Day 315/365: The Friday Five on a Sunday

[nanila]

1. What was the first type of cheese you ever ate?
   
   I don't remember, but I'm guessing it was something fairly flavourless but fun to eat. Like string cheese.
   
   
2. What was the type of cheese you ate most recently?
   
   Manchego. Wait, I tell a lie, I put some garlic & herb cream cheese on my sandwich at lunch. But I think of that as more of a spread than a proper cheese.
   
   
3. What is the most unusual cheese you ever ate?
   
   Hm, I don't know. I've tried a lot of different cheeses. I think one of the most unusual (and enjoyable) cheese flavours is soft ash-coated goat's milk cheese.
   
   One of the odder cheeses I've tried and liked is brunost or gjetost, which is a soft brown Norwegian whey cheese. It's extremely sweet for a cheese.
   
   
4. What is your favorite cheese?
   
   Well, it depends on which country I'm in, as I'll generally eat whatever the local specialities are. I do like a good Cornish Yarg at Christmas.
   
   
5. What is your favorite dish made with cheese?
   
   For comfort food, nothing beats mac and cheese. For pure decadence, baked camembert with garlic and a big pile of flatbreads or toast for gobbling up the lot. When I'm homesick, a cheese quesadilla.

I used to love
Manchego. It is my parents’ local cheese. I need to get more into making vegan cheese again!

I think of Manchego as Don Quixote's cheese. :D Do you use nuts to make your vegan cheese?

[meepettemu]

Sometimes. I also do a steamed rice one and a tofu one!

[chickenfeet]

Is it even legal to yarg at Christmas?

It does sound like something that should earn you at least a few Hail Marys and/or Our Fathers.
