No! No! It doesn't!! *Nothing* means that *anyone* can go on and on
about *cheese*!! Ever!!
It's only slightly better than saying anything about garlic, and so
much worse than picking scabs!
Cheese is the Enemy. Garlic is the Mother of All Evil. So there.

Nonononono. You're completely wrong. You have mixed cheese with Emacs.
Of course, Emacs goes with everything, so it's quite OK to mix it with
cheese...

Here's a little song I wrote myself (to the tune of Gold, Gold, Gold,

Cheddar, Brie, Edam, Gouda;
Camembert, Gloucester;

Cream, feta, goat's, swiss;

If you decide to use a trap I'm reliably informed that
cheese is not a good bait, but something sugary like
errrm, a sugar cube is.

Apple is also very good. Furthermore, using cheese in a mouse trap
is downright wasteful. How could you do it! I have been known to
eat a whole block of cheddar while setting a trap and then had to
find some alternative bait.

No...unfortunately. Everybody here seems to be on the Wrong Side of

It is, however, obvious that rejecting cheese is indeed a result of
evolution. Unfortunately, very few of us seem to have reached this
higher level...

I've actually started reading alt.cheese, but there isn't much happening
there. So I'm on a mission to turn all discussions on afp into cheese
threads ... it was all getting a bit too serious here anyway.
Emma the Crusader
afpiance and cheese lover to David Roy.
Remove TT to email me. Cheese messages welcome.
But what could be more serious than cheese?
And could I have a little more of that Neufchatel?
But a very large percentage of cheese in the UK is depressingly
tasteless. (Again, not in the cheese shops I frequent, but there's that
Cathedral City stuff - you might as well be eating candle-wax - and
England's the only place where they tried to sell me a goat's cheese by
telling me it "doesn't taste of anything".) Basic difference: it's easy to
get real cheese here - you have to look for it in the UK.
But flames make it much easier to toast the cheese!
:Apparently France has a yougurt called slag.
I couldn't swear that we don't - due to hating supermarkets and
consequently spending as little time in them as possible - but I would be
*really* surprised if we did. It just doesn't sound/look French, and it's
not obviously pronouncable in French.
Unlike Camembert.

Doesn't cheese float? You could hang on to it, while we
find a lifejacket or something. That'd keep it from
drifting away, as well.
Well, I have a lifejacket right here, but guess what...I'm not gonna
give it to you until you let go of that cheese...that's right, say
bye bye to the cheese...here you go! See? Saying no to cheese is not
hard at all, given the right encouragement...
And now...hey! What's this!! Take your hands off me you >splosh<
Okay...will you throw me the lifejacket if I fetch back that stupid
cheese of yours?
Well... what with your being so nasty to Chris, _and_ to
cheese, I think something more nasty is in order.
You've got the cheese, right. You're going to eat it. Not
all of it, leave some for us, just a piece.
That's right, Lehtola, this time it's: Eat cheese or sink.
There, that wasn't so bad, was it? Here's the life jacket.
Throws one rope to Chris and another to the cheese.

You'll have to leave the stinky cheese, Chris - both of you are too

Sorry Naomi, it was getting a bit too serious in here what with all the
feminist mobbing and political threads. So I've been on a crusade to fix
that... but I think that my work here is done, so I'll leave the cheese
to private email for a while... maybe!

I agree, you can never talk too much about cats. Or cheese. I can even
combine the two by saying my cat likes cheese - gotta be real cheese
though, not the "cheesy crisps" in Dine dry food. My cat, while being a
tart, glutton, and bed/armchair thief, does have some principles. His
name is Mansie BTW.

Nice little island off the West coast of Scotland. I have to say that
the best cheddar I've come across is from Mull rather than Arran, but that
Arran cheese (not cheddar - Arran) makes great cheese on toast.

Well, first of all you have to peel it off the ceiling after it has
bounced. Or you could leave it there as a conversation piece. Then I
suppose you coat it either with cheese or chocolate. Or both.

So welcome, Lily, you'll find us a pretty friendly group, even
friendlier if you love beer, Pratchett and chocolate. And hate
cheese. Nobody here likes cheese. In fact, the sooner you declare
that cheese is, indeed, the Enemy, the more friends you'll have
here. Trust me. Me, Dids and Rob Smiley do it all the time, and see
how many friends *we* have - friends who are always ready to jump
into any thread where we expose cheese for the vile muck it is. Say
a loud "No" to cheese, say that cheese...
...okay, okay, I'll get my coat.
But do grab a chair, do have a cookie, do feel welcomed, and...
...hey, I'm getting the coat, Emma, okay? I just wanted to welcome
the new afper, okay? Jeez...

A nice alternative to the chocolate mousse is raspberry cheesecake

Why do people keep making cheesecake out of bland things like
ricotta or cream cheese instead of *real* cheeses like blueveins or
Stilton?And why to they keep adding sticky stuff like fruit jams to them?
Anybody would think that cheese was a dessert fhood instead of the Only
Fhood.

OK, how about degenerating it into a thread about cheese flavoured - or
rather, cheese flavours - instead? My votes for best cheese meal is:
Starters - Double Gloucester on water crackers
Mains - the BBQed H-cheese seems popular, but having not tried it I must
vote for chicken hollandaise but with a cheese sauce instead of
hollandaise, or cheese fondue with crusty bread and grilled veges
Dessert - gotta be apricot and brandy cheese, double brie, grapes and
choc coated strawberries on a platter with water crackers.
> Drink *Tea*? Heretic!!!!!!!!!!

Au contraire. Tea is quite nice sometimes, for instance while partaking
of cheese and tomato sandwiches at lunch (tea should be very strong, no
milk, sugar - and not a fancy-pants brand) or indulging in apricot and
almond cheese at afternoon tea (you'll need a fancy-pants tea for this).
Oi! I'll 'ave you for that! Down the park, 4pm! Be there or be pelted
