thebrokendoll 9244 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 fucking love the stuff I do. lived in st loiuis in france for a couple of years and found the easiest way to wind me frenchie mates up was to tell them that their language wasn't very important and their cheese was shite. in fairness the latter's probably not strictly true after being advised that only a heathen refrigerates camembert and the secret is to stick it in a dark cupboard till it shrinks to 1/4 its original size, turns a yellowy brown and can be smelt from 500 yards..... delicious! on the above basis I would put camerbert on a par with a really good vintage farmhouse cheddar. blue cheese is where its at for me though and I've always considered gorgonzola to be the king of cheese, until I discovered cabrales from northern spain. fucking hard to get a hold of mind, even from speciality cheese shops but I urge you even if it means heading off to the picos de europe to find some, do so. fucking magnificent!

Every couple of months I go up to Blagdon for a cheese fest, you can get some really nice stuff there. I love a really good, nutty Red Leicester, and some of the Northumberland Nettle cheese is amazing. Not a great fan of blue cheeses tbh, I’ll have a little snifter now and then but mostly, bleurch. As far as French cheese, Comte, Cantal, Mimolette, Yogi , and occasionally a goats cheese ( Picodon de l’Ardeche if you can get it ), that’s been melted and dumped on a green salad- lush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy drinking plant-based milk substitutes but there is no substitute for cheese.

Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I know cheddar gets shit on by chipsters like us, but my mother-in-law buys hers from Fenwicks and makes cheese scones which are at least 60% cheese. She has three daughters, their spouses (self included),and seven grand kids, and we all know when it’s “scone day”, and if anyone takes more than their allotted scone allowance their is absolute, all out, mildly pissed-off war They are the best cheese scones I’ve ever had, am ever likely to have, and I’ve told her if she doesn’t give me the recipe in her will, I’ll have her revived just so that I can kill her again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not suitable for sexy shenanigans as it can get hotter than lava. Special love to burger companions, feta , Kasseri and Kefalotiri. There's a secret place in Jesmond that you can get this stuff "unpasturised" oooooo (well, it was secret, still I started telling everyone and their aunt) Edited January 28, 2022 by scoobos If Im going to use big clever words, I should learn to spell the fuckers first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
