For example, I'm not overly fond of so-called American cheese, namely the thin slices that come individually wrapped in plastic, but then again I'm so enamoured of unwrapping them that I'll eat them anyway. :)
Cheeses I really especially like? Well, most cheeses, but especially strong blue cheeses and strong cheddars. And anyone who says that California doesn't make any especially good cheeses should try a ripe and runny Teleme, which is technically a jack cheese but is actually nothing like a jack. And there are some lovely blue cheese from Northern California, too (e.g., Humboldt Fog), but to a certain extent, a blue cheese is a blue cheese, whereas nowhere else has something like Teleme.

3) If I'm going to order a cocktail at a bar, they're something I know that I like, that I half-subconsciously associate with being grown up (rather than a possibly more kiddie drink like a grasshopper, which I'm not even sure I've actually ever had), and that any bar will unquestionably have the ingredients for.
Ooh look, my alcoholic icon twice in a row. ;)

Personally, I'll take Gilbert & George!
