MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
We have more cheese in our fridge the the Wensleydale Creamery. The wife bought cheese (we love cheese) but we have been so full of everything else that we haven't eaten any.
My son turned up last night on his way back home, brought cheese & strangely, put in our fridge. (it was colder in his car) He went off daarn saarf today & forgot the cheese, so we now have an EU surplus of cheese. It's like Cheeseland, all sorts too, not just your usual stuff, no Red Lester or Cheddar, oh no, It's all fancy stuff. We haven't enough crackers to see it all off.
Is cheese actually good or bad for you?

[quote=esselgruntfuttock ] Is cheese actually good or bad for you?I'm calling troll!
I KNOW It's awesome Dude, thats why we have so much! But we're never gonna get through this lot, there's only 2 of us!
Colin, I'll send you some in the post. 😉
Cheese is milk that has gone off. It's already gone off, therefore it cannot go off any more.
Therefore, it will just keep getting MOAR OF TEH ORSUMNEZZZZZ!
*Seemed an appropriate edit*
Therefore, it will just keep getting awesomer!
FTFY
I'd love some.
I'm a bit full right now though.
And we also have a shit load that's not been touched yet.
BTW. How do you know when blue cheese has gone off?
How do you know when blue cheese has gone off?
When it walks out of the fridge in a fit of pique.
Don't leave it out in the wind.

Think of the rejection it would suffer? You want that on your conscience?
Do the right thing.
Get the crackers and port out
We took an absolute shitload of cheese down to my sister in laws on Christmas eve (north of £30 worth). I know that we barely scratched the surface of the cheesey comestibles on offer so as we prepared to leave yesterday I was made up when my lovely sister in law said "please take some of your lovely cheese back to the northern wastelands"
Only to find that my cheeky cow of a MIL has already nabbed it all when she finally buggered off on boxing day!!!!! 👿 👿 👿 👿 👿
So yes. Eat the cheese.
Nowt worse than the MIL naffing off with a mans cheese.
cheese on toast
cheese sarnie
cheese sauce
cheese fondue
cheese and fruit
mackeral and cheese on toast (my fave)
bacon and cheese on toast (2nd fave)
you can never have enough cheese Jim........ 8)
(north of £30 worth)
£7 or so on a Tunworth. £5 +/- on Gorwydd. And you'll need at least a tenner's worth of Colston Bassett. So, not much room for anything else.

There are two wedges, a Stilton and a "glop" of Brie, in a stand off to see which one can be the ripest and smelliest on the top shelf of the fridge.
* Glop is the new term for severely over ripe Brie. It's no longer a wedge, more a pancake.
Erm... PayPal gift?
Bregante reported to the [s] mods[/s] cheese police.

This is crap, my 'man-flu' has gone to my taste buds & killed them, now I can't taste any cheese! 🙄
Try cleaning your taste buds with some port
Don't have any port Col. *cries*
What malt for cheese?
& anyone that says 'Soreen' gets a kick in the predictables.
I bloody love cheese! On Christmas day we had:
St Eadburgha (like brie but better)
Chellington
Chaource
Lancashire Blue
Wodehill Blue
Cashell Blue
St Oswald (soft, washed rind)
Thomas Hoe red Leicester (cloth bound, decent)
Keens cheddar
Wobbly Bottom goats cheese
Spenwood sheeps cheese
There half a Lancashire Blue left, half the Wodehill, bit of red Leicester and a bit of cheddar, the rest is gone.
Of course its good for you, what is there to be bad?!?!? + it will keep for ages because its alive
To mis quote a recent swine meat related thread...
I appear to have too much cheese

Got a fridge full of cheese which is vying for space with a 6lb Maple and Mustard ham that I made on Boxing Day. I'm back at work tomorrow so it won't get eaten then so I think I may have to start on it all when I get in from work. I just need to make sure we have enough for New Year's Eve for mine and mrs Matt's traditional cheesefest.
Hopefully my tastebuds will be back in action soon. Sitting here with Brie & Laphroaig & can't bloody taste either
Maple and Mustard ham
Swap for some cheese Matt? 😆
Unfortunately the MIL already has dibs on a big chunk of it a la Bregante. It is bloody lovely though.
Cheese contains serotonin so it will make you feel good! Cheese also contains calcium which is good for keeping bones strong. Calcium also stops the body from absorbing fat to an extend. So yes i think cheese is good for you. Unfortunately it contains very high levels of saturated fats which aren't good, albeit the calcium inhibits some absorption.
BTW. How do you know when blue cheese has gone off?
When there's an empty container in the fridge, [i]and nobody's eaten any![/i]
Some would have it that it doesn't 'go off', it just gets more 'mature' as time goes on. You'll know when it's gone a bit too far when it starts sending questing pseudopods in the direction of the door, and you have to beat it back with a stick!

I think the word you're looking for is "personality"
If it physically assaults you as you walk into the kitchen then it's gone off. Barring that.....
"When a man is tired of cheese, he's tired of life."
Damn you! I was about to go to bed at a sensible time for once. But now I hear those faint voices from the cheese board calling "eat me, eat meee".
That's probably the halloumi.
Oh, fried or grilled halloumi with a full English. The dogs teets.
