The Cheese Board

For all your cheese needs/chat/ramblings.

I have cheese in my fridge. I think it's Double Gloucester. Despite its name, it doesn't seem to be twice the size of Single Gloucester.

I have two packs of organic mild Cheddar in my fridge

Two packs of extra mature Cheddar. BIFF!
Half a pack of (proper) un-grated Parmesan. BAM!
Three bags of Mozzarella. SMASH!
Half a pack of Emmental slices. K'POW!

Cheddar has to be mild for me.

I've just had some delicious cheese & cucumber rolls.

I've just had nachos Flanders style (cucumber slices with cream cheese) followed by lentil cakes with cream cheese and avocado.

Very nice with a glass of organic pinot grigio.

I have bought some Mexican cheese which has chili in it. I don't know how that's going to mix with my peanut butter sandwiches.

[Fangirl Three]

As a combination cheese and peanut butter is... unthinkable, never mind adding chilli to the mix.

Shouldn't this thread be renamed "The Cheese Board"?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

We'll have to see if the thread launcher is willing to change it. I wouldn't want to abuse my power and override them.

I only buy mozzarella, Parmesan, and Stilton. Generally not from supermarkets.

However, on Stilton, the best supermarket variety I ever tried came from Iceland. And a generous size too. I drove to a branch specially before Christmas and they had none in stock.

I do like other types, I just don't buy them. Feta is problematic because it doesn't taste the same outside Greece. When I lived there a slice of feta sitting in a small plate of olive oil, with green salad drizzled with the juice of a fresh lemon was my most regular meal. And I was very good at making it/putting it all together.

My mother in law liked hers with orange instead of lemon! So I used to pick fresh oranges off the street tree that shaded my balcony. Due to it being a very polluted city, those oranges tasted quite strongly of petrol, so it was convenient to offload them onto her and watch her tuck in.

It was very upsetting. I consoled myself with a two pack of Greggs Steak Bakes from the freezer section, so it wasn't a completely wasted trip.

I've got some delicious M&S Manchego.

I bought it 2 months ago when I discovered that M&S was queue-free, and was so delighted to find cheeses outside the Co-op's range that I bought about five different kinds, and I've been steadily working my way through them ever since.

Enjoy with dulce de membrillo (quince jelly).
