Mmm, tasty thread!
My personal favs (in no particular order):
Camembert, Brie (there's this really really awesome ash coated one from King Island *drool*), Feta (especially marinated), Halloumi (fried), Bocconccini (on pizza), cottage, mature cheddars and just plain old tasty. I also don't mind mild blue vein cheeses.
I have a strong dislike for those plastic cheeses too. They taste terrible and they're useless for cooking, especially toasted because they just burn straight away.

Mmmm. The staples of swiss cheeses. They're hard, tasty but not to potent. A great starting point for people who want to break out of the world of american cheese. It does have that 'real cheese' taste, but it's not like Tomme which (often) smells like rotten gym socks.
I find it interesting that the aussies here seem to have a good appreciation for cheese. Wish you could find that in the states...

It's because our food has been influenced by the Asian/European immigrants and thus is usually fresh, seasonal and fairly healthy. We have really great restaurants and food down here and appreciate good food.
Doesn't hurt to have a climate that suits nearly every food group all year round either...
the little gouda cheeses that come in that red wax covering... mmmm i could eat like 15 of those

Yeah... exactly like that...
I don't really know about most of the cheeses you guys are talking about... my parents are mucho big bargain hunters... so it's whatevers on sale.
My favorite cheapie cheese is cheddar or parmesan though.
I don't like any blue cheese or any cheese that tastes and looks like mould.
Cheeses like Havarti is as weird as I go. Camembert is something I can take several bites from.
If you're talking about cheeses, then no.

Yeah as Chundles already said, we're pretty diverse food wise. It also helps that the majority of products are actually produced here and are readily available.OutThere said:
I forgot to mention another of my favs in my other post - Wild Wasabi flavoured cheese from Mersey Valley in Tassie. It's so good! There's also a sweet chili version which isn't bad.
Oozing Camembert, stinky Epoisses, sharp (yet creamy) Roquefort, ripe Blue d'Auvergne, mature Cashel Blue, flavoursome Montgomery cheddar, in season Stilton, gorgeous Coolea, Brie, Torte del Caesar, extra mature Gouda, matured Emmental, and any serious but creamy goat's cheese, the now extinct Irish Mine Gabhar offering an excellent example.
One of the most civilised parts of any good dinner is the cheese board, washed down with appropriate wines. Yes, a wonderful thread which hits the spot on one of my passions; yes, I'll admit it, I'm a cheese lover.
Cheers and good luck

Sharp cheddar
I love most any cheese
Everything is better with cheese
Woof, Woof - Dawg
Agreed. a good sharp white cheddar is great. I really need to get over cheese, especially since I think milk is so weird...
I can't believe that I forgot to include Gorgonzola in my earlier list as it is probably my all time favourite cheese. Also noted Manchego, parmesan and provolone mentioned, all of which I like as well. Actually, I find it hard to think of a cheese I dislike.
Cheers and good luck
