Same here. I find that is you go for the stronger flavours you dont need as much of it. Low fat cheese is useless is you want cheese on toast.
 
I agree low fat cheese is tasteless and I think the texture is not the same.
 
I tried low fat once - yuk! 😱 Never touched it again! Go for the real thing, it makes an excellent snack as it won't affect your blood sugar levels 🙂 My particular favourites at the moment are Double Gloucester with chives and onions, and Brie 🙂 Babybel cheeses are good if you're worried about eating too much 🙂
 
A nice piece of extra mature cheddar on Ryvita or celery yummmm
 
Hello and welcome.
I too love my cheese and don't like half fat, low fat cheese. I now reduce my cheese intake but finding that very hard seeing how much i love cheese.
 
Brie's excellent as long as it's ripe enough, otherwise it's far too bland. Camembert and there's another Normandy one, that I can't recall the name of right now, the same.
 
I used to like any cheese except for low fat and mouldy ones!! But last month or so my taste buds have changed and things taste different, including cheese. I loved Brie and Mexican cheese but now it turns me! Mature cheddar tastes dry so I have tried creamier cheese. I have one in fridge in work and I cut a chunk and have for breakfast with a handful of nuts as bacon and eggs is turning on me too. I don't avoid fat, just carbs and I'm still losing weight and my stomach is flatter than it's been for about 30 years!

I have just remembered there have been a handful of people posting that they noticed a metallic type taste when starting Metformin.

Ah the days of the cheese boards, where the brie wasn't worth eating until it's walking...... When eating out I'd go for the cheese board rather than desert..... Nowadays it has to be refrigerated until the point of service😡
 
@Robin - I have in my head that it begins with an F ........

@martin - we call it 'whistling' Brie - ie it comes to us when we whistle it ! Much like one of Fergus' dogs.
 
No that's LivErot I think you'll find ........
 
............toddles off to fridge to get a slice of cheddar as this thread has made me hungry!

Now DD has told me off for eating cheese as she says diary is bad for me!! The joys of a vegan child!
