As a Wisconsinite, I grew up around cheese, especially because I lived in a county where there are 13 cheese factories. January 20 is National Cheese Lovers’ Day, and here are my five favorite cheeses.
1. Cheddar: My all-time favorite cheese. While my roommate can eat a whole brick of cheddar by itself, I prefer it with grilled cheese and tomato soup.
2. Muenster: The only cheese I could eat every day.
3. Gouda: Okay so I really don’t eat this cheese, but it reminds me of that She’s the Man quote: Viola: “Ask me if I like cheese.” Duke: “Okay. Do you like cheese?” Viola: “Why, yes I do. My favorite’s Gouda.”
4. Swiss: I love my Swiss cheese on a hot ham and cheese sandwich.
5. Provolone: I put provolone on almost all my cold sandwiches because it is delicious.
I hope all of you cheese lovers enjoy National Cheese Lovers’ Day whether you decide to put a slice on a sandwich, eat it plain, or just eat a whole brick of cheese!
