When I was still consuming cow dairy, among my favorites were aged cheddar, monterey jack, mozzarella. Monterey jack was especially delicious on refried beans. :yummy: Mr. Stomper makes a lasagna to die for, all melty with mozzarella. :drool:
I grew up on processed American cheese as a kid, but I don't know if I can rightly call it "food" now. :P Although it did make for a great grilled-cheese sandwich.
:hatsuharu: I discovered that grain-fed, processed, pasteurized, lactose-laden cow dairy doesn't sit so well in my stomach anymore. I don't know if I'm lactose intolerant as I've never been tested. Maybe just conventional milk is bad for me. I'd be open to trying grass-fed raw milk if it were legal and available. But alas, I simply gave up cow dairy altogether.
However, one day I was brave enough to try goat cheese. It doesn't cause any reaction at all, and I eventually got used to its flavor. Now I treat myself to some goat cheese and goat yogurt now and then. Occasionally, a 2-liter jug of goat milk, but that costs over $8.00 CAD. :faint: So only once in awhile. (That's more than a 4-liter jug of cow milk!)
This list is hardly exhaustive as I know there are a skillion varieties of cheese, and I probably missed some "international cheeses" as well. So if you don't see your favorite on the list, please let us know what you like. :cheese:
Diamond, am I going to have to make a wine poll and a cracker poll next? :lol: :serve:
