No good meal without cheese./ cheeses of the world.
Pas de bon repas sans fromage.
No good meal without cheese
English version below the pictures
Dernièrement notre fille Isabelle vivant dans le Kent en Angleterre est venu à la maison pour le repas et elle a apporté un peu de fromage anglais pour nous faire goûter. Donc, nous avons dégusté un d'échantillon de ce fromage, et nous avons comparé le fromage français que mon épouse Janine avait acheté pour la circonstance. Ci-dessous les photos où vous trouverez le nom des fromages.
Bien sûr, le fromage anglais est bon et même très bon. Le fromage français offre certainement un parfum plus fort. Mais étant Français, je n'ose pas dire le fromage français était le meilleur, et je ne dis pas cela. Et quelle qu’en soit l'origine, tous les types de fromage sont bons et nouds avons l’habitude de dire en France: "il n'y a pas de bon repas sans fromage"
...et comme @mlbncsga le dit ci-dessous dans son commentaire ,les meilleurs repas comportent fromages et vins . Voyez donc les verres: ils contiennent quelques gouttes de vin!
Plate on the left ( gauche ) : English cheese :Leicester ( orange ), Goat cheese , in the foreground we see the crust of Stilton ( blue), and pale yellow in triangle shape ,xCheddar
Plate on the right ( droite ) : French cheese : Maroille ( with red and green labe )coming from Picardy-North of France, Munster coming from Alsace , Conté from Savoie ( yellow slice ) and in the foreground : Epoisse from Burgundy.
Lately our daughter Isabelle living in Kent in England came home and for the meal she brought some English cheese for us to taste . So we tasted a wee bit of samples of this cheese and we compared to the French cheese that my wife Janine bought for this circumstance . Under the pictures above you will find the name of the bits of cheese .
Of course the English cheese is good and even very good . The French cheese offers certainly a stronger scent . But being French I dare not say the French cheese was the best so I do not say that . And whatever the origin, all kind of the cheese is good and we use to say in France :” there is not good meal without cheese “
.... and like @mlbncsga says below in her comment " a little cheese and a little wine make a most delicious meal " . Indeed see the glasses are filled with some drops of wine

My recent entry " no good meal without cheese" inspired to my readers some good memories of cheese coming from their area or their trips :
-Swiss(Suisse ) : Gruyère and Tête de moine ( Monk’ s head ) @Maiie Swiss cheese @josaju @Marica0701-
-Denmark (Danemark): Grinzola @Want2FitIn2Fat2Fit , Havarti @alterEGGO
-Germany (Allemagne): German butter cheese @Aloysius_son German cheese @slmret
-USA : Colby,Wisconsin, Amish area @alterEGGO @josaju @winniezpooVermont @epeemom cottage cheese @Sojourner_here Oregon blue cheese @knightingale Oregon : tillamook cheese @grannykaren
-Italy Italie (with Sardinia , avec Sardaigne ): Parmesan and in Sardinia there is a cheese with maggot cheese. @carlo , Provolone @alterEGGO
-Spain Espagne: hard cheese Manchego cheese @judyrutrider
-Netherland Pays-Bas: Edam @alterEGGO
Do not you think it would be interesting to extend this list to make a world tour of cheese? The regions above are Europe and North America but it can certainly increase the number of countries. I will complete the list with the informations that you can provide to me with your comments, if you want, of course . Thank you.
Ne pensez-vous pas qu'il serait intéressant de compléter cette liste pour faire un tour du monde des fromages ? Les pays ci-dessus sont en Europe et en Amérique du Nord mais on peut certainement accroître leur nombre . Je compléterai la liste avec les informations que vous voudrez bien me donner dans vos commentaires si vous le voulez bien . Merci

Frech Cheese is the best! I'm not french so I can say that
Mornin Glorie :wave: I say a little cheese and a little wine make a most delicious meal :yes: ilym :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat:
I'm not much learned into cheese, but I like Cheddar and Smoked Swiss.
Oh MIAM MIAM MIAM cependant on ne voit pas de Gruyère ni de Tête de Moine
Vivent les variétés internationales, mais il est clair que la France est le pays du bon fromage par excellence
Connaissons des éleveurs de fromages hors pairs à Ferrette près de la frontière suisse ...
Nous allons volontiers les visiter http://www.fromagerieantony.fr
Amitiés et encore merci pour les bons voeux via email! :heartbeat:
had cheese for lunch today ~ gotta love cheese!
I do think that cheese goes with almost any meal. I like all kinds except goat cheese - I have never been able to take a liking to that one. I almost always have cheese ready to serve at mealtime - yum!!
I haven't tried British cheeses, but I loved the ones I ate in France and Germany. I have fond memories of sharing a loaf of bread, a round of cheese, and a bottle of wine in the plaza at Toulouse. In Germany my dad and I stayed at bed-and-breakfast places, and enjoyed the German breakfasts of cheese, bread, egg, and coffee. At one place the cheese had a very strong flavor and smell. When I looked at a map, I discovered we were only a few kilometers from Limburg!
Oh yes, with Cheese anything taste better
I rec food.
cheese is good and probably depends on what you are wanting at the time. I like some french cheeses and some english cheeses but they all have their purpose and things they go with when eating. But then I have never been to England or France to taste them there. I am sure my mind will change when this happens.
This post just made #1 in Top Xanga Blogs at the moment ~
Cheese is so versatile, and it is a welcome addition to almost any plate. I used to work for a company whose main work was delivering to a chain of grocery stores cheese that had been air freighted in from all over the world. A cheese tasting looks like a recipe for an enjoyable evening. Hope you all had a good time.
The cheese looks very good. I do not like a lot of cheese but learning to enjoy it more. My meals are a bit plain as eating alone is no fun! Maybe some cheese would help
Love <3 Nancy
J'aime le fromage...beaucoup! Je prefere le manger (particulierement les fromages forts) avec une tranche de pomme verte. Trop delecieux.
I like the smooked cheese but i think most of the cheeses r delicious.
That is true, although, I have my husband on the mediterranean diet and he's not liking me well right now, but it's been proven that french and mediterranean diets are the most heart healthy. RYC: There are some very beautiful french rosaries, but a little out of my price range. I also like authenticity, such as this one was unique. =)
My wife does most of our grocery shopping, but when I go I find a cheese that we have never had and I buy it. There are so many cheeses, hard, soft, mild, sharp, strong... I enjoy the variety. My wife buys the same cheeses repeatedly. She is not as brave as I am when it comes to foods! One of my favorites is a German butter cheese, but I can not recall the name at this moment!
The cheeses on your table look delighful!
Smile and say Cheese!
A selection of cheeses is always a pleasure to behold.
I didn't know Munster was Alsatian.
I love cheese. Especially the French and Swiss, and German. Basically European! In the plate on the right, he Epoisse looks really yummy. I am sure it tastes very good too.
One of my favorite things on my 2007 trip to France was the assortment of cheeses.
I love cheese!!
My grandmother always said, "Apple pie without some cheese is like a kiss without a squeeze"
Mmmmmm...cheese. :sunny: I love trying cheeses, and I am becoming a cheese expert (not a paying hobby..or is it? *goes to Google*). My favorite is still the Danish cheeses,but especially Grinzola ! :goodjob:
Mmm..I agree, cheese is good for every meal. My dad used to enjoy Limburger cheese. Ewww..the smell was enough for me!
Cheese and wine...a wonderful combination.
I have had French cheese (roquefort) and Brie...Very good. I've never had English Cheese, I don't want to offend anyone but...the English aren't particularly noted for any of their cuisine. I know that when our English friends would visit, they much preferred American Cuisine.
When it comes to cheese, the states of Wisconsin and Vermont really excel and are my favorite. Wisconsin has a large German influence. Also cheese from Amish country, especially the Swiss cheese. EXCELLENT.
Unfortunately some people can't eat cheese(including our daughter) because it is hard if you have any sort of digestive problems...
When I read this from my email, I didn't have the opportunity to give you a mini..
Here goes.
This reminded me of the cheese my parents made while living on the farm. We would let milk clabber and when strained was a cheese that must be eaten with a fork or spoon. It is called cottage cheese and is still sold here in our grocerie stores. My dad added sugar and that made me shudder!! I liked it as an accompaniment to the main course. Do you know about cottage cheese?
Stilton I've seen outside very different. My favorite.
That one looks like a cheese cake. LOL...
:sunny: Adventure on a plate! I like cheese, some I like better than others. Camembert with cranberry I think is my favorite at the moment. mmmmmmmmm :love:
Yummy Cheese makes the meal!! :heartbeat: We do eat cheese often here...
Mornin Glorie - I feel so famous now
ilym
you are so right about the cheese. i have three or four kinds of cheese and chopped onions in the regrigerator all the time and put them on everything.
I love cheese. I could easily make a meal out of cheese, fruit and bread. Yum yum.
My son-in-law introduced me to Muenster, otherwise I would still be living in my pepper jack world. :laugh:
We use cheese in some form at almost every meal. Nothing as classy as what you are showing here.
I love the farm house cheeses in our piece of Vermont. Some very tasty local cheeses from cows, sheep and goats. No matter where one goes, one can always find a palatable cheese!
Blessings abound
now I know what to have for dinner tonight...cheese and a glass of wine.
French cheese is Heaven, especially when paired with a nice wine! Those pictures are amazing. I want to come to dinner! <3
Cheese tasting with a bit of wine looks like a lovely snack.
No good meal without cheese indeed! I had a German uncle who selected cheeses for their dinners -- always unique varieties that I never had elsewhere. Yours look very delicious!
I've never seen so much cheese at a table! How delightful to be able to taste them all!
I know I do not like blue cheese, but not sure about most of the others. Bet I'd like them!
Yes cheese and wine are very good. Not sure if I've had either English or French cheese, but always willing to try something new. Probably when in France in 1969, I'm sure we were served cheese with our breakfast.
Nice that your daughter could add a new taste to the meal.
love, Marilyn
Wow, that's a whole lot of cheese!
:sunny:It's raining here in Oregon. Your beautiful plates of cheese are wonderful. I learned my love of cheese from my father. Munster is so good I agree. Today I had Oregon blue cheese with an Oregon pear and walnuts. That was a glorious lunch! Wine is wonderful too! I prefer a very light white wine such as a Moscato or White Zinfandel. I love all countries but I must say since I lived almost all my life in Southern California I'm partial to California wines. When in Rome do as the Romans therefore therefore enjoy each countries offerings. :heartbeat:
My thoughts through my looking-glass~
Karolyn
I always enjoy your posts on so many wonderful topics. :yes:
I have to recognize La France has the most incredible variety of cheeses, but we do have Parmesan and in Sardinia there is a cheese with maggots.

Many cheeses could not be on sale in the Us (cheeses made from raw milk). The EU tried to pass a law to do the same in Europe, but they didn't succeed.... thank God.

You would be shocked I imagine to learn I am not educated in cheese. I love macaroni and cheese dish but that is not like eating cheese as others.
what's your favorite cheese? what about janine's? i'm curious how you would compare english cheese to french cheeses....
also if you have cheese every meal, how do you not get fat? i would! i can only have cheese sometimes. i love it :love::goodjob:though. would love to have it in france! :sunny:
Answer to TutelageOfTheMundane ; Thanks for the tip . I didn' t know eating strong cheese with a slice of apple was a delight . To try.
Answer to @ZSA MD : Personally I made the discovery of the Epoisse only a few years ago . This cheese coming from Burgundy is a pure delight. You cannot resist !
I'm surprised that nobody commented on Spanish cheese. Babs and I so enjoyed the hard cheese they served with that wonderful Spanish acorn-fed jamon. Surprisingly, we can buy Manchego cheese here at Costco, of all places. We haven't been so lucky in our hunt for Spanish ham.
TY so very much for your kind words on my fall photos of the maple trees turning golden.
I shall take your advice and not worry too much! :wha: If I can!
Thank you for good advice. :wave:
:sunny: Mornin Glorie :sunny: Your english is just fine :yes: I understood everthing the first time :goodjob: I'm always thrilled to get a comment from you and an extra one makes my day a little brighter :fun: ilym :heartbeat: :heartbeat: :heartbeat:

J'aime toutes les sortes de fromages! Ici au Canada, les épiceries ont fromages de partout dans le monde. Je ne pense pas que j'ai mangé un que je n'ai pas aimé. Sauf le fromage bleu. Je n'aime pas froamge bleu. Mais j'aime beaucoup le vin!
I just went to the Amish community at Muddy Pond Tennessee and bought Farmers cheese for the first time. I don't know how it's made but it is good. I like cheese and saltine crackers. :goodjob:
Swiss cheese, provalone and colby, jack, and sharp cheddar are a few I use often. Less often are stilton, edam, guyre, havarti.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my photos of the mushrooms Michel and please feel free to name them:)
Ty so very much for your comment on my photos of ghosts at Walmart post Michel.
Vermont is actually known for it's cheddar cheese...Amish is in PA, IN and OH and mainly a swiss cheese. The Amish come from a German and Swiss background...
Wisconsin...Oregon, Vermont...all have great cheeses. When we lived in Cleveland, we shopped at the West Side Market and our "dairy" man got most of his dairy from Wisconsin. He had a degree in agriculture and did get the best.
Guess I'll have to write a blog about our own personal experiences with cheese.
Now we get our cheese from a local store which , in turn, purchases from the Amish in OH..(or PA ??)

My mother would not go for a week without having cheese. She did not mind that it was "fattening," only that life without cheese was not happy or easy! She enjoyed many French cheeses as she was a gourmet cook. She also did much to favor those from American (Wisconsin) and those from Switzerland! Bon apetit! :heartbeat: :yes:
yes just a little cheese with bread. isla loves baguette! lol but she's not so into cheese lately... you didn't tell me what your favorite kind of cheese is!
I love cheese too-but have never tried all the different ones like you. Thank you so much for stopping by. I havent got to post much but I have read all your posts. Always so interesting ! And your right-as long as I get to post--thats the main thing !! Hope to get my regular pc back by this week !
you idea of a bit of cheese and a drop of wine is amazing. it looked like a feast to me and so much wine. i would be dizzy drinking that much wine. you didn't mention TIllamok cheese from oregon. cottage cheese isn't really considered cheese here it is more like a side dish like a vegeable or fruit. my favorite cheeses are from greece and italy and of course oregon. i have never had butter cheese is that like a spreadable cheese i don't care for spreadalb cheeses prefer slices or shreeded with fruit. when i went to australia i had some lovely cheese and fruit but alas i don't remember the name of the cheese only that is was yellow.
I would love to have a cheese party, where every one brings a cheese from a different country or region, a long with wine and bread, it would make for a fine flavorful evening!
Answer to Aloysius son above : A cheese party ! this is a good idea ! I see it in your cottage in the woods in summer.
very yummy
I don't know a lot about cheese but it's one of my favorite foods.
a cheese party, what a wonderful idea :yes: I look forward to seeing this list! :heartbeat: ilym
Hope you've had a nice day on your pilgrimage to Boulogne- Marquise :sunny:
Oh my ... I totally love the picture of the laughing cow. Made my whole day! : )

Ah, Michel, le vidéo montre comment j’ai un accent “du nord de l’Angleterre”. Ta fille Isabelle confirmerait cela, n’est-ce pas, car elle doit entendre les accents anglais du Kent tous les jours. (comme en France, les gens du sud parlent de façon très différente que les gens du nord de l’Angleterre). J’imagine qu’elle doit parler l’anglais couramment, car ses enfants sont moitié anglais? Et vont à l’école dans le Kent?
Oui, ma mère se porte bien, mais fatigue facilement et incapable d’organiser des choses ni de faire un repas pour toute la famille. Son monde est petit et elle se débrouille le-dedans, pour le moment…..
Vous voyez mon seul cousin, neveu de ma mère. Le monsieur blond qui parle avec ma sœur. Les « jeunes » sont la fille (cheveux rouges) et le fils (roux foncé) de mon frère. Je les aime beaucoup. La femme de mon frère avec qui je m’entends très bien, et la copine de mon cousin, après 15 ans de « sortir ensemble » tout va bien ! Comme elle m’a dit, ils ne se dépêchent pas !
J’ai pensé à toi et Janine ce samedi car je savais que vous iriez faire votre tour de famille passé. Beaucoup de kilomètres et de bon souvenirs, j’espère. Il faisait ici beau samedi. Tous les couleurs de l’automne étaient sorties. La Drôme était dans un état magnifique. Puis dimanche matin, 6 cm de neige ! Les feuilles n’sont même pas encore tombé des arbres. Bizarre. Au moins nous n’avons pas le temps de New York !
Je ne suis pas étonné qu’à Toronto ils n’ont pas parlé en français. Le Canada me semble être un pays coupé en deux ou trois. Ceux qui parlent le français (au Montréal), ceux qui parlent l’anglais (le reste du Canada) et ceux dont les ancêtres étaient indigène (dans les coins du Canada perdus – il y en a très, très peu). Le Canada est très beau et les Canadiens ont un beau style de vie, mais j’étais frappée par l’horreur ce que ceux qui ont envahi leur espace on du infliger aux habitants indigènes.
Merci et Amitié à toi et a Janine

Ty so very much for your comment on my downtown decorations Michel.
TY so very much fo ryour comment on my post of the photos of fall colors
Fortunately cheese competition is friendly in some cases. To bad all the cheeses have to be pasturized before exporting.
Fema might decide to stockpile cheese for emergency food (wine unfortunately cannot be used as emergency food). If the world becomes real friendly we would not need to rely upon a national emergency program. I know France has done a lot of charity work for disasters.
thanks for answering michel. yes i remember i just adored munster cheese when we were living in nashville when i was a kid. loved it! apples and cheese, my favorite. :yes: wine and cheese is delish too! :yes: :goodjob: ok i need to update and do a blog too while isla's at nursery! :fun: :wave:
Quelle bonne idée de poursuivre le partage du fromage sur ton xanga Michel :goodjob:
Il y a des fromages australiens et new-zélandais ...
on doit aussi en trouver en Amérique du Sud ...
mais je n'en connais pas en Egypte, Chine, Japon, Inde, Russie, etc.
Il y a en Suède le délicieux Västerbotten que l'on mange en tranches finement raclées

Amitiés et rendez-vous un jour à Ferrette! :heartbeat:
RYC: oh, my, that is quit a different meaning for coupon! I was referring here to a manufacturer's cent's off coupon, a printed paper (or, often these days, electronically downloadable) that allows you to take money off a given product. Then some stores will double these amounts during certain weeks, or allow you to combine their own coupons for extra savings. It can be quite profitable if you are diligent. At the height of my couponing phase, I sometimes saved more than I had spent. I wasn't working outside the home then, so I treated it like a job. My grocery budget was pretty slim, but by shopping sales, using coupons, and carefully planning menus, we got by.
Daughter was thrilled to buy three boxes of cereal for 50 cents each after her coupons!
I hope you are feeling much better now; a cold this time of year can be hard to shake off!
Thank you for sharing information on various cheeses. I like cheese, especially as a part of pizza or grated as parmesan, and in sliced form to add to a sandwich. However, because I am lactose intolorant (dairy products contain lactose), I have to watch how much of it I eat. If I eat too much, I will experience gastic and intestinal pain and the dreaded gas which is released either noisily or silently, causing embarrassment from the noise and the odor. :giggle: Thanks also for another visit. ~~Blessings & Cheers
I love most cheeses. Another favourite of mine would be brie cheese! Yum!!!
Ahhh I love cheese in my pasta, in my salad, with my bread and with a good glass of red wine. Parmesan, Cheddar, Brie, Camembert, Stilton are my favorites and Blue Cheese is a no no for me, i just cant take that taste
