Corky, no, you're probably slim and, because I absolutely love good cheese, I'm not. (Though these days I only buy cheese when I'm entertaining.  )

Spyderman,
What about a salad or a sandwich? Works for me. |
Cheese as a component or flavour in a dish is very different to eating cheese as a standalone course.
If I eat cheese on its own it has to be good

kooky, The restuarant served it two ways, with onion and vinegar and also smeared with butter, odd but strangely nice.
Pedantica, To be honest I'm not sure Applewood Cheddar counts as real cheese.

robapplegate, dunno, the only one I've eaten was in Somerset, made locally, and I verily believe it was a good cheddar, very, very lightly smoked. I thought it was nice. But every other smoked cheese I've tried looked and tasted like a cross between fudge and rubber.

It's only a matter of time before someone starts a thread seeking the resort with the worst WÜRST. I'd vote for France; never have found a decent French sausage.

Most cheese found in the US is acutally engineered from by-product from the petro-chemical industry and residue from spraytan booths.

Literally yesterday as I was putting my coat on to get in the car for the weekly shop, I said to Mrs Wifehole "shall we actually just stop buying sausages altogether?" and she said yes.
Sad face.
When I go back to the UK I am going to eat more sausages, upwards-of-1mm-thick bacon and decent non-bleach-containing bread than anyone ever before in history.

Well we have finally found a baker who makes a palatable loaf, but we've had to chew through an awful lot of gum-shreddingly overbaked peroxide-white chemical flavoured crap to get there.
Also supermarket bread. Can you buy what is recognizable as a 'loaf of bread' in France? No. It's like the USA. Harry's Flavourless Sandwich Baked Gunge is pretty much all that's on sale. With the crusts cut off.

French bread is one of the things I look forward to most!

I suspect it's adulterated less than the average supermarket "standard white" offering here. There are some very good local bakers round my place in France, including a superlative "artisanal" one using only sourdough - though I rarely make it down to the market where she sells it. I eat quite a lot of bread, but I make at least 90% of what I eat, both here and in France.
The standard French baguette has about the worst GI of any bread you can eat - that's why you can eat four yards of it without noticing. Though any bread made entirely with wheat (even wholemeal) has a poor GI.

I just don't understand why you'd want to! On the other hand, I've never been outside the UK for an extended period of time, so I don't really know what tricks that plays on your mind.

In fact I've heard a rumour that the Al-Hilli family were murdered by a local man who'd been told they had a boot full of Sainsbury's Taste The Difference multigrain.

Pedantica, Apologies, I assumed you meant that generic orange smothered one available from all good supermarkets.
Re: Bread, surely this thread is being hijacked, start a new one or I'll get confused what I'm meant to be talking rubbish about.
Artisan cheesemakers do exist in USA, try the organic supermarket in Asheville NC, pricey but very nice.

Mrs M likes cheesy chips. I love cheese and I quite like chips, but not together. Gravy should be condemned to the culinary dustbin where it belongs. That is about the only thing the French have right about cooking, a hatred of English "brown sauce".
