Ice Breaker – Cheese

This has to be one of the craziest ice breaker questions that I have ever asked here.  The question is inspired by my son, Isaac.  He often jokes around about how he introduces himself to others.  He says, “Hi, I’m Isaac, and I like cheese.”  I occasionally ask my family for ice breaker question ideas.  So this question came directly from Isaac.  Here goes:

Question:  What is your favorite kind of cheese?  (I told you this was goofy!)

My Answer:  I’ve been to several places where cheese is a major food group.  A couple of years ago, our family vacationed in northern Vermont.  During our vacation, we visited the Cabot cheese factory.  I had no idea that there were that many cheeses.  I’ve also had the privilege of visiting France where there are so many different kinds of cheese.  I like different kinds of cheese depending on what else I’m eating.  For example, there is nothing like provolone cheese on an Italian hoagie or a corn beef sandwich.  I like Colby jack cheese with Lebanon bologna.  And I like cheddar cheese on my tacos.  One of my favorite kinds of cheese to eat by itself is cooper sharp.

How’s that for a cheesy post?  Now, it’s your turn.  Answer this week’s ice breaker by leaving your answer in the comments.  I look forward to reading your cheesy answer.

(If you have an idea for an ice breaker question for our weekly post, let me know your idea.  If your question is chosen, I’ll answer the question, and I’ll give you the credit for the question.)

    Well, like you, it depends on what I am eating. What I do not like are the American singles cheese. Bleck!!  I guess if I had to narrow it down, Colby Jack would be my favorite.

    I like sharp cheddar better than any other.

    It may seem weird, but I really enjoy the flavor of bleu cheese. Goes great on meats.

    I like the Bleu, stilton, havarti, and extra sharp cheddar 7+ years, and cabot is great at it.

    I’m stumped…don’t think I have a favorite. Guess it depends on what I am eating it with.
    Cheese and crackers?
    Cheese and fruit?
    Cheese on a sandwich?

    I’m going to have to go with Cambozola (essentially half Camambert half Gorgonzola.)

    Pepper Jack.  The hotter the better.  With crackers, it has to be sharp aged cheddar.

    Easy cheese with Trisquits… no brainer.

    Well, as a resident of the Dairy State, I can say folks in Wisconsin appreciate those who love cheese and talk about it. Fried cheese curds, hands down, are my wife’s favorite. I enjoy a little crumbled bleu cheese or feta on my salads. Got to have sharp to extra sharp cheddar on my cheeseburger. My favorite cheese (like my favorite cookie) is the one I have in my hand (figuratively speaking, but now I’ve got to get up and see if we have any in our fridge).

    You’ve made me hungry. Just bought some Wensleydale and some Chipotle Gouda to snack on tonight.
