If I were a cheese, I would be a Gorgonzola. It’s not a popular cheese and can be quite salty with a bite from my blue veining. However, there are devout followers who love to crumble it on a boring salad to make it interesting.

okay okay, what cheese would i be

havarti , sweet, creamy and a little nutty

I don’t know you but I feel like it’s a perfect summation

have you ever had a havarti melt in a big fresh butter croissant 🀀

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It made for a good pizza at bimbos.

[–] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

OMG, Bimbos, there’s a blast.

I don't know about cheese at all, and only eat tasty cheddar, Colby, or parmesan (and don't even think I've ever tried anything else), so I asked GPT:

You are Gorgonzola. Complex, bold, and quietly powerfulβ€”because even the subtlest blue leaves a lasting impression.

I tend to gravitate toward the familiar as well.

Spreadable Goats cheese in the tub from Aldi. Cheap and spread thinly.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd be that cheddar you get in the box off the non refrigerated shelf. Odd, tasty and melts a lot better than you'd expect.

You have a long shelf life?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'd be a vintage cheddar. An acquired taste.

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One of those crumbly Mersey Valley types?

[–] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Also love vintage cheddar…

Man, all this cheese talk got me hungry…

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don’t sell yourself short. There’s always room for you on the platter haha

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I'll be near the crackers

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Feta. Salty and crumbles easily.

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Another fantastic salad addition, we would be lost without Feta.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe it's a bit intense but you know life's better with feta.

[–] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Triple Brie with Truffle: Overpriced bougie BS, probably synthetic, but heat/spread yadda yadda.

(I also typed less resistance, but either way, cheese = smut. πŸ˜‚)

[–] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I'd be a Red Leicester. Basic cheddar style with a bit of sauce mixed in.

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Basic, but willing to be a bit saucy?!

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing against you!

Gongonzola cheese has the tang of a fungal illness to my tongue. πŸ’€

Thass wuss up.πŸ˜‚

[–] underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ricotta. Soft, kinda sweet, makes things creamy, can be easy to forget about in the back of the fridge.

I love ricotta. I use it in my lasagna instead of bechamel

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, I'm allergic to penicillin.

(Yes, I know many say the cheese doesn't count, I prefer not to risk it)

[–] useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

We aren’t listing our various ailments. You have to tell us what kind of cheese you would be.πŸ₯Έ

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ahhh!

I'd be the grated tasty cheese in the pack, in the chilled shelves; ready for any homemade pizza and pasta πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ³πŸ˜™πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ

Ready for anything. Any day. A generalist. Dependable.

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Eaten quickly by the handful while no one else is in the kitchen.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll be raclette; hot and good with pickled meat.

[–] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Jeebus, I’m dying with all this cheese…

🀀🀀🀀

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I’m extra tasty cheddar.

Aged, cheap, and rather sharp.
