Oh my god! Yesterday and today I've eaten so much goddamn cheese! I've been on estrogen for about a month, minus a week's break. I didn't eat cheese at all for a few years, and now suddenly, I decided cheese was cheap and rich in protein.

Am I fitting myself into a stereotype, even if it's subconsciously, or is there really something to this?

Cheese is amazeballs.  I used to like it, now I love it.   I think my taste buds work better now and cheeses are just kaleidoscopic, naval-gazing umami bombs.  I also really like melted cheeses.

Oh, and you must try blue cheese and walnuts in a salad together.  Yummers.  I call it the Charlie Sheen salad because blue cheese and walnuts go together like coke and hookers. (Or so I've been told...)

I want everything Cheesealicious now! Shredded, melted, sliced you name it! Oh, and a really weird craving for Chocolate Peanut Butter also. I am like Jill, taste buds and sense of smell are really kicking now. ;D

We love the cheese, always have  8)  I mostly use a few basic types but like to try something unique from time to time and the grocery store almost always have some on sale and tasty samples to snack  :)  I've rarely met a cheese I did not like

Notice I did say rarely... LOL, when I say basic types of cheese I mean shredded Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Provolone, Gouda, Muenster etc. And let's not forget about the cream cheese to make cheesecake  :)

I think it would be fun to learn how to make my own cheeses, I already know how to make my own Ricotta  8)  But usually I just pick some up at the store ;)

Interesting fact: a lover of cheese is known as a Turophile.

Yes, I'm not into products that are best described as "pasteurized, processed cheese food".

Totally going to agree. My sense of taste has gone completely nuts since starting HRT. I feel like I'm noticing a lot of the little subtleties in foods that I wasn't before.

I'm thoroughly convinced that smoked gouda is the nectar of the gods, and I also just about had a foodgasm when trying raw cheese curds for the first time. Trying some Ohio Amish farmers' cheese was also a true taste delight!

Dark chocolate has also exploded exponentially in terms of just how amazing it tastes, but I definitely know that we've already had topics about that before.

GAHHHH!!! *drools*

I've never smoked gouda before- do you use a pipe or rolling papers?

Tried smoked Gouda on black bread or pumpernickel, with Black Forest ham, and a little spicy brown mustard.  Oh! and have a German rauchbier while you are at it.
