Swiss comes in so many varieties and flavors. I've know folks who
claimed to hate Swiss cheese, only to devour half my wedge of

be a little bitter.

I luv Jarlsberg! I make grilled cheese under the broiler so the cheese
gets toasted brown spots...

stinky cheese is the best cheese...I like all the varieties of Swiss...my
alltime favorite cheeses, though, are the Stiltons.


Stilton is the king of cheese. There are many fine cheeses, but none so
noble as Stilton. It's England's contribution to world cusine.

Did you know that Stilton is actually a cheddar? Blue cheddar, but
cheddar nonetheless.


The original Stilton was a mistake of a serendipitous nature. Someone
forgot to turn the cheddar wheels, so I read.


..having a
difficult time finding a store down here that carries them...up north
the regular grocers have Stiltons in their cases, but not down here...


One of the many benefits of living in the civilived world, Katy. There's
probably no goat cheese or sheeps cheese either.

Ah, cheese - one of my three favorite things.

See http://hometown.aol.com/berrymanp/alyrics/14chee.html


Two of our local supermarkets carry such a wide variety of cheeses,
including some I've never encountered before, that I'd probably die of
coronary artery disease before sampling all of them.

We also noticed a paucity of some of the more esoteric grocery items while
visiting NC. But since New Yorkers are moving there en masse, it won't be
long before that situation is remedied.
