Recently I have been loving truffle cheese sooooo nice
Oh my god, how did I forget about harvati?! Whenever I make a charcuterie board, I always make sure there's harvati. It's just that good.I'm not a huge cheese person on its own, so havarti and gouda win for being cheeses I'd eat by themselves as well as in dishes (unlike cheddar... not my favourite by itself). Speaking of havarti, it's such a good cheese for all sorts of applications! Fantastic in grilled cheese without being too heavy, and tastes great with most things, like being melted onto potatoes... mmm. Mozzarella and parmesan are both nice too, mozzarella melts and tastes great and parmesan adds a nice flavour boost in small amounts. The only cheese I really actively dislike is cottage cheese because its texture and appearance both gross me out.
I just want to say that vegan substitutes are extremely valid, even if you're not vegan. I love hamburgers, for instance. But I've also always liked veggie burgers, but you can never speak of the latter without a long-winded explanation from some know-it-all about how they don't hold a candle to the real thing, even when it's irrelevant to the conversation. Presenting veggie burgers (or any vegan or allergy-conscious food) solely in terms of its aptness as a substitute has always bothered me, because they often have completely different profiles to me, and always presents an either/or scenario that doesn't need to exist.I’m prepared to get hate for this but I only eat vegan cheese
Ugh yeah it's so annoying. Vegan/plant-based substitutes are cool! Why do people always feel the need to rag on them and mention they're not like meat? They don't have to be. It's a substitute, not actual meat - why would anyone expect it to taste the exact same? I've personally never had vegan cheese (but it sounds interesting!), but I enjoy some veggie substitutes regardless of not being vegan/vegetarian.I just want to say that vegan substitutes are extremely valid, even if you're not vegan.

Just let me eat my cardboard-flavored vegetable mash on a bun, you fools!!!
There is, I suppose, a case for comparison when they are often marketed as such (no matter how disingenuously) and when they are presented as an alternative for people with allergies. Why, for example, would a person who suffers from nut allergies wish to eat a soy-based peanut butter substitute if it didn't taste at least reasonably similar to the thing it's attempting to emulate?Ugh yeah it's so annoying.
