Yesterday in my absence, the team fought over cheese. That’s fair enough. Cheese is love, cheese is life – and it’s totally worth fighting over. The biggest problem was the cheese they were arguing about, pitting Cheddar against Gouda. That’s not even a fight; while a proper Dutch Gouda (not the sickly, sweet orange stuff you get at your local supermarket) is delicious, it pales compared to a sharp and strong cheddar. They’re both pedestrian though; at least fight about gruyere or something.
Or fight about one of my favourite things to eat. It’s a holdover from 70’s restaurant cuisine, like the Avocado Ritz and Crepes Suzette, but there’s something magical about an ooey, gooey deep-fried (or crumbed and baked if you prefer) Camembert. Soft and pungent, with a crispy breading and inevitably served with something tart like cranberry, it’s the stuff dreams are made of. If you’re feeling especially decadent, you can even cover a rump steak with a wheel of camembert, like the excellent hunk-of-cheese on-top-of-a-steak Thundergun does – just ignore your arteries screaming afterwards.

How much processing goes into that?
Cheese must be unprocessed, not hard people who buy cheese for supermarkets, really.

Brady miaau

No, I buy cheese that is not processed. Some of the supermarket cheese is “real”, i.e. it does not say processed on the packing.
And I said “who buy for supermarkets”, as in the people who buy the stock for the shelves.
But, to answer your question, I buy from a little Italian shop and at a local market.

In the Western Cape we’re lucky enough to have a number of great cheesemakers in the area. Some good stuff to be found all around 🙂

I fear that well done means no juice/liquids/juicy as it’s burnt to fuck 😛 Like saying I like my beer evaporated thehehe

Ignore these heathens. Just because THEY can’t make a steak that’s both well done and juicy, apparently that means it’s impossible.

Cheddar vs Gouda.
You can see whose from the inland. Savages. ;P
Those two are to proper cheese what a BigMac is to a proper burger.

Nothing wrong with a good dose of mature cheddar.
The only cheese that I cannot even fathom is processed cheese. Blue cheese I can’t stand, but at least it’s still cheese.
