Rincewind Posted 29 October 2013 Posted 29 October 2013 I like all che ese but financial restrains limits my choice I am happy w with cheddar tho
absolutelegend Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Stilton is my favourite, followed by roquefort. Recently I've been getting into haloumi, I don't now why but I like the way it squeaks on my teeth when I bite it
Webbo Posted 30 October 2013 Author Posted 30 October 2013 Love a Babybel or a Cheesestring. I always had you down as a Dairylea man myself.
Vlad the Fox Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 Pasta with halved cherry tomatoes, chilli, garlic and extra virgin olive oil stirred through and finished with crumbled Shropshire Blue gently mixed in at the end. Very nice.

Vlad the Fox Posted 30 October 2013 Posted 30 October 2013 that does sound very nice indeed! You need to let the tomatoes, chilli flakes, garlic and olive oil macerate for 30 mins and don't forget to season it.
Webbo Posted 16 November 2014 Author Posted 16 November 2014 Had some of this on holiday Quiejo Sao Jorge. The texture of Edam but with the flavour of a really strong cheddar. Literally makes the roof of your mouth sting. Flippin' delicious.
lavrentis Posted 16 November 2014 Posted 16 November 2014 I went to Iceland not long back and bought some Iceland Red Leicester. Fucking horrific.
Unabomber Posted 16 November 2014 Posted 16 November 2014 I went to Iceland not long back and bought some Iceland Red Leicester. ****ing horrific. The country or the store? I like cheese it's legit. Although I don't like blue cheese, prefer brie or wensleydale with cranberries or even a good strong cheddar. Also I have found that a good red wine goes well with cheese.
ScouseFox Posted 16 November 2014 Posted 16 November 2014 why do you shop in iceland but drink champagne on nights out? imo if you just drank, let's say, nice beer or a scotch on a night out you'd be able to shop in a higher class of supermarket and live a better life

Lets be honest as well there aint nothing like an Iceland watery frozen deep pan rat meat pizza
AoWW Posted 16 November 2014 Posted 16 November 2014 Tried this the other day... Port wine Derby. Amazing.
Buce Posted 17 November 2014 Posted 17 November 2014 Tried this the other day... Port wine Derby. Amazing. That looks amazing. Where did you buy it?
AoWW Posted 17 November 2014 Posted 17 November 2014 That looks amazing. Where did you buy it? Tescos, surprisingly. It was a different store to the one I usually shop in though (I've never noticed it in there) so perhaps it's not that widely stocked.

Fox42 Posted 17 November 2014 Posted 17 November 2014 In terms of mature cheddar, I only like the Canadian kind. Baked Camembert <3 Double Gloucester <3 Gruyere <3 And anyone had Mahon cheese? So good with tapas <3
fuchsntf Posted 18 November 2014 Posted 18 November 2014 At one time, in the Leicester market there were 2-4 stalls selling cheeses from local shire, great choice of other various shires cheeses, the well known greats with some unknown specials, and quite a few foreign favourites. Also many Restaurants always had a top cheeseboard, to end your meal perfectly.Midland counties and cotswolds were well known for their local farms cheese products. Red Leicester and the Gloucester Red were/are still my favourites but naturally matured not the processed. For years the British cheeses competed against any of the famous French fromageries, who we used to do businesses exchanges with. Like beer, pies, sausages and unique local cheeses, Leicester housewives and other consumers have forgotten what was on their own doorstep.I suppose the supermarkets over the years changed shopping habits, and destroyed many local diary businesses. How many people from Leicester today know how important, and world famous the Leicester Market was, the biggest covered market in Europe, selling, local and worldwide products well before, many London and northern markets, and the fact, at one time Leicester's shopping center with all brand names plus the market all within walking distance of each other.With shopping centers being moved from the center, it kills any city and local produce becomes forgotten. Many times pushing also small local produces from other shires, which were regularly exchanged, out of the minds eye. This also effected the local restaurants approach to local produce investment. Thank god , walkers , local pie shops, and Melton Mowbray PPs are still around.
