! Not the cheap sandwich singles stuff though, but from the deli.

I also like Havarti, when I'm buying meats and cheeses for lunches I will alternate or mix American and Havarti.

For mac & cheese I like mild cheddar. I'll also sometimes just eat a hunk of cheddar plain, perhaps with crackers.

Of course, mozzarella on pizzas or just mozzarella sticks dipped in sauce. Parmesan on the pizza too, or on pasta (mmm, especially fettuccini alfredo).

Cheese sauce recipe:

Melt 2 tbsp butter (not marge) in small pan.
Add 2 tbsp flour and stir.
Slowly add 1 cup full cream milk while stirring.
Add 1 cup mature cheddar cheese (or whatever you prefer but stronger cheeses work better or mix different types) and stir till melted. Can also add more cheese to change consistancy etc, play around. For bigger servings double up on flour & butter. You can also add things like pepper, herbs etc to the sauce.

You don't want the plate too hot else you are going to burn it, medium to low heat so it just bubbles.

This makes for an excellent dip for chips/fries, battered fish balls etc, also good on toast, burgers etc. Uses are endless.

I've added cheddar, gouda & parmesan and it never gets stringy at all. think it's due to the flour & milk. The flour & butter is essentially a 'Roux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roux)'. The cheese sauce is commonly known as a Mornay sauce (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornay_sauce) in French.

You could also saute some mushrooms and add a bit of white wine that you can add to the cheese sauce to make a cheesy mushroom sauce which is excellent with burgers and stuff like that.

The cheese sauce is extremely simple & quick to make and absolutely delicious. First timers that try it are amazed at the results. If you are making a small portion maybe try a bit less flower&butter as you don't want a flowery consistency.

Me, I just love food & cooking :D

I can't stand Swiss cheese cooked. It really is better by itself.

Agreed. Swiss cheese by itself, directly from the refrigerator, is good. Whenever it is heated it seems to lose a lot of its flavor and completely loses its texture.

Thats fairly similar to my 'easy fondue' version. Just change the order and then change 'milk' to 'wine' or 'beer' or 'cider' (I love cider fondue).That really sounds nasty to me.

I think I like Swiss better melted on a toasted turkey sandwich.

I had that once, didn't really like it. Now the cheese sauce with milk sounds good (gonna try that on my own sometime).

I`m just enjoying some cornish mature english goats cheese.

Good on it`s own, better in a toastie with spring onions, tomatoes and worcestershire sauce, with hp on the side :)

We have a local Danish goats milk Feta which is to die for compare to other fetas, a lot smoother & silkier with great taste.

Yes, but once it's melted, it loses the smell. It's simply the creamiest cheese available. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.......... :)

Its actually very good. I much perfer cider or beer based fondue over wine.

Its probably something that could be done badly with the wrong combonation of cheese and cider/beer, but with the rigth stuff its fantastic. Cheddar works well with both beer and cider. ;)

Most of the alcohol gets boiled off in the cooking process. Well, with beer and cider it does, with wine there tends to be a bit more of an alcolhol taste, but its still not that strong.

I dont eat red meat at all, and normally the smell of cookign meat makes me sick. The times when I've smelt Beef Burgundy its beenm the wine smell that I dislike more than the meat smell. I'm not sure I've eaten Chicken Marsala, but if I'm right I did have some several years ago and it was awful as well.

If you like beer brats you would probabyl like beer based fondue. As logn as you dont pu to much beer in, its fairly subtle (ohh, and dont use stout...IMO anyway. Its way to strong and doesnt combine well with cheese. I use larger). BTW, you can make it in very small quantities- I've made beer based fondue in protions that wouldnt even fill one person.

Nope. If it was rat milk, you might have a point.

In general, cheese supplies a great deal of calcium, protein, phosphorus and fat. A 30-gram (1.1 oz) serving of Cheddar cheese contains about 7 grams (0.25 oz) of protein and 200 milligrams of calcium. Nutritionally, cheese is essentially concentrated milk: it takes about 200 grams (7.1 oz) of milk to provide that much protein, and 150 grams (5.3 oz) to equal the calcium.[18]

Cheese potentially shares other nutritional properties of milk. The Center for Science in the Public Interest describes cheese as America's number one source of saturated fat, adding that the average American ate 30 lb (14 kg) of cheese in the year 2000, up from 11 lb (5 kg) in 1970.[19] Their recommendation is to limit full-fat cheese consumption to 2 oz (57 g) a week. Whether cheese's highly saturated fat actually leads to an increased risk of heart disease is called into question when considering France and Greece, which lead the world in cheese eating (more than 14 oz/400 g a week per person, or over 45 lb/20 kg a year) yet have relatively low rates of heart disease.[20] This seeming discrepancy is called the French paradox; the higher rates of consumption of red wine in these countries is often invoked as at least a partial explanation.

Some studies claim that cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss and American cheeses can help to prevent tooth decay.[21][22] Several mechanisms for this protection have been proposed:

* The calcium, protein, and phosphorus in cheese may act to protect tooth enamel.
* Cheese increases saliva flow, washing away acids and sugars.
so cheese is good for ya!

OK, if your going to post what is obviously a copy n paste job, a link is always nice IMO.

2 oz a week? LOL, I wonder what they recommend for alcohol intake (1 standard drink a year? On at least 5 different days, you cant have that much at once) or junk food intake (1/4 of a burger once a year)?

I cant say much for greece, but I have heard from various soruces that the french are far more active than peopple in the US, UK, Canada, NZ or australia. I'd be willing to bet that the extra physical activity counts at least as much as red wine, and I'd guess it helps a lot more than wine.

But I guess that telling people to get of thier @$^@$^ butts and do some exercise is a lot more unpalatable (and 'unsellable') than a magic bullet with added alcohol content.

Nope, it's made of the sugary part of the milk. Think of it as "milk sausage".

Nothing like french cheeses. When you try "tarte au reblochon" (reblochon is a cheese from the Savoy Alps) you'll see.
Or goat's cheese with honey, on some nice bread, a minute or two in the oven.
