Substitute For Gruyere And Swiss Cheese?

I have a recipe that calls for gruyere or swiss cheese and I do not like either. Any suggestions on a cheese with the same consistansy as the two?

In response to Margarita: Emmenthaler IS Swiss cheese in America. Unfortunately most non-European don’t know the difference.
Gruyere come the the canton (state) of Fribourg (Vallee de Gruyere) and Emmenthaler fron the canton (state) of Bern (Vallee of Emmen).
Very hard to find similar cheese in US, unless you can tell us what is the receipe for.
I like Muenster or mozzarella, but you could probably use any sliceable cheese you prefer.
Jarlsberg is another type of those same cheeses. It has a nutty taste but not as strong.
Emmenthaler is similar. But if you don’t like Swiss at all then it would help if you could tell us what you are making.
Monterey Jack has the same consistency, but does not taste like swiss. It is much milder.
