Bandoff - Cheese Edition - suggestions please

Post by StillSpike »

While we're all making our minds up about Chocolate, Digby Chicken Ceasar suggested the next edition should be cheese, and I concur (despite disliking the stuff as a child, indeed it was only when I met Mrs Spike in my late 20s that I slowly came to enjoy the stuff - introduced with a lovely Brie on holiday near Montauban)

Digby has kindly supplied the first few suggestions - as below. As he says - it's type not brand that we're after. So which cheese do you think should lose in the Final to Cheddar?

Types not brands

Cheddar
Red Leicester
Brie
Camembert
Stilton
Gorgonzola
Mozzarella
Gruyere
Feta
Gouda
Halloumi
Roquefort

and I'll add in:

Parmesan
Edam


Please ready suggestions already made - STRICTLY 2 suggestions per boarder.

Paneer, Manchego & Reblochon (tartiflette cheese) would be worth competitors - though Cheddar will clearly smash this one.

We missed out Philadelphia too! - I'm using the brand cos it's synonymous with the type.

A couple of the suggestions so far have failed initial validation.

You can't just say Norwegian - like everyone else they have many different styles.

Norwegian Blue perhaps?

In my humble opinion, Oxford Isis is the best cheese from these fair isles (Collea being an honourable mention). Bit stinky tho.
