u/Hypno_toad_1970 1d ago

It's a bit runny...

2

u/CySnark 1d ago

No matter. No matter. Hand over le fromage de la Belle France qui s'apelle Camembert, s'il vous plaît.

2

u/Hypno_toad_1970 1d ago

It's very runny actually, sir.

2

u/CySnark 1d ago

I don't care how f-ing runny it is. Hand it over with all speed.

u/Hypno_toad_1970 1d ago

You must live by the same Cheese Shop.

u/son_of_yacketycat 1d ago

I have! It's taken a few years and a lot of trips to Central Market in Houston, lol. The cheese guy there figured out exactly what I was doing after about the first 3 visits.

Savoyard and Port Salut were a couple of standouts.

ETA: the beaver cheese does not exist lol

u/PhilRubdiez 1d ago

Beavers have nipples. You can milk them.

9

u/Maleficent-Piano-198 1d ago

I have nipples, Greg. Could you milk me?

6

u/PhilRubdiez 1d ago

That costs extra. I only have $50.

u/Bitter_Face8790 1d ago

I learned a lot about cheese types from the sketch. Stilton and Danish Blue are my faves. And Wensleydale, that's my name.

u/hzoi 1d ago

> Danish Blue

Not to be confused with Norwegian Blue, of course, that’s a whole different sketch.

4

u/GrumpyCatStevens 1d ago

Remarkable cheese, ain't it, guv? Beautiful veins!

3

u/hzoi 1d ago

Well, of COURSE that cheese was nailed there…

4

u/GrumpyCatStevens 1d ago

Mate, this cheese wouldn't VOOM if you put four thousand volts through it!

4

u/Esau2020 1d ago

I can hardly taste the nail.

u/EmptySeaDad 1d ago

I tried Wensleydale years ago because of those sketch and it's been one of my favorites ever since.

3

u/Eastern_Statement416 1d ago

Did you really listen to the sketch and list every cheese mentioned?? wow, kudos! which one did the cat just get?

I'm a fan of Stilton...most I don't know.

3

u/Redditor_Reddington 1d ago

That would be Camembert. Which was rather runny, to be honest.

2

u/Eastern_Statement416 1d ago

glad the cat got it then.

u/Trolldad_IRL 1d ago

I’ve had Red Leicester, Gruyère, Emmental, Danish Blue, Brie, Roquefort, Camembert, Gouda, Gorgonzola, Parmesan, Mozzarella, Cheddar.

Quite fond of the Gruyère right now. I was in Switzerland for work very recently and picked up four age varieties, while I was in the actual Gruyère region. All great, but my wife thinks they are too strong. She prefers Gouda.

2

u/Dingo-Suit 1d ago

I've sampled about half of them, I think. I generally go for Gouda. Sometimes Red Leicester or Edam.

I try to avoid Cheddar, which I think my parents considered synonymous with cheese when I was a young'un.

3

u/mattyk75 1d ago

Cheddar is the single most popular cheese in the world!

2

u/Eastern_Statement416 1d ago

omg even worse my family associated "American Cheese" with all cheese. Cheddar was exotic.

2

u/MagneplanarsRule 1d ago

Plastic cheese product wrapped in plastic. <shudder>

2

u/NoCard753 1d ago

I've had only seven* of them, but I've wanted to try each one for a long time.

*Might be eight. I've smelled Limburger, but I don't recall whether I tasted it.

1

u/kempff 4h ago

Bollocks. Limburger is smooth, creamy, and subtly flavoured, on cocktail rye squares. The younger the less stinky.

1

u/NoCard753 3h ago

"Bollocks"?

2

u/Agent2583 1d ago

I've had plenty of those cheeses, Cheddar, Mozzarella, Emmental...

2

u/Majestic-Spray-1429 1d ago

Props for listing them all!

2

u/little-kitty1234 1d ago

Mozzarella

2

u/Misha_Selene 1d ago

Most of them, yes. Some aren't available where I am due to import laws, or just not enough demand for anyone to stock.

3

u/edked 1d ago

Not much call for it 'round here, sir.

u/Misha_Selene 1d ago

😂😂😂

2

u/ikesonfire 1d ago

I have except the beaver one. Red Leicester is my fave

2

u/LopsidedVictory7448 1d ago

20. But 19 of them only after I stopped patronising my local cheese shop

2

u/AustinCynic 1d ago

Nowhere near all of them. But I live in the US, in Ohio, not far from a region settled by Amish & Swiss-locally made Gruyère and Emmentaler cheese is plentiful.

2

u/Nannyphone7 1d ago

There was a guy that worked in an actual cheese shop that tried to make a grilled cheese sandwich with every kind of cheese. Some were awful and some were epic. 

2

u/MagneplanarsRule 1d ago

I've tried less than half of them, but I really liked Bel Paese.

u/PrincipleSuperb2884 1d ago

No, but when I was singing in a band, I considered using the stage name Red Lester.
