First, I have to admit that I'm ignorant of almost everything there is to know about cheeses.
I use a lot of the packaged, shredded cheeses in the dairy area of the market, and love sharp cheddar and pepper Jack, but that's about my limit in cheese knowledge.
I'd like this thread to be an educational thread for those like me who would like to know more about cheeses and which are good for what types of meals.
My market has a cheese counter with about a hundred types of cheeses on it. Most are tiny little packages of brightly colored foil wrappers and hold cheeses I've never even heard of.
I love soft cheese that is creamy and rich and would go well on a Ritz cracker as a snack with or without meats.
What are your favorite cheeses and why? How do you prepare your favorite cheese? How do you use your favorite cheese in meals?
