Favourite Cheese

[AlexLaw76]

That time of year, and many will get to enjoy various types of cheese.

i love a bit of French Roule and Boursin.

not having Stilton though, that is for the weirdos

Stilton is incredible. I’m already looking forward to the Boxing Day cheese board, got 6 or 7 of the buggers that will come out for the afternoon buffet and stay out until eaten.

Agree, one of t best parts of Xmas 

Brie is also another that I like.

Cheese is the elixir of life. If I must pick a favourite it's barkham blue, but throw a decent (but not crunchy) mature cheddar my way and I'm a happy man. 

Best accompaniment is quince jelly. The second best jelly after ky.

baked camembert with a good quality white bread is a wonderful late christmas day snack.

Wensleydale Creamery is about an hours drive from us and we often take a trip up there in the summer where they do some amazing cheeses

Who remembers the cheese shop in Bitterne? Closed years ago i think but much like butchers and bakers you dont see much of them anyway. More victims of mass, uncontrolled immigration.

Baked camembert is amazing. I roast garlic with it and toast the bread lightly. Amazing combo. 

We went to Wensleydale when we did a Yorkshire road trip earlier this year. The cheese tasting was good, and we came away with some cracking cheeses.

yes that's exactly what we did with Camembert, also sometimes have doughball style bread.

Wensleydale do a cheese with cranberries in it, i forget the name of it but it's delicious. The oak smoked cheddar is great as well.

Mild cheddar.  I'm not 'avin any of that foreign muck or cheeses with pretentious delusions of sophistication eaten by sandal wearing, latte drinking lefties.

Ossau Iraty is pretty damned good.

Also, just went a collected some cheese from a farmer friend - this place makes some epic cheese:

We bought some of their smoked, it was very good. We also discovered the Wensleydale/fruit cake combination. Bloody amazing.

My absolute favourite is French Morbier. Has to be kept well sealed in the fridge though.

Are these the names of some of that stuff next to the Red Leicester?

That's what Dahmer said.

Blue Brie. Best of both worlds.

Grated Parmesan on pretty much everything.
