Just eaten some and got me thinking, what is your favourite?
Mine is a nice brie or some double gloucester with chives and onions. Ace.

Lets wait for someone to say knob.

knob tee-hee


probably red leicester. i had some crazy spicey cheese the other  week though that was fucking lush

Oaxaca

cant go wrong with a slab of cathederal city mature cheddar.
i cant stand any of that blue mouldy shit

Mex do you know where i could find some decent mexican recipes for some spicy dishes?

I can't stand Brie.

Emmenthal is a favourite of mine.

Here here.

i love the blue mouldy shit, and the sloppy french shit. all of it except goats basically.

All cheese, especially Doset Blue Vinny, Roquefort, really mature cheddar and perhaps a nice bit of fried brie.

The strongest cheddar is the best, and a good strong blue is a very close second.

Can't accept that, all this anti-Malpass stuff has got me going, I'm off down to the CG to protest at AXS's choice!!   :wink:

this thread has never been done before!

the Cheese Generator?

i'd happily do it weekly. :D

I used to love cheese not allowed it any more to mny calaiores!!!! i miss cheese i miss beer i miss food!!!!!!

I love the really strong mature cheddar and cant beat a bit of double Gloucester, especially as cheese on toast with marmite spread on it. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

tallegio

agreed.

partial to some brie also, and roule.

seconded

Thirded.

yes you can. cathedral city is bollocks. buy some decent mature cheddar if you're going to bother. though avoid tescos finest farmhouse cheddar, it actually smells and tastes like manure.

cheese is king. virtually every kind.

fourthed!!

Damn right! spot on.

The sort of cheddar that stings your tongue when you eat it!

Deep fried camembert is also nice or a box baked brie with garlic slices pressed into it...yummy.

imo fwiw cheese is the work of the devil

The devil gets all the good stuff.

Dairylea triangles and primula..................

comte

i'm pretty sure its the work of a cow, but you might be right.

Brie/Camembert/Goats

I love all cheese, apart from poor quality mild cheddar. if it's mild it has to at least have a nice creamy texture. Not taste like rubber.

i hate edam, tastes horrible. have just found out i like smoked australian cheese though!

i've never had brie, is it as good as everyone makes it out to be?

I concur. Manly cheese.

You havent had brie?

Its super nice and is amazing with cranberry!

never ever. seeing as everyone seems to wank over it though i may have to head out an get some soon

When you try some you'll see why!  :D

Dave, go for a ciabatta loaf, with streaky bacon, fresh vine tomato and lashings of brie on top.

Under the grill for 5 mins, best bloody baguette you could wish for.

Cheese and Cranberry????

NO LADY NO!!!

 :toppost:

Don't eat it cold. Let it warm up for a bit and let it go all runny. Cold Brie is a waste.

I LOVE brie and Cranberry!  :(

that sounds abit fancy. is brie like cheddar, or is it runny?

All cheese is runny if you heat it up.  Its a lot smoother...........

How can someone know so little about cheese?

http://www.igourmet.com/images/products/canadianbrie.jpg

they just dont teach you the important stuff at school nowadays. i feel so unequiped for the world

I hate all cheese unless its melted. Brie i can tolerate due to it's naturally gooey nature.

Brie just doesn't have enough taste to it imo

I love brie, and equally stilton, depending on what mood I'm in.

Second class cheeses  - goulda and edam are worth a nibble

Cheddar is largely shit as a standalone cheese though, even te matured stuff. Good in food however

I like dairylea.

try Isle of Mull cheddar preferably with a good bottle of red wine - a meal in itself

just don't wank over it.

badum tsss  :D

don't eat it from the fridge, let it sit out under a tea towel for a day, will be sloppy and full of flavour.

and don't eat it if someone's put fruit in it, especially cranberries.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((( mini bump))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))0



i just had some brie. its fecking lush  :D

Absolutely agree. Isle of Mull cheddar can be very, very strong and very, very excellent. Red wine would help it go down very well. Great shout.

Hmmmmmmmm

Cheeeeeeeeese

I've been to the Isle of Mull but didn't eat their cheese :x

Thats like going to Egypt and not seeing the pyramids or going to London and not seeing the Queen, although Isle of Mull cheddar is better than the pyramids and most certainly better than some inbred Hun.

I may eat cheese that has chives in etc. but fruit is a complete no no in my point of view.

I really really don't like the creaminess off Brie and I think that's the real reason it isn't to my palat.

nowt wrong with chives / herbs / garlic.

I'm a little put off by cheese with nuts in too. I suppose I will get round to trying some one day.

i can't think of any good cheese with nuts in it.

I'm sure there's a rude joke in there somewhere.

Now, IMO, the world is getting a little fucked up when you start messing with the staple food stuffs like cheese.

For example, lets take the Brie/Cranberry debate. Brie is delicious on its own, but a little Cranberry relish (of some nature) on the side compliments it extremely well. Something to do with the mix of the creaminess of the cheese and the tartness of the cranberry. But to put cranberries IN Brie - an absolute fucking NO NO.

Use the same analogy with Guinness if you like. You just don't mess about with icons of food.....

Good point on the cheese, chutneys and relishi are all good, but don't put the shit in the cheese itself.

Not sure why you would put nuts or fruit in Guinness though? :?

Sorry dude, but the point with Guinness is all this "Black and Tan' shit. Its Guinness FFS, its an icon, leave it the fuck alone!

Pineapple on a pizza - whats all that about?????

Its like sultanas in curry, I hate it.

Some people drink Guinness and black. Or Snakebite Guinness. What the hell is that about?

ah like this Guinness red stuff? haven't tried it myself.

And yes pineapple on pizza is wrong. as are anchovies. :chunder:

I wasn't really on about Guinness Red per se, just mixing other drinks (like cider etc) with it.

Take it you don't like anchovies then? Ever had a Caeser Salad? My missus makes a healthy low fat Caesar dressing with is fooking lovely, anchovies on the side. Its food heaven.

Anchovies on the right pizza might be OK, but I'm struggling to think of the top of my head what they would work well with. On that basis, they belong with pineapple, and shouldn't go near a pizza.....

I hate anchovies and i'm allergic to fish.

why the fuck would anyone drink cider with guinness? that's just weird.

I do like Caesar Salad - just minus the fish!

One of the ingredients in caeser dressing is anchovy paste. Hope I haven't put you off.....

Shame you're allergic to fish, its bloody good for you so long as you don't deep fry it in batter and serve it with chips all the time. Hmmmm, sushi  8)

I ate squid by accident on thursday as it was mixed in with some  sort of rice concoction at a works away day in a hotel on Thursday. Ewwww. Horrible. Yuck.

I like strong chedder though. Carry on..

  Nothing wroing with a bit of calamari, especially if fresh.

  Anchovies on pizza are also rather fine.

   I've just had cod roes on toast.....with a bit of vinegar ace.  Fishy smell mmm.

I'm not seeing Birdy until next weekend.

Oh shit.  :D

That made me smile!! :)  :)

  Birdy :twak: Sussex

It's ok Reg, I think it's rather ironic he posted that in a thread about cheese.  Especially seeing as he won't have had a shower between today and next weekend, when he'll wonder why I don't want to suck on his cottage cheese  :(

Arf.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Good work

This is turning into a good TEF day!!

what are peoples thoughts on boursin?

 Je l'aime'

nice.

Boursin is good cheese, stuff a chicken breast with it, wrap with nice bacon or pancetta and bake, the cheese melts like a dream, also boursin adds something special to cheese sauce if you serve it with broccoli.

right, thats it im going up the shop to buy some cheese and biscuits. :D

pepper - good, plain average.

Black Bomber is the best - super strong cheddar

French sloppy shit. Won't go near it.

Got in at nine today and spent the first 100 mins eating stilton.  My word what a great cheese this is.  I'm ashamed to say I never had eaten Stilton until about 2 months ago, now I can't get enough of the stuff.

I'm gonna get fat!!

How am I supposed to be having a tidy when people are resurrecting threads about cheese? Although Stilton is indeed awesome.

Sorry Ben!

Just come back from Scotland with some very nice arran island mature cheddar with smokey garlic.

 Stilton cheese was never in fact made in Stilton....it was only ever sold there, in a pub on the Great North Road..

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg - cos I missed the previous thread

Stilton is called the King of Cheeses for a Reason.
Every Xmas afternoon, I explore a pot of Stilton, & a bottle of Vintage Port. Now that IS heaven.

Stilton with grapes is also a great delicacy for me.

Stilton on Hovis biscuits would be my ideal luncheon

cheese is a kind of meat
a tasty yellow beef
i milk it from my teat
but i have to be discrete

mmmmmmm cheese

euuuwwww what song is that??

I dislike the use of the word teat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R99FT4L-fo8&feature=related

Reminds me I must clean the tasty yellow cheese meat off my teat warmer later on this evening.

Probably not one for the purists but I recently had a chilli strong mature cheddar.  Just the right balance between the strong cheddar and quite a warm blast from the chillies without either being to overpowering.  Definitely worth a try if you see it about.

Is that the one from the farmers market? My mum bought some from there once, was a soft cheese with peppery top, was reet lush

The one I had was in a red wax and shaped like a pie although there are a few knocking about.

Tesco is always quite good for odd cheese I had an apricot one once, which was quite good.

Next time you're up that way, be sure to stop in at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar just outside Inverary to pick up one of their smoked cheeses.  I stock up every time I visit.

ive never had it but im told morrisons do a marmite flavoured chedder.

I did indeed visit on the way back but already had my pack of 4 different types of isle of arran cheese (caramelized onion, herb, apple and ale and the aforementioned smoked garlic)  :eatkf: so couldnt really justify buying more.  

Lovely place though.  Would have loved to have had lunch there but it was only 1 hour in to a 10 hour journey so decided not to have a long stop.

Cheese and marmite is my favourite sandwich filling.

morrisons does loads of weird cheeses. strawberry, chocolate, coffee etc

My mum and stepdad took me on an outing to cheddar a couple of weeks ago and they sold Marmite cheese in one of the cheese shops - it was like £7 for a wincy piece though
