It's not a thing I've encountered before.

You often get unnecessary cheese with meat these days. Tesco do a beef and Red Leicester sandwich. Cheeseburgers continue to be popular, and there's also that ultra-caseous Philly Cheese Stack I had at McDonald's last week.

The reason for these dishes is that meat is boring to eat and needs a lot of fat and salt to make it interesting. But people don't like to admit that.

I've bought some Jacobs Mini-Cheddars.

But they're Red Leicester flavour.

How can they be Mini-Cheddars if they're Red Leicester flavour? rollingpin

I had a quarterpounder with cheese at Killington Lake services today. I'm such a hypocrite.

I expected as much.

They’re the best. I’ll never eat an original again.

I also bought a torch and a new keyboard.

I have once again had to buy a new keyboard. It's the third one I've had since I went nomadic.

The previous one went all weird, it kept typing ` in between the other characters. And sometimes it would just start typing unlimited numbers of `s without me touching it.

As I always say - Buy cheap, buy twice. I’ll now update to ‘buy from the same place as pot noodles, buy at least three times’.

It was Trust brand, just the same as stocked by Currys.

I read that as "Trust band".

Heron had some Mexican cheese, today. So I've bought some. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 08, 2024 8:46 pm

It didn't say if it was Cheddar or Stilton or Red Leicester. So, I'll have to find out when I try it.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 08, 2024 8:46 pm

It has bits in it it. So, it's probably Stilton.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 08, 2024 8:46 pm

I shall be having it for my breakfast and shall report back, afterwards.

The smell was a bit disturbing but it tasted nice enough.

Obviously someone at Heron Foods HQ took that down over the phone. It's actually from Xechua.

Heron are now charging £4.50 for a 360 gram bar of Dairy Milk. Just over a year ago, it was £3. llama
