Certain types of cheese do go well in soup, but the problem is that you must heat it very gently. If you heat it too strongly, you get the effect you noted John. Other types of cheese don't take well to heating at all, especially Low Fat and other 'unnatural forms' of cheese.

It's like cooking with eggs - scrambled eggs should not be cooked too fast or too long, or they go tough.

One good use for those 'cheese slices' that are not real slices of real cheese, but a sort of cream cheese paste, is to put them in soups/stews. If done carefully, they will emulsify and form a nice cheesy white sauce.

My best friend's mother taught us to eat cheese and sugar toasted on a tortilla, as a dessert. I thought it sounded like a horrible idea at first but it's really not bad. Kind of a Tex-Mex cheese danish.

Mostly, though, it's hard to go wrong with cheese. It's got to be real cheese, though, not that Velveeta crap.

I don't think I've ever bought grated cheese but I do find it useful. Sometimes one of our local supermarkets will for example have good blocks of a nice strong cheddar on special offer. Our food mixer/blender has a grating blade so once in a while I do make a bag or two up to keep in the fridge.

I love to eat cheese 'cause it's so versatile,
I'll be having a slice on my toast in a while.
Putting it in your soup is a wheeze,
But if it goes sticky, well it's just "hard cheese".

Sir John....I love to eat slices of cheese with apple. Cheese and jam toasties are great but let them cool a bit before eating as the jam can burn. Cheese and Branston sandwiches are good too.
Best wishes.

One cheese two cheese
Cream cheese, blue cheese
This cheese has a little rind
This cheese causes one to "bind"
My goodness - look at all the cheese we find!




Seriously - cheese is so versatile - so yummy - and there is such a variety of it! One of the groceries was having a "blue cheese" special last week - they had to have had close to twenty different varieties - and they ranged from a soft (ripened) cheese to a very hard grating cheese - the "blue" veins actually ranged from white, to green, to light blue, to a very dark blue; while the bodies of the cheese also ranged through white to dark orange. I wish I'd had more money - I would have gone on a cheese tasting orgy!

Lately I've tended to take cheese trays to parties or other gatherings that are "pot lucks" - usually because of convenience - I don't have to keep something refrigerated and or hot - and I usually am heading to the function from work - which makes it even more difficult. and now you can get a good variety - unlike when I was a kid and all you could find was cheddar; "american"(= fake) and if you were LUCKY - mozzerella - maybe some cans of the dried up grated parmesan.

Maybe what those of you in Australia call an "old cheese", we in the US call an "old fart". Yeah... I guess I'm officially one of those, or will be in a couple of years. What's the official age of onset of "old cheese/old fart"ism? (I'm not quite fifty yet, but almost.)

In the north east - and Yorkshire, I understand, it's the custom at Christmas to serve a slice of Wensleydale cheese with Christmas cake (rich dark fruit cake). Sounds a bit odd but it is yummy.

Cheese and fruit cake is so good it should be illegal.

A Scaffolder's breakfast is a good use for cheese.

it consists of

cheese on
fried eggs on
beans on
toast.

Put it under the grill to melt the cheese into the eggs.

Now isn't that a coincidence. I put grated cheese into soup towards the end of the warm-up lap. And then drop a few more bits when it is in the bowl. It will not be surprising that I prefer tomato.

I haven't tried this in Mushroom because the bowl is usually full (not mush room!) . I'll get my coat..........

I'd said above that I did't think I'd bought grated cheese but now I remember a time when we did. I don't know if they still do it and there is not one near me but at one time Asda used to do a sort of mixture of what I guess were the left over bits from maybe cutting to get pre-packed stuff - there was more than one cheese in it and it was nice and quite cheap.

Now that I know it's fruit cake I'll be sure to try it at Christmas. I'm not sure I can get Wenselydale here, though; is there a substitute that's more common in the U.S.?

I don't know MMario. I had heard there were good American cheeses.

Looking through the "Real Cheese Book" (ISBN 07112 04756), a book I have at the desk now, I see it has a few US entries under the same category (Semi-Hard Cheese) as it lists the ones I mentioned in:

Brick, Chantelle, Colby, Cornhusker, Gold'n'Rich, Montery Jack, and Sno-Belle. I have never come across any of these.

BTW, while looking through this book, I discovered that there is more than one Wenslydale. To me I put it in my own "white crumbly with a bit of a 'lactic taste' category" but there is also a blue which until 1930 was better known. Apparently neither of these were the original. The book says it started life as a ewes milk cheese not a cows milk one and indicates it and similar cheeses came to the Yorkshire Dales after the Norman Invasion in 1066 and this one was a recipe "owned" by Cistercian Monks.

Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese
From: Blowzabella

If you can't get Wensleydale, Scoville, then look for something mild and, yes, crumbly. Lancashire cheeses are so widely differing in their tastes - some (Grandma Singleton's Lancashire Tasty, for instance) are incredibly strong (and get stronger by the day!). A white Cheshire might be ok. Not Red Leicester though.

We do seem to have a wonderful selection of cheeses nowadays in the UK - much much better than when I was growing up - and more supermarkets which stock local and regional specialities. Not just cheese, but breads, cakes, biscuits - yum!


10 Aug 04 - 03:21 PM (#1244366)
Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese
From: GUEST,MMario

well - I've never seen Chantelle, Cornhusker, Gold'n'Rich, or sno-belle either...

Colby and monteray jack are available - NOW - 20 years ago you wouldn't have seen them outside of the cities...- your choice was cheddar - - if you were lucky a sharp as well as a mild - or "american" (ie: fake); pre-grated canned parmasan, and if you were really lucky - mozzerella -


I was in my 40's before I saw goat cheese for retail sale outside of a specialty gourmet shop - (with the exception of my great-aunt's farm) - for decades my only experience with Brie and Camenbert were the little foil wrapped wedges sold as snacks - which are no more Brie and Cammembert then "american" cheese is.

ODE TO CHEESE

Cheese that is grated
And cheese that is not
Cheese served cold
And cheese served hot.
Cheese that is white
Cheese that is yellow
Cheese that is sharp
And cheese that is mellow.
Cheese that is sour
And cheese with full flavor
Cheese just to snack on
And cheese you just savor.
Eat cheese by candlelight
Relaxed in the tub
Eat cheese stacked high
On your favorite sub.
Cheese on a picnic
Reclined in the grass
Eat all that cheese
And it'll plug up your ass.
