Epoise – tried it and it was interesting. In fact I have tried loads and they are all nice when eaten in moderation but I keep coming back to Wensleydale and Cheddar. I do like a good smoked German cheese too.

But Wensleydale has it for me. Sorry Cheddar.

There is no single best cheese in the world.

They’re all the best, in their own way.

Cheese, nomnomnom.

There’s an amazing goats cheese from a Deli in Rothbury that Drac got me hooked on, I can’t remember the name tho..
That and another vote for Halloumi..

Generic mild cheddar. The rubbery the better.

Gonna get some crusty bread and cambozola for lunch tomorrow.
Got a (metaphorical) bonk on thinking about it!

Cottage Cheese you say?

Ffej

+1 for the black bomber

American.

Although Black Bomber runs a close second.

Perl las & creamy Snowdonia black bomber for run of the mill enjoyment. But for absolute class, Waitrose sell 3 stunning soft cheeses – Petit Pont L’Eveque, Tuma Dla Paja and a Chaource. Dip some Peter’s Yard crispbread into that and a glass of red and you’re in heaven. I just need to add cup of freshly brewed civet manure coffee and I think I may have typed my most stereotyped STW paragraph ever there……

Creamy Lancashire can’t be beaten for everyday use. Stilton for something with a bit more tang.

Ffej gold star for you, thankyou

Pass me the Bath Oliver’s, I’m starving! Local maker (Woefuldane dairy) does a ‘Dunlop’ which I’m fairly addicted to. Plus their single Gloucester is very nice. Right, I’m up there tomorrow.

This.

But to be honest, I’ll eat almost any cheese and enjoy it. Except Wensleydale and anything the Americans describe as cheese but clearly isn’t.

The only real cheese I’ve tried that I’ve not liked is Caboc. I may have to buy some more to give it another go.
Favourite for me is Manchego.

Borsetshire Blue, although it’s hard to get hold of these days.

According to Mrs Weeksy “Snowdonia” we get from our local farm shop

Torn between Idiazabal and the locally produced goat’s cheese

Our local Stichelton (non-pasteurised blue) takes some beating.

There a nice French number called Bouche we have in Morzine too. (Not Bonne Bouche)

What kind of music does cheese listen to?

After a long hard think about this:

Edam and the Ants?

zzjabzz – good effort but that’s not a kind of music is it. The answer of course, is…

r’n’brie

:sorry:

Ffej gold star for you, thankyou

Another vote for Black Bomber Cheddar. Amazing.

Supermarket Own Brand Italian Style Grated Hard Cheese.

Perfect for pouring down the back of office cupboards when you’re leaving a job you hate 🙂

good effort but that’s not a kind of music is it

Baroquefort?

Cheese is one of Gods greatest gifts to mankind. And in that spirit, anyone putting fruit in cheese will be rightfully condemned to burn for eternity in the fiery pits of hell, being forever prodded up the arse with pointy pitchforks. And you’ll only have yourself to blame!

But other than those sins against the almighty, asking which cheese is ‘best’ is like asking you to choose your favourite offspring.

This takes some beating though

Duchy organic Double Gloucester from Waitrose obvs.
The BEST cheese to eat in a Volvo apparently.

Strong Lancashire or strong cheddar for me.
Saying that, I’m just off out to get some Seriously Strong spreadable to go on my bagels…

Halloumi – ick 🙁
Reblochon – tick 🙂

And I nominate Danish Vesterhavsost – in fact one of the few edible Danish cheeses.

I enjoy treating the other half and I to the Sainsburys deli Mexicana! 🙂

And in that spirit, anyone putting fruit in cheese will be rightfully condemned to burn for eternity in the fiery pits of hell, being forever prodded up the arse with pointy pitchforks. And you’ll only have yourself to blame!

Presumably though, adding a few slices of apple or a some grapes to the cheese board is acceptable?

Pecorino. I bought some very recently with the intention of adding it to pizza but accidentally ate the whole piece in a day. I’ve since done the same to another two or three packs. Salty.

It most certainly is not! NO!!

A cheese board should contain:

1) Cheese
2) A selection of crackers
3) More cheese

Grapes are only acceptable in fermented liquid form. And apples are for making cider

It most certainly is not! NO!!

Ah, the Food Fascist has been outed! Not content with your pie jihad, now you’re ruining a cheese board?

Reporting for pitchfork duty.

Cheese so mature it’s ‘hot’ when you eat it, extra points if it’s running out of the rind too.

Lincolnshire Poacher or Stinking Bishop

If it doesn’t make your teeth itch, it’s not worth eating…

Camembert with a little garlic and white wine. Put it in the oven for a short spell and serve with crusty bread.

Shropshire blue with a nice red wine for a nice treat.

Good cheddar with Branston pickle.

Tickler extra mature cheddar from Waitrose is very nice. Half price as well at the mo.
