Message spacecoyote 20:18 Sun 12/27/2015 Originally posted by Mayor McCheese Originally posted by spacecoyote I find that ’hot cheeses’ like pepper jack are best when used in prepared foods like melts, bakes and casseroles. Old hard Gouda is one of my favorites, very candy-like, almost as good as Brooklyn-made chocolate. Can’t argue with your first sentence, although I would use herbs/spices for some heat in such dishes. I know nothing of Brooklyn-made chocolate but I do know most US chocolate is usually a lot sweeter than our UK bars. Are you saying Brooklyn has a salty bite to it, like Old Hard Gouda can have? <))))))>< Herbs and spices for some dishes, melty gooey cheap hot cheese for others. I find that it’s the sweetness of old hard cheese, like this 60-month Gouda, that stands out more than anything. The comparison to Brooklyn chocolate was a shot across the bow, directed at the drama in the media about Mast Brothers. Though it is an apt comparison. aesthetically speaking, to liken the appeal of cheese like the one we’re discussing to that of fine candy. (* I’ve always liked Mast Brothers.)
Message rondphoto beers 5177 º places 236 º 21:09 Sun 12/27/2015 There are a lot of cheeses I like a lot, but, for enjoying with a beer that I want to fully appreciate, I like Cream Havarti and Carr’s Wafers the best because they keep the palate clean while providing a non-specific counter for the beer.

Kentucky is more like Shropshire than London, I’d imagine. And you are not too far from Abergavenny- do you see a good bit of Red Dragon in Shropshire? Cali and London prices are ’over the top’ I suppose, local knowledge can help bringing them down a little, Shropshire is fine usually although like anywhere there are some expensive food outlets and Deli’s if you are feeling rich. <))))))>< A few Welsh cheeses get across the border, can’t say I have seen any Red Dragon though. <))))))><
