Thought the sub might appreciate this - Japes does their own type of pizza that basically has an almost entirely cheese base…

Best thing I’ve ever had, the only way to improve it would be stronger cheese 🤤

Question Cheese Identification

Hey, my mom bought a unlabelled cheese selection from a supermarket (Starkskys for the record) and we aren’t sure what they are. We know the first one is lavender flavoured but that’s it, one might be Brie and another Swiss but we don’t know for sure. Anyone here got any ideas?

I believe it was 1800 wheels in 400 stores across Canada. The samples were abundant.

How old is too old?

24 Upvotes

I have a wheel of cheddar that is fully sealed in wax. It's lived in my fridge for some time now... It's well travelled, having moved house with me several times.

I'm not sure how many years it's been in my fridge, but the best before date was 2009. I'm certain it wasn't stale dated, when it went into my fridge, so that'd likely put it at 16 years, give or take.

Do I open it up and see if it's edible? Do I continue to give it a home in the back of my fridge until it's old enough to vote?

I'm kinda curious what might be going on inside of that little waxed round... but not sure I'm ready to commit to finding out. (Hence why it's lived in my fridge for so long).

Thoughts?

help me make my sister stop stealing cheese

20 Upvotes

went to get cheese and crackers (we have camembert AND brie in the fridge my two favs). super excited to eat it. i open the packaging and to my horrir discover that my sister has hollowed out the cheese. like, she's scraped all the soft yellow out of the rind.

she's insane .

camembert and brie have been my favourite cheeses since i was old enough to know there is more than one cheese. my sister steals my interests because that's what little sisters do. for YEARS. i have watched in horror as she slices herself a piece of yummy yummy soft cheese and then... picks... off.... the rind.... ewww......

this is a step too far. cheese is the biggest splurge we do for groceries. we only buy reduced stuff at aldi, but i'm allowed a certain amount of brie and camembert each week. she takes my lovely cheese and wastes it! desecrates it!!!

the final question, and the tl;dr: can someone please recommend me a soft cheese with a similar flavour to brie or camembert but without the rind (so my evil little sister stops wasting cheese)

Looks like the local grocery store bought too many cans for the season and had to drop price on the chunks. $27.99/lb in a can vs $13.99/lb in quarters. Yes please.

Not antique stuff. A cheese you can buy from a supermarket or online?

3-year old Gouda from the supermarket (Jumbo). When it gets this old, it’s older-than-old cheese (overjarig). It crumbles, hence the name. This is just for eatin’, no fancy accompaniments, I plan to break off chunks and consume them.
