You guys have mentioned many of my favorites, like Muenster which I can't find here in Mexico. Then there's Edam and Gouda, which you have to be careful because they sell stuff that says "Tipo Edam" or "Tipo Gouda" which means that it's not the real stuff made in Holland, but a "type" made in Mexico.

Ah, Nathan, thanks for mentioning Manchego. Now this is a delightful, full-flavored cheese. Again, it must be made in Spain, which like someone said, is very expensive here in the Americas.

One of my favorites is Port Salut which is a very strong tasting and smelling cheese --- great with crackers before dinner.

Nathan also mentioned Gruyere, a world famous cheese. In the USA it's commonly known as Swiss Cheese and mostly made in Wisconsin. The real stuff comes form France or Switzerland, and once you've tried it, you won't go back to regular Swiss Cheese.

Hey, how about the "smelly" cheeses like Camerbert (sp?) or Roceforte (sp?) --- excuse my spelling.

Jarlsberg, anybody?

Maybe you mean Rochefort, Moneo. I love rochefort. In Spain we have a similar cheese called "Queso Azul" o "Queso de Cabrales" which is different but tastes really good as well.

I hate Camembert I think it's one of the only cheeses I dislike.

Limburger cheese is great. Especially when you smear it on somebody's exhaust pipe. >:->

Ah, Moneo, Gruyere, that's how you spell it. Well, I just bought some of that smoked - it's not bad, not my favorite, though.
And in Canada, you generally have to go to a specialty cheese shops to get the real cheeses made in their native localities, i.e. Cheddar, England for Cheddar, Switzerland Gruyere.
Now I'm not sure how to spell it - camombere? Anyway, I like that one, and I forgot to of course mention Brie, which is delicious melted on a pita bread for a snack.

I personaly like Swiss...Ohhh...yeah. Oh, and parmesan(spelled wrong) and of course a delicious dessert cheese, Brie!

I like all sorts of cheese. I'm not sure, but of all the cheeses I have tried I have liked them all. But I haven't really tried too many of those 'fancy' cheeses that are expensive. I gotta say that my favorite is monteray jack, cause it's so stretchy when melted. But I like cheese a lot.

It makes me feel sad for my ex-girlfriend... she was allergic to milk!!!

Anyone try Stilton? It's my brother's favorite. I don't really like the blue cheeses, though.
