Man, this is such a great thread. My hometown is roughly an hour from Tillamook, so we used to take day trips and get free samples from the factory. Ok, my favorites are:

Colby
Pepperjack
Smoked Cheddar (only Tillamook)
Gouda
Brie

But most of all:
CREAM CHEESE....it's sex in cheese form

hahaha, oh man you ain't lyin!! i lay the cream cheese on THICK on bagels, crackers, and when it's in crab dip....FUHGEDDABOUDIT!!!!! :D

Gotta have cheddar cheese made in the wonderful Cheese State of Wisconsin..nothing even compares.

Easy: Brie, Camembert, and Gouda.

Sounds good, Mr Mephisto. I will have to give this one a try!

Thanks

Vermont Extra Sharp white Cheddar

or Emmenthaler

Depends on my mood

Gouda, straight from Holland. So good.

Hey...I have to tell you.... I have a hunting camp in Amish country in New York State. I've had Wisconsin cheddar, and I'm going to tell you that the XXX sharp cheddar cheese made by the Amish is to me just as good if not better!
My 2 cents... that's all!

I'll stick to the nasty American cheese, La vache qui rit cheesewheels, cream cheese with veggies mixed in for a nice dip...

And BRIE WITH BAGUETTTTEESSSSSSS...:droool: Bad me.

Tough call. By itself I like a sharp cheddar (especially with a nice mustard to dip it in). On a sandwich, lorraine-swiss rapes all.

Mozzarella, provologne, and american. All depends on what I am eating it with.

I love sharp chedder. If I had to pick only one cheese for the rest of my life, that would be it. Recently I bought a pick piece of some that was so sharp it had the texture and pungency of parmession. It was good, especially on an antipasto platter, but it was not ideal for melting.

Thankfully I don't have to make such a choice and can continue to enjoy swiss, and blue, and goat, and provolone. Queso blanco is great also. I love fresh mozzerella with ripe tomatos and fresh basil with some olive oil.

Swiss

St Andre with a crusty french bread
Stilton with a fine glass of Port
a perfectly aged Pave D'Affinois with a perfect glass of Burgandy

this is tough. Nachos = chedder
just sandwichs i like monteray jack or pepper jack ( bassically the same thing )
motzerella is pretty damn good on a lot of stuff like pizza and the sticks!
but we've got this local place called the breakfast club, and they've got this tomato basil cheese oh my god 2 die 4 ! only had it in omelettes though, but its pretty sick.

Parmesian cheese is the best of them all. I love the stuff. my next favorite is Kraft singles (makes great sandwiches).
