CHEESE (with a little Wine and Beer thrown in)

[michaelmaltby]

Heirlooms don't suck if you grow them yourself - least the Brandywines that I grew last summer didn't (and it was a cool summer for tomatoes)

Engineering tomatoes to "travel well" is an oxymoron.

On a warm summer morning - nothing beats thick slices of beafsteak tomato with Greek feta, oregano, drizzled with olive oil salt pepper.

The Brandywines were great that way - plenty of flesh. They just matured too slowly

(What DID we do before the Spanish came to the Americas ???? No corn, tomatoes, potatoes, tobacco, chocolate etc. )

don't forget the grilled mushrooms soaked in garlic butter or BBQ zuccini Michaeli.

anyone ever try Gush ? a mix of herbs, onion, diced celery, several cheese's into a rather thick but editable paste, the wonder on baked potatoes or a good French onion crackers with the special glas of white wine and a fine looking woman at your side

Okay...so far tonight, I've had no tea.....and three of my specials (double measures of Sweet Vermouth, Dry Vermouth, Jack Daniels, Grand Marnier, and a dash of Angostura Bitters...all in the same large glass no less !!), and half a bottle of a medium sweet Red from a local Winery (is that right ? )....and some Co-op Double Gloucester cheese.

Thought the cheese was pretty tasteless actually, much prefer a mature dontchya know !...however, my tongue lost all its senses at least an hour or two ago, so what do I know ?

I actually have a strong desire to get some New Zealand Cheddar, but I doubt any-one would be open this time of night !

Oh well, soon be time for another Barbie...Mmmmmmm...home made burgers stuffed with a cream cheese (Philly, cos I'm on a diet...yeah righty !), chicken breast stuffed with a full flavour cheese and wrapped in bacon, chunks of lamb / beef with beer poured over them during cooking (C*rslb*rg is pretty good for this !) sorry, getting carried away there for a bit.

We ate opposum with a side of saw-grass.

 

[Matt308]

That sounds really good. I'm not hungry right now but I'd go out and work up an appetite for that.

How do you keep the burger intact while you are cooking it with the cheese in the center? Other cheeses, not cream cheese, they would work on this one?

The lamb and beef, is it like a shiskebob or is it more of loose bunch of chunks in a pan? Do you let the beer boil off?

 

[timshatz]

nope, a slice of Fromunda Cheese!

Forgot about that one. American, Swiss, Chedder and FROMUNDA!(Fromundahere, fromundadare...)

[Airframes]

A few chunks of matured Tomme de Savoi, from the Savoi Region of the French Alps, with a nice bottle of Cote Du Rhone Villages.

 

[timshatz]

Good call Airframes. Pretty much all Alps cheese there.

On the whole, do you think Italian Cheeses are better or French? Talking around the Alps, within 100 miles of them. I

 

[Airframes]

Hmm. Difficult one, though I think I'd have to go with French.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I personally prefer the French cheeses, but Italian cheese is just fine. Especially the cheeses from the Alpine regions of Tirol.

 

[Matt308]

I bought a Dutch Rembrandt just today. A little apple slice and I'm a happy man.

What are you gents paying for good cheese? I'm anywhere from $9.99 to $22.99 a pound. My Dutch Rembrandt was $14.99/lb

 

[Matt308]

Oh and in the US you can't buy un-pasturized cheese that is aged less than 60-days. So one of my favorite cheeses is no longer available here... Norwegian Knokelost. It's a light buttery cheese, not unlike a more firm Havarti, but highly infused with whole caraway seeds. Just wonderful served over a dark rye bread spread with butter and an cold shot of Aaqavit liqour to wash it down.

 

[B-17engineer]

Cheddar Cheese............ mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Airframes]

Yep, all cheeses seem to be rising in price in the UK. Even an ordinary, mass-produced Cheddar is around £4 for about 250g or less. Oh, and Danish Havarti, I'd forgotten about that one! Yum yum!!
