Cheese? More like refined plastic!

Within four posts this thread took a far more bizarre and disturbing turn than I would have imagined possible.

AH, nice to know you can still surprise me.

Goats cheese is the best. And brie, and camembert...mmm cheese

The best cheese I ever had was from the farmers market in Ballina where I bought honey goats cheese, balsamic pickled onions and sun dried tomato bread.
I couldn't inject it into me quickly enough.
p.s. sun dried tomatoes are the greatest food on earth.

+1 on cheese from the farmers markets. Got some goats cheese a while back and it was unbelievable.

Sliced cheese is sprayed with something to keep it fresh Ive heard.

Best not to buy sliced cheese?

Great stuff for getting dog hair off the sofa, though.

The pre-sliced stuff is rubbish. You should buy a block and cut your own slices. It costs about the same, but you get way more for your money and it tastes miles better.

If you buy cheapo frozen pizzas/ lasanage etc they are likely to contain a white "cheese-like" substance which is 100% cheese-free.
Saw it on Channel4s "Food unwrapped"- it looks like white cheese but has absolutely no taste at all to it, used to bulk out 'real' cheese on pizza.
That's not the most offputting one tho'- I'll never eat any 'pro-biotics' again after watching that programme.

Sun-dried tomatoes are lovely- but have you seen how many products contain "sun- ripened tomatoes'.
Sure what the **** else would they be ripening in?

Loads of good cheeses in supermarkets in Ireland.

If you're paying 4 euro for 10 slices of the pre-sliced crap then more fool you.

Lately I'm buying the better block type cheeses in Lidl. Their reeeely cheap stuff is pure plastic, but the extra mature Cheddar in the ziplock bags (purplish bag -can't remember the brand and not home to check) is top absolutely drawer.
Tesco is one place I've found it impossible to buy good cheese. Anything except Kilmeaden or Dubliner there is rubbish.

I just hate cheese :cool:

No one gives Edam.

One of my local butchers imports the nicest smoked cheese that I have ever tasted. It's quite expensive though, so Aldi's Bavarian equivalent is an acceptable cheap (if a little processed) alternative.

Not another 'bejaysus shure it was far better in my day' thread. You're just buying cheap cheese, OP.
