I like it. It's a good go-to cheese to put on a sandwich as a rule. It's bland and goes with anything. GOUDA, on the other hand has some wangy background taste that just tastes sour but not in a good way. It tastes like old milk to me. UGH.
Doubt I have ever had any. But I have seen it for sale all my life so some people must like it. We go to a lot of farmer's markets where there are cheesemakers selling their products and a lot of them taste to me mostly like butter. I'm probably just not sensitive enough to the variations in taste cause I don't eat a lot of cheese.
You don't have to buy any, but when you are there next time, taste a piece. I'm sure you will see what I'm saying. Or not. We don't agree on everything, in case you have not noticed.
Everything tastes like butter to you? That is interesting. It seems that you are not fond of fats too much. Maybe that is why. That is not necessarily bad at all.
No don't think it is that. I like St. Andre and other soft cheeses sometime, other times harder cheeses like Ford Coastal Cheddar or smoked cheddar and my husband sometimes like blue. But I just noticed when they have special cheese days at those markets and there are ten cheese makers/vendors there a lot of what they offer seems to taste alike. So I seldom purchase cheese from them but rather get it at supermarkets or specialty stores. Which I don't purchase a lot but always enough to have some in the fridge if we should want some.
Thank you - I will try some Gouda when I have a chance and report back.
Buy a roll of refrigerator crescent rolls. Lay the dough out into a square. Remove the wax from a round of Gouda and place it in the center of the dough. Bring the sides of the dough up to encase the cheese. Squeeze the seams. Place on a tart pan or cookie sheet and bake at around 350 until the dough is quite browned. Attempt to cut like a pie/pizza. The cheese may run but it doesn't matter....this is really delish. Or just put a chunk into each crescent as you roll it. It is good cheese with fresh crescents.
