Lots of little odds and ends...

• Truffle Gouda
• Jack with Morel Mushroom and Leek
• Jacl with Onion and Chive
• Amish Bleu
• Trinidad Scorpion Cheddar
• 11 Year Old Wisconsin Cheddar
• 1 large block of generic Cheddar
• Cheese curds from Wisconsin
• Smoked String Cheese
• ...and something else I can't identify. Looks and smells like it might be Asiago.

 

[Dawgluver]

My cheese collection is rather pathetic in comparison. I have a tiny chunk of parm regiano, a big block of Tillamook extra sharp white cheddar, some REALLY old gouda that I extracted from the freezer that I'm almost afraid to open, Crystal Farms extra sharp shredded cheddar, Penzeys Brady Street cheese sprinkle, and grocery store brand American. And Velveeta.

 

[Cheryl J]

Not much here, either....

Parm
Swiss
White cheddar
Feta
Pepper Jack
Cotija

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Boars Head brand Picante Provolone and Gold Label Swiss
Trader Joe's Grana Padano, Fontina and Cheve
Walmart Great Value Fiesta Blend grated Cheese
That's it

Well, that was a surprise ending!

 

[Whiskadoodle]

Wish I could say the same thing about myself-- Some aged but not old cheddar cheese,
gorgonzola
cream cheese
2 containers of grated Costco parm reggiano in the freezer

 

[Addie]

None. I cleaned out the fridge, shopping tomorrow. The poor fridge looks so empty and forlorn.

You guys don't know how lucky you are. There are very few kinds of kosher cheese available. I can only drool over those list.

Ill call my wife from work to get something out from the fridge to warm to room temp. She'll tell me she can't find it, ill then reply 'Second shelf all the way to the left behind the sun dried tomatoes..' . She thinks Im crazy.

I'm impressed, Larry! I'm not home right now either, but I don't have as good a memory as you do, so I can't play! I'll try to remember to add my list when we get home Sunday.

I do know I have Parmigiano Reggiano, rosemary Asiago, Monterey Jack, cheddar, feta, Gruyére, Havarti, and Fontina. (And Velveeta and American slices ). And I have Parm rinds in the freezer.

I can only do this with food. I can tell you just about every thing I ever ate ate any restaurant in my adult life, especially if it were while i was on vacation, but i can remember where my keys are, my wallet is , what day of the week it is ...

 

[Cooking Goddess]

larry, I'm right there with ya! Fridge, pantry, food shelves in basement...doesn't matter, I can "draw" a verbal map for Himself every time I need something. Now if the dear man could just follow directions..."No, dear, it's your OTHER left side!" But if I set my glasses down for a minute? Sometimes I have to put my contact lenses in so I can find my glasses...


I checked what we have. Basically, we have enough to constipate a small, 3rd-world country. Some of these are full containers or uncut chunks of cheese. A few are just big enough for one of us to have a little snack with a few crackers and a piece of fruit. My list:

3 pints of cottage cheese
1 quart Ricotta cheese
Various Amish cheeses from our OH trip:
---Guggisburg Baby Swiss
---Walnut Creek Baby Swiss, mild Cheddar, Farmer's, Brick, Colby, lacy Swiss
Feta
Havarti
Emmental
Gruyere
Manchego
Fontina
Smoked Gouda
Old Croc sharp Cheddar
Jarlsburg
Pecorino Romano
Parmigiano-Reggiano
Various 1/2# "bricks" of cheap cheddars, monteray jack, muenster, co-jack for grating into sauces
3 or 4 1/2# bricks of Neufchatel
the ubiquitous deli bag of sliced Land-of-Lakes or Cabot American cheese

Good lord! I seem to have become a cheese hoarder.

 

[rodentraiser]

I only have a little bit of grated Parmesan. It's shopping day for me next week.

Well if it is any help, I don't. My mother had a junk drawer. She would tell me to find a certain item in that drawer. Of course I never could. She would tell me it is on the right hand side, under the whatever. And if she had to get up, I was going to get a whack across the back on my head.

 

[Addie]

Well, I went shopping and I have:
1/2 pound of sliced Land of Lakes American cheese
1 pound of finely grated Romano
3/4 pound of Shredded Three Cheese of Parm, Romano and Asiago cheese
1 Block of Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
