all of them have their use

word. u need to matchup cheese with ingredients.


pepperjack, cheddar, havarti are some of my favs

 

[entremet]

For a grilled chesse, you're absolutely right.

And cheeseburgers.

 

[Ambient80]

Swiss, Provolone, or Pepper-Jack. No particular order of favorite, although I do tend to use Swiss most often for whatever reason.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

I have a thing for Muenster cheese. If not that then American White Cheese from Land o' Lakes or Great Lakes.

 

[AkuMifune]

Cheddar for ham, provolone for roast beef, gouda on turkey. Pepper jack if you're feeling saucy.

American is a cheese only suitable for kids and hobos.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Havarti is my favourite - rich and buttery tasting.

 

[Fjordson]

Smoked gouda or swiss.

 

[Anoregon]

American is a cheese only suitable for kids and hobos.

I am currently enjoying an american cheese and ketchup sandwich! On white bread of course

This is the most sensible thing I've ever heard someone say about cheese.

 

[Rad-]

Blue cheese.

 

[Bitanator]

Muenster, Sharp Cheddar and Colby Jack are my favorite sandwich cheeses

 

[Aiustis]

Cheddar for ham, provolone for roast beef, gouda on turkey. Pepper jack if you're feeling saucy.

I concur. I refuse to eat any grilled cheese sandwich made with that abomination.

Oh, yeah yeah. Your refined taste buds are too good for something like that. We get it.

 

[backflip10019]

If you're melting cheese, Muenster. If not, cheddar all the way. American has its uses too.

 

[G-Bus]

Swiss or Havarti.

 

[joelseph]

American cheese was created because real cheese doesn't melt well. It has nothing to do with what tastes better. If you are melting cheese onto things you use synthetic blends, such as Kraft Singles. If you are eating cheese cold use whatever makes you feel most superior.

 

[Deleted member 8095]

It depends on what else is in the sandwich.

Again I'm impressed by the sensibility of this thread.

I'm sorry, but an extra mature cheddar melts very well especially on toast which I'll be having in a minute.

 

[InfiniteBento]

gouda, muenster, and colby jack are the best

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Swiss. I usually don't like eating sandwiches with red meat, so Swiss is great on turkey and chicken.

 

[The Auxiliary]

Pepperjack, simply.

 

[Nephtis]

Muenster is great if you're using different types of meats. You have to account the taste of other condiments in it too -- for example, dijon mustard goes well with thinly sliced smoked gouda cheese, regular american mustard goes well with muenster and honey mustard goes well with swiss -- this is assuming you're melting the cheese too and not just slapping it in there.

 

[aku:jiki]

Whiskey cheddar, aged 24 months.

 

[slit]

No, I'm actually a hobo.

 

[ohkay]

Really depends on the sandwich, but Swiss, provolone and pepper jack work with just about anything

 

[radioactivez0r]

Colby Jack has become my go-to for sandwiches, it works with everything except maybe pastrami. Swiss is a capable backup.

 

[Red Liquorice]

A proper strong mature cheddar. Strong flavoured, salty, crumbly, with those white streaks/veins on the outside. Goes perfect with ripe sweet tomatoes, English mustard or a tangy dark pickle.

If you're going to melt something grating it first will help a lot too.

I do like (well, not 'like,' maybe crave) a grilled cheese sandwich once in a while made with processed cheese, but it has a definite and unpleasant aftertaste.

Exactly although I fear that people who think they know what Cheddar cheese tastes like actually don't because just about any shit that is yellow calls itself "Cheddar" but is anything but.

I fear that people will only ever know standards like cheddar, brie, swiss, and the like but never know cheeses like idiazabal and mimolette. Especially with mimolette being banned in the US now. Few things have made me this sad.

 

[Grym]

I usually go with Colby, Provolone, or Cheddar on most sandwiches, but there are so many more that I use in specific situations...Mozzarella, Gouda, Swiss, Bleu, Pepper Jack.

Damn....time for lunch.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Forever provolone

 

[snacknuts]

Havarti or smoke gouda

 

[vikki]

Me and my wife have been trying different cheeses on sandwiches for a while. My wife seems to have settled on Muenster cheese for her sandwiches, she likes that meltability. I do enjoy provolone on the roast beef and cheddar on other sandwiches, but I've come to find that I enjoy American cheese on sandwiches the most. It melts well, but it doesn't have to be melted. Swiss is a good cheese and can be amazing paired with ham, but I prefer the American.

American is a cheese only suitable for kids and hobos.

I don't think you've ever met a hobo.

 

[5amshift]

American is my go-to for anything I want cheese on. I have friends saying Gouda is good, but never had it.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Marble cheese is great

 

[Tabasco]

I usually just go with Swiss I guess.

 

[Magnet_Man]

Cheddar and swiss.

The sharpness of cheddar balances out the creaminess of swiss and vice versa. They go perfect with each other yet I can't stand eating them on their own in sandwiches / burgers.

 

[ersocaster]

I had smoked cheddar the other day for the first time. I felt like I was in Heaven. Never had cheese that good. So that.

 

[Coriolanus]

Best? Gouda, mozzarella.
Most often used at home? Brazilian muçarela, which I now found out americans call...hm... pizza cheese? It's mozzarella made with cow'smilk
Bestest? muçarela + requeijão catupiry. Requeijão is like cream cheese, but actually edible.

Can also do some mad combos with blue cheese.

One thing i'll never understand is how Fynbo cheese got so popular down here. Boggles the mind.

 

[dvdjamm]

White Cheddar
Brie
Swiss
Monterey Jack
Manchego

I guess my favorite (for today) is a sharp cheddar on roast turkey with sliced tomatoes,black pepper on the tomatoes...blend mayo and mustard and spread on toasted dutch crunch.

 

[sikkinixx]

Aged cheddar (old, white, crumbly, English)
Havarti
Provolone
Asiago(if melted)

 

[Zantetsuken]

I love very sharp cheddar.

 

[Jasup]

What is Swiss cheese?

I prefer gouda or edam as an everyday cheese.

 

[Vyrance]

Muenster and Havarti are my go to sandwich and wrap cheeses. I love them on the creamy side.

Provolone is also great, but I usually only use that when the meat will be on the salty side like pastrami or a salami.

You are exactly like me. Love me some muenster and havarti

 

[Persona7]

Provolone or super sharp cheddar.

 

[modernlifeisANDY]

Pepper jack.
