Ten favorite Cheeses

Ten on Tuesday's meme today is about 10 favorite cheeses.  Cheese and I have a love/ hate relationship, when I was a child I only liked America---and that I only like alone or in a grilled cheese sandwich.  I have never enjoyed cold cheese on a sandwich with two minor exceptions---I enjoy provolone on an Italian sub, and I like mozzerella on chicken or ham sandwiches with roasted red peppers.

I do love cheese now, but Tom is limited as to which he can eat, he can't eat aged cheese as it is very high in tyramine levels---which means increased prostrate growth and ER trips for a catheter, its easier to avoid cheese.

Some of our favorites have included:

1. Swiss---nutty and an absolute favorite snacking cheese
2. Wispride Spreadable Cheddar---I prefer it without the wine and do still snack on this a few times a week
3. Homemade ricotta  super easy to make and the best there is
4. Mozzarella---even though buffalo is the best even the plain old everyday solid block can taste pretty good
5. Romano/Parmesan   who could think of pasta without it.
6. Muenster--I have always enjoyed this especially over a burger
7. Ricotta Salata---just a great snacking cheese.
8. Cream Cheese----you can make it savory, you can make it sweet----how versatile can you get.
9. Cheddar---a staple I miss since its usually aged although we do sneak in some jack cheeses into our diet,they aren't aged as long
10. Feta---but only cold, I don't like it in cooked foods like omelets. But give me a Greek salad, or fish taco's and yummmmmmo!

A cheese I can't stand is Asiago----it just doesn't taste right to me, but Tom has always loved it and before we knew he shouldn't eat it he put it in everything well I finally had to speak up because I just wasn't enjoying anything he cooked.  For him it is goat cheese---which I enjoy a lot. He doesn't care for the tang!

And this ends  our tour through Cheeseville today.

Knit On!!!
