Matewis: Gouda all the way!
TARFU: You know, gouda cheese melts real nice and so it seems like an obvious choice, but in my experience the flavor of the gouda gets lost in the making of the sandwich somewhere. You need an robust cheese whose flavor won't get drowned out.
I like to have freshly sliced gouda with a fresh crisp apple from my fridge (anyone else keep apples in the fridge?) though. That can be the perfect snack sometimes.
Yep I don't think I would be able to tell the difference between melted cheddar and melted gouda. Gouda is at its best when you just slice a piece off and put it on something.
And apples always go in the fridge! Depending on the type of apple, they get mushier faster when outside the fridge, and I can't stand a mushy/mealy apple :\
Perfect cheese snack? cracker + butter + marmite + slice of gouda. And force yourself to only eat the 5 or so that you make. Otherwise you'll try to replace an entire meal with it!
