05 Aug 04 - 08:26 PM (#1241004) Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese From: The Fooles Troupe 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. Robin |

05 Aug 04 - 10:25 PM (#1241094) Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese From: The Fooles Troupe 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.

05 Aug 04 - 10:39 PM (#1241113) Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese From: Scoville 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. |

06 Aug 04 - 03:51 AM (#1241259) Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese From: GUEST,Jon 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. |

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. |

06 Aug 04 - 10:25 AM (#1241374) Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese From: GUEST,MMario 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. |

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. |
07 Aug 04 - 05:22 AM (#1241596) Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese From: Mr Red 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 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. |

08 Aug 04 - 02:59 PM (#1242653) Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese From: Scoville I heard of the Yorkshire cheese-and-cake thing from reading (believe it or not) James Herriot. He didn't specify what kind of cake, though. 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.? |
09 Aug 04 - 07:00 AM (#1243072) Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese From: GUEST,Jon Scoville, I'd suggest Caerphilly, Cheshire, or Lancashire, as possible alternatives. |

09 Aug 04 - 04:30 PM (#1243482) Subject: RE: BS: Grated Cheese From: GUEST,Jon 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. |
09 Aug 04 - 08:46 PM (#1243671) 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.
