I don't normally do blue cheese, but I have some funny french stuff at the moment that is more than pleasent 😉

My general rule though is:

Is it blue.
Is it made from Goats/Sheeps.

If both these are answered "no" then it is, indeed, the food of the Gods. If either are yes then usually it is Satan's own cockscrapings.

Blacksticks Blue is good, as is Port Salut.

I bought some amazing cheese like Port Salut but a bit tangier in a French market here but I don't know what it was.

M&S had (have) a superb Cheddar, with salt crystals that had formed in it as part of the process. Wonderfully crumbly and strong.

Anyone found eating Cheddar of flavour strength 3 or below, or god forbid Edam, will be struck off.

Irish Cashelle blue, like stilton but not.

Also, is it called "yarg" or something, its wrapped in nettles.

Cheese is ace.

I quite like Edam - it doesn't really have any character or taste, but I like it in a weird rubbery cheese-style product kind of way.

Fried halloumi is nice too. And I rather like Applewood Smoked Cheddar.

A good Cheshire does it for me, but then again anything that is well made is good.

Crowdie in a nice little pot
Coverdale (wensledale is nice but too common)

If you're in the north east (of Englandshire) visit this place, you won't regret it http://www.northumberlandcheese.co.uk/

If you are gonna get cheap cheddar then at least have cheese on toast with chopped fresh chillis - zingy loveliness 🙂

Strong cheddar is great.

I like the Applewood smoked as well.

I had the cheese plate at a local Michelin Starred restaurant.

One of the cheeses was so runny they served it on a spoon. It was fantastic.

Possibly the best thread I've ever seen on here!

Beaufort for me, though I'm more than happy with a really ripe, smelly, oozy brie.
Generally though, the smellier the better!

I think I might actually live just for cheese 🙂 One of my best finds since being in Edinburgh was a beautiful cheese shop, made me so happy!

Agreed - and mixed with tuna adds another dimension of wonderfulness.

Roquefort is my favourite

Has to be a very good strong crumbly cheddar. The sort that makes your mouth go slightly funny when you eat it. Yum yum.

must stop off in the cheese shop on the way home from work later.....
