In praise of British Cheese

Having just returned from the self styled capital of the cheese world, namely France, I would like to say how much we love British Cheese. Yes, we did enjoy many different types of French Cheese and count some of them among our own favourites but I don't think British Cheeses get the plaudits they deserve.

Nothing tastes quite like a really good Cheddar, our current one is Colliers (a Welsh one), or a Blackstick Blue or a Shropshire Blue or Mrs. Applebys Cheshire or a creamy Lancashire. Plus we are prepared to experiment with our cheese, by putting chilli or mustard etc. in. There are some smashing local entrepreneurs making cheese these days.

Why are our cheese not more respected?

Love British cheeses, favourites being Cheshire and Wensleydale but unlike KNN above I'm not keen on cheese being "mucked about" with!

Same here BB, keep the fruit away from the cheese please...Worried

Try Snowdonia Black Bomber, too!  It's a very strong 'cheddar type' cheese, which is very very tasty, and very moreish!    We always bring some back from Wales when we visit, and our local Booths stocks it too.

I'm also a lover of mouse meat

Hartington blue, Dovedale blue, Huntsman and Stinking bishop are wonderful 

Bought some truckles of Hartington cheese today at the Chatsworth House Christmas Market.  Went for  the Mature Cheddar, Caramelised Onion and Chilli and Lime.  Looking forward to sampling it later.

I'm almost sure that Brian will have had Black Bomber as I know that, like myself, always visits the Snowdonia Cheese Stall at the NEC shows.
