We always need a Glueten Free option, not all of which are bad.


I like a plain cracker, a wheaty or very fibroous cracker, and a second plain cracker.

   Oooh, I like this thread.



    I love Nabisco Sociables... I like the spices, poppy seeds and sesame seeds.

     Townhouse, Club, Ritz, and Nabisco Saltines are alright, but Ritz seem to have gone downhill.

             I usually just buy Swiss, Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or Mozarella, nothing fancy (to keep costs down); but if expense wasn't an issue; I'd buy a wide variety of cheeses. Other than cottage cheese, I've never tried a cheese I didn't like.

My favourite cheese to have with crackers is,

Caboc is a Scottish cream cheese, made with double cream or cream-enriched milk. This rennet-free cheese is formed into a log shape and rolled in toasted pinhead oatmeal, to be served with oatcakes or dry toast. The texture is smooth, slightly thicker and grainier than clotted cream, while the colour is a pale primrose yellow. The fat content is typically 67-69%, which is comparable with rich continental cream cheeses such as mascarpone. Historically, it was a cheese for the wealthy, unlike the similarly-aged Crowdie, which is made from the by-products of skimming cream from milk and thus is considered a poor man's cheese.

Bitter, if I could send you some in the post I would! The stuff is delicious!

People that like really strong cheeses might think it's a bit tame but I've never been a fan of anything with blue mould growing through it.

I must have this Caboc.

Yeah, that sounds fantastic.

Insofar as crackers go, I prefer Triscuit.  I like the texture.  Can't really think of a favorite cheese to place and/or schmear on top of there.  I will meditate on this idea and re-post when I come to a decision.

At your service.... I was Internetting and this Brie-like Wisconsin cheese was mentioned as being made once a year and was supposed to be excellent.  A quick search on their site to find it was available at the Schaefers fancy liquor store down the block.  I will go on a mission to buy a cheese!  I've finally lost it!



The best part was that the cheese-Goth was arranging the cheese case when I got there and it happened the cheese-Goth was putting that very one out on display as they had just received it moments earlier! Score!

October 17, 2012 - The long wait is over - this week we released the season's first batches of Rush Creek Reserve. For weeks the creamery has smelled like sweet spruce, and the anticipation has been building towards our first tastings of the season's early batches. The cheeses taste fantastic and we can't wait to send them out. You can find Rush Creek at cheese counters around the country, and you can also order it from us here.

Delicious! Look at that crazy grey rind - spruce bark!

Oh yeah, for I Galpoppedus - when I went to check out it was $28.  Their award winning cheddar was excellent too.

Don't remember exactly what we came away with but one is a raw goats milk from the states, one from Neals Yard, oh yeah we got some Leonora from Spain.  Also some piccante salami from a local salumeria called Chop.

Does your cheese shop spin vinyl?  I didn't think so.
