Best Cheese for Sandwiches?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

[sendero]

1. Best cheese..

.... for a cheese sandwich, or to complement a meat sandwich?

Cuz' those are 2 very different things :)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

2. Who the heck would eat a "just cheese" sandwich?

What are you, some kind of disruptor or something?! :shrug:

[sendero]

4. Absolutely..

.... but still, people DO eat cheese sandwiches. Ever heard of a grilled cheese? :)

[Floogeldy]

5. OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH

A simple cheese sandwich can be a beautiful thing. Especially with bacon!

;)

[sendero]

7. But but....

.... if it has bacon............ oh whatever ! :)

[Floogeldy]

3. Depends on the sandwich

I only ever go with cheddar, american, mozzarella, provolone, and sometimes gouda.

[MissMillie]

18. yep... sure does

American for grilled cheese.

Provolone for turkey.

Cheddar for Ham.

Swiss for a Reuben.

Mozzarella for a meatball sub.

[PittPoliSci]

6. I'm a provolone man.

Can't get enough of that or mozzerella.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. I just KNEW I was forgetting a major cheese group!

:grr:

[LynzM]

8. Other: Gouda

We used to get sliced Gouda in Germany, and we'd toast it just enough to melt it onto the salami a bit... YUM!

10. Swiss. n/t

11. Cheddar: the more mature, the better

With Branston Pickle. :9 (Don't know if that is easily available in the US).

12. Velveeta for grilled cheese

Yes, I know it isn't "real cheese". But it's what I was raised on for grilled cheese sandwiches. I also put sugar on top of the melted cheese... what can I say? I'm weird. :)

[progmom]

13. that's like sophie's choice - i can't choose just one cheese!

the cheeses i buy most often for sandwiches are provolone, fresh mozzarella, gouda, and sharp cheddar.

14. For a simple grilled cheese sandwich?

Then I'd have to pick a very sharp cheddar. But there are so many marvelous cheeses. Don't forget camembert and brie, and those marvelous blue veined cheeses. The wonderful Italian cheeses. Just bought some morbier, super yummy. Oh geez, I could go on and on, but I won't.

15. Provolone

[Scoots]

16. Pepper Jack

[Lilith Velkor]

17. Jack!

[Love Bug]

19. Kraft Deluxe American slices

You know, the ones that are a full once each, not the .75 ounce plastic-wrapped slices.

Oops, I forgot: gotta have tomato soup with it, too!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

29. Yea, for cheeseburgs I like the Kraft block of cut slices, not wrapped,

just like you.

[kwassa]

20. Toe

[Shell Beau]

21. All of them! I love cheese! Mmmm!

[Zuni]

22. swiss---with ham, turkey or pastrami

[johnnie]

25. All three are good meats

But I have to add corned beef with those.

[Zuni]

26. oh yeah

the best---a rueben with corned beef and pastrami with lots of melted swiss

:9

[johnnie]

23. The market I go to has this horseradish cheese

It is really good on a sandwich.

[chenGOD]

24. Not to pick nits, but...

is "American" cheese not just a mild cheddar?

[LincolnMcGrath]

27. Fomunda Cheese

:evilgrin:

[mac56]

28. Extra extra sharp cheddar.

30. Frankly, my dear, I don't give Edam...

...as long as it's real cheese (i.e. not "American" or any cheese substitute) and can be sliced (i.e. not a crumbly cheese like one of the blues or a soft cheese like Brie), it will do just fine. They're all Gouda.
