What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Talking Points: Bored With Cheese? Anyone who has perused a deli market understands how confusing the cheese categories have become. The choices appear endless. Cheese can be aged for months, hand-rubbed with robust Italian spices, shelf-cured for optimal quality, or made with passion from a local dairy. Who knew? I recently picked up a “cheese flight” of three Wisconsin varieties. I loved the description detailing the best pairing options for fruits, nuts, and beverages. Not only is it a great way to try mild or robust cheeses, it turns a charcuterie board into a win, win for the night.
BORED WITH CHEESE?
Ingredients:
3.5-ounce wedge Tuscan-rubbed fontina cheese
3-ounce wedge parmesan cheese
1.5-ounce edge bleu cheese
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced
1/2 cup walnut halves
Crackers and baguette slices
Instructions:
Arrange cheeses, apple slices, and walnut halves on a cutting board. Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, beer, and wine.

Yum! Coming from a dairy state, I love a good cheese, although it doesn’t always love me! Cheese platters are always where everyone gathers at the party. The only thing I’d add to this perfect selection, is a little pot of honey for those who want to drizzle. Native of course!

Never bored with cheese – I couldn’t live without it! I love recipes that introduce me to new cheeses so I don’t have to look through all the varieties at the store and try to decide…

Right? There is an Amish market near me that offers samples of each cheese. Talk about paradise. lol 👏🍃🧀

Samples are not allowed in my area right now. When they were I sure did a lot of sampling and came home with way too much cheese 🙂

Right. I think they had to halt it for the time being. 🙏🏻

Impossible to get bored of decent European artisan cheese! However I only found one place in the states that served good American cheese. Hopefully that is starting to change!

It’s a rind washed soft cheese a bit like Brie but a lot more stinky!
