How do you buy your cheese?

In a block - I shred and slice it myself
In a block and pre shredded
Pre shredded and sliced
I don't eat cheese
special cheeseflake

ETA: String cheese is a different breed of cheese, folks.

[TrudyCampbell]

I buy block, shredded and sliced.

The only time we'll shred is if it's for a specific recipe, like mac n cheese or something, that would require "better" cheese.

[carawestt]

In a block, pre shredded, sliced and stick cheese for Lincoln.

[muppetinma]

Special cheeseflake. We have sliced, shredded, and blocked. The blocks are usual for cheese and crackers, but I'll bust that our and shred/slice if needed.

[rjamz]

In a block and prestredded.

I get mozzarella preshredded, and everything else in a block, mostly. Sometimes I buy pre crumbled goat cheese or grated Parmesan if I'm feeling lazy.

ETA: right, and string cheese. I don't think I've ever bought sliced cheese

[lauranicole91]

Sliced for sandwiches, shredded for various things, block to cube for Pey, and string cheese for snacking.

Sooo all of the above?

Yep- plus string cheese.

This. And crumbled. Lol.

[monkeybabe]

We always buy a block of cheese and I slice it with a knife, or cut it into cubes or fingers, or use the box grater to grate it as needed.

I do buy string cheese and pre-crumbled feta.

[jaime183]

I buy shredded cheese (mozzarella and mexican blend) and slices for sandwiches/burgers. I get it at Trader Joes!

[TrudyCampbell]

Lol yes I also buy crumbled and string.

I like cheese.

This.

[charlielove]

I shred cheese like it is my job. I just feel like it's so much better than pre-shredded. I do sometimes buy sliced.

I feel the same way. Plus, there's some wood product in pre shredded cheese to prevent clumping.

True story. And then it doesn't melt as well

Block and sliced, but only sliced from the deli.

Special cheeseflake. I buy all three, depending on recipes and sales.

Ditto this! Block cheese is just better. Also cheaper.

[Deleted]

We buy block then shred or slice.

[Deleted]

It all depends on how lazy I'm feeling. I do all though.

[devonpow]

We buy many, many types of cheese.

Shredded cheddar, Mexican blend, and mozzarella for home made pizza, grilled cheese, eggs, etc etc

Crumbled feta, goat cheese, and Gorgonzola for salads

Sliced Swiss, provolone, and cheddar for sandwiches/paninis

Sliced muenster for H (the only cheese he will eat because he is a weirdo who does not love cheese)

Blocks of Brie, Danish blue, gruyere, etc for general snacking.

Cheese sticks (sharp cheddar) for E.

I buy blocks of extra sharp cheddar to use for various recipes only because I rarely find shredded extra sharp (I am lazy).

Our cheese drawer is full at all times. I love me some cheese.

[teamhayes]

a mix of all 3.

brick for things like cheese and crackers or for K (he also eats pre cut cheese - like string cheese but not stringy), shredeed for Mexican, sliced for sandwiches/burgers, and I shred my own for pizza

[nilex0102]

All of the above. We eat lots and lots of cheese and so do both kids.

[devotchka]

I used to buy only blocks, but now it really depends on how lazy I am feeling or what I'm using it for. Sometimes I buy sliced - for softer cheeses like havarti - if it's going to be for sammiches, etc. Our slicer isn't the greatest. I buy parmesan in a wedge, mozarella whole (and string cheese for max), cheddar either a block or slices, etc. Damn, we eat a lot of cheese. Trader Joes only carries organic mozarella shredded, so for pizza, I get that but it's the only pre-shredded cheese I buy.
