I used to make Friendship fruit cakes. Delicious.
I love good whiskey-laden homemade fruitcake.

naaa....that can't be cheese.
One of the things I love about living and working in Norway is the cheese...always set on the table as a block, with a knife or wire slicer.
I reading this thread pigging out on some blue cheese. 
I thought all the cheese in Norway had maggots in it?
Pro tip. Skip the cake. Go straight to the liquid.

If you like it, that's great. But those are weird "grown up" cheeses you picked. Properly aged chedder is good, dont worry about the "sharpness" as that basically BS. There is good cheddar made in the US, but it's hard to tell the difference from the packaging. If it's made in england on the other hand, it's probably good by default. Try the crocodile stuff, it's good.
Instead of Swiss, use provolone on a sandwich. Ignore Brie unless you having it with chutney on a cracker. Mozzarella is great on more than just pizza.
And fresh grated Parmesan is good. The stuff you buy in the can from the store is half wood pulp (seriously, read the back for "cellulose" and anti-clumping filler.

No, those aren't maggots, they're reindeer parts (although the reindeer parts may have maggots).
Oh, and Swiss and Provolone are basically tasteless.
I'll bring you back some gamelost next trip. Yum yum.I reading this thread pigging out on some blue cheese.
Is that the brown cheese on the continental breakfast buffet?

Have you ever tried Cambozola? It's a blue brie, really good.
I can't say I have. And with my wife's mold allergies, I likely never will.
No...yr thinking of geitost, the lovely semi-sweet cheese made from goats milk. gamelost is the tanish-brown ultra-stinky cheese that is difficult to get within 3 feet of. You see "for sale" signs for it throughout the countryside when its in season. It stinks going in, burns going down, and is explosive leaving. Great stuff.

Just sneakin' around....
Oh. Gotta get me some of that.

In the words of Al Bundy, nobody makes cheese like the Americans.
Sounds like home-made beer.
BTW...I was watching Despicable Me last night and had completely forgotten that his "dog" was named Kyle. My wife musta thought I'd lost my mind when I almost fell on the floor laughing at the congruity.
