I would willingly get into a windowless white van if you told me there was aged Gouda inside.

Tbh I'm not really a cheese girl. Give me fancy tomatoes. Fancy tomatoes will hold my attention.
Fav fancy tomatoe? And best way to prepare and eat it??
No favorite. All tomatoes are good tomatoes. Raw, sliced, lightly salted, maybe a a little pepper or paprika.
Sliced tomato, slice of bocconcini, pepper, basil and a bit of olive oil

Curious too
I like tomatoes, but don't know what makes a tomato good or bad
Store-bought tomatoes are designed to ripen at exactly the same time, get picked early, be sturdy during transit to the produce store and store for a longer time on store shelves.
Heirloom tomatoes are selected to taste good when grown in your region.
No tomato can do it all, so when selecting for store bought tomato characteristics, flavor gets lost in the shuffle.
I'm not a tomato snob. All tomatoes are good tomatoes. A fancy tomato to me is pretty much anything you can't regularly get in any old grocery store. Go into any fancy supermarket or natural grocery store and get any tomato that looks more interesting than your average tomato. I'll get excited about it.

I just had tomato sorbet for the first time in my life and it changed me. It tasted like the pure essence of a fresh homegrown tomato.

Haven’t seen anyone mention this one, so let’s go.
The most fascinating cheese would be Casu Martzu (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_martzu). It is illegal to produce and consume pretty much everywhere, including in Sardinia where it is produced and was invented. It is the world most dangerous cheese, and people have died eating it.
The Wikipedia articles goes into how it is produced, but essentially you leave a good old pecorino outside with some rind removed to allow flies to put their eggs in the cheese. The larvae then consume the cheese and ferment it further. You need to eat it while the larvae are still alive, although the larvae can survive your digestive system and grow in our intestine. Traditionally you should eat the maggots, but you don’t have to.
I would never eat it, mind you, but it is definitely fascinating that such a thing exists.
Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed,[4][12] diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping.
That's one of the grossest rabbit (maggot?) holes I've ever been down
Apparently you need to wear safety glasses to cut it because the maggots leap at you, while the cheese weeps salty tears.
Things happen to me when I get a little Humboldt Fog in my mouth
If you haven't tried it yet check out the Truffle Tremor. It's Humboldt Fog with truffle, usually promoted around the holidays. - ex-cheesemonger

"You may fascinate a woman by giving her a piece of cheese."
OP asking the real questions here
Brie. It's soft and buttery rich on the inside, with a white moldy rind that tastes kind of fruity on the outside.
It's such a contradiction of flavors that I often lay awake at night, wondering about how does a cheese as facinating as brie could exist.
Boursin. I'll do positively filthy things for that spreadable delight. And pretty much anything for the cheese too ;)

Red Leicester and missionary.
Why fuck with the classics? They work for a reason and Red Leicester is a certified pantry dropper.
Kraft singles--the same way I am easily fascinated by soap bubbles, the milky way, and amethyst geodes.

(not a lady, but I am witness to the fascinating effect of more than one lady)
Stilton
Pretty much anything from Cowgirl Creamery
Cheddar.
Young Gouda cheese with cumin seeds.
edit: cumin, not kumin! But still delicious :)
Fresh mozzarella, particularly the kind with truffel oil
