I had to laugh at this...My father LOVED Liederkranz and you KNEW when he'd opened it, too. We kids would run around making jokes about who 'cut the cheese.' Stinky for sure, but it was really good if you could get past the smelll,
I like Liederkranz and Limburger. Limburger doesn't have to smell like out-of-control foot fungus before you eat it. It's a soft ripened cheese and can be eaten when it's on the young side.
If I only had one cheese for the rest of my life, probably a good bleu (so many good varieties) paired with a red wine. Wensleydale is a good cheddar, although I am not a fan of their cheeses with fruit in them. They do a decent bleu.
My husband likes Wensleydale, but always bemoans how often they stick cranberries, blueberries, dried apricot bits, currants, etc. in it.
I don't consider supermarket prepacked/sliced cheese fancy.
I like Gruyere, Banon, Roquefort, Brillat-Savarin...
Depends on the supermarket. A high end grocery store in an affluent zip code can have a broad selection of cheese. You don’t have to go to a cheese specialty store for cut to order in those places.
It’s winter. I like raclette melted and served with pickled vegetables and sliced baguette.
My mass market favorites are Jarlsberg, Chèvre, and Roquefort.
In France, I love the chariot du frommages at a good restaurant. We get the pasteurized versions of the cheese which don’t have much flavor. A real Morbier made with raw milk is great. Reblouchon when I’m in the French Alps.

Completely agreed. The Wensleydale habit of putting fruit in cheese is just weird.
I have been to the Wensleydale cheese factory a few times. They have a couple of dozen cheese varieties available at any given time, about half with the fruit. Those are pretty easy to pass up and I focus on the straight cheddar and their blue.
