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.

We love the cheese, always have    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

I love cheese,there's all sorts I've never tried yet.I rarely go a day without eating it

Snack time!  You are all completely evil for triggering my cheese fiend mode.

Taleggio, Red Dragon, Sonoma Jack and Fontina- get in mah belly.

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    But usually I just pick some up at the store

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

Another fun fact is that there is a band called Turophile

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

*barf*

You can blame James L Kraft for that.

Cheese is meh on its own. But I had a most marvellous grilled ham and cheese with mozzarella for lunch yesterday.

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.

How's about dark chocolate, cheese and bacon croissants? Yes, now we're gettin' kinky
