AIBU to not understand the appeal of a cheeseboard?

[ClaraThePigeon]

I like some cheeses, cheddar, feta, mozzarella, halloumi and emmental for example but usually melted or as part of a dish. I don’t really understand the appeal of eating big pieces of cheese and I can’t stand brie or blue cheese.

Yet people positively go into raptures over cheese. It seems to be a positive obsession with some. A friend is incredulous at my relative indifference over cheese and wanted to give me an expensive cheeseboard so I could share her obsession but though incredibly kind of her it’d be wasted on me.

I’m a big believer in each to their own but I wonder what it is about cheese in particular that makes so many people positively evangelical about it?

Now writing my cheese shopping list ready for tomorrow, so v grateful for all the inspiration on the thread.

I can’t get my favourite cheese locally. I’m deeply envious of those of you in Yorks with unfettered access to Lemon Crumble.

Yes, you are a fussy eater if you won't eat two perfectly ordinary food staples, cheese and eggs.

Oh yes - and fresh curd tart

Stop it!

My mum used to make it - I remember getting so excited as a child if there was a bottle of milk slowly going off on the kitchen window ledge!
