The slightly burnt, crusty cheese one finds on a Shepherd's Pie. Can't get enough of that!

In your opinion when does a Cottage Pie become a Shepherd's Pie?

Technically, they're interchangeable regardless of the type of meat they contain - although, in more recent times, Shepherd's Pie has come to refer to one containing minced lamb.

When lamb is used instead of beef.

Raclette is basically cheese you heat up and melt over food.

Similar to Port Salut, little bit stronger though.

Dutch cheese. Forget the Edam and Gouda we get in the UK, some years ago I discovered the old, farm-made, versions of these and similar cheeses. Sharp with salt crystals is the taste.

Just been nibbling on the latest batch, bought in Haarlem (a fine city btw) and they're superb, almost like Parmisan in taste and feel. One of them is Ouda Gouda. Don't know where you get this stuff in the UK, mores the pity.

I love a bit of Halloumi, best barbequed though! Get a little crisp on it.

A raclette is basically a hot plate that has half a dozen small trays under it for melting cheese etc. I have one.

It's also a brand of cheese 'Raclette Prestige' it's a semi soft cheese with a rind on, I believe the 'type' is Comté.

I've never heard of raclette being eaten "raw". It's only really designed for melting purposes. A good winter raclette accompanied by cold meats, pickled gherkins and silverskin onions and a Savoie white wine is a thing of beauty. Cheese sweats for hours afterwards though.

I made a grilled cheese with it yesterday...

Although, it's nice 'raw' with olives and nuts etc..
