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. To me, Red Leicester is like the ginger bastard love child that everyone hates of the cheese world. I suggested this to the current Mrs PL who has since described me as "cheeseist" obviously if you're reliying on Sainsburys as a source your choice is going to be limited...blue cheese devotees might want to try our local Dorset Blue Vinney which is an unpasteurised treat round these parts with chilli jam on an oatcake....

Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The stuff the supermarkets sell as Red Leicester does have its uses mind. Recipe Take 500g of Tesco Red Leicester Pre-heat oven to 200°c for 5 minutes Cut cheese in to thick slices. Turn off oven Bin the fucking lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42459 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I have never understood the appeal of McDonalds. Even amongst other fast food burger joints, it’s burgers are fucking rank. And if you’re in Newcastle, there’s so many places to get a proper, decent burger now that you’re spoilt for choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no worse than BK or KFC, and it's dirt cheap compared to 5 guys or the like I guess. Actually they had some Angus burgers a while back which were okay. My kids just love the plastic shit you get with happy meals though, so they are "treated" once a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35095 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Aye, I occasionally take my bairns. Even the breakfasts are shit though. Hash browns are like frozen ones you’d do at home, crappy coffee etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 11393 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 There's a Burger Priest joint in Durham, pricey but the burgers are a level above the other fast food joints. Their beer battered onion rings are lush too, if also a rip-off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13880 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Only McDonalds I’ve had in about 3 year was when I was particularly hungover and they could deliver me food adjacent produce in about 15 minutes. And I can say that it lined my stomach sufficiently so that I could go for a mender. Tasted like cardboard like but needs must 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vegan mate was telling me about Sauerkraut based "cheese" alternatives, which weirdly angered me almost as much as hearing my other (non-vegan) mate say he "just didn't like cheese". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15550 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Most recent McDonalds I had was last month, in the small town in Sweden where my mam's from, because it's the only place in town that's (a) affordable and (b) open after 9pm. I'm pleased to report that, while Swedish McDonalds does have some local variations (bearnaise dip! pear milkshakes!), the cardboard quality of burgers and fries alike is a universal feature. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
