In praise of British Cheese

As far as blue cheeses go you can't beat Yorkshire Blue in my opinion.

Corra Linn, a Scottish cheese from Lanarkshire Is also well worth a mention.

Not a big fan of blue cheese but had an excellent yorkshire blue from a deli in Oakham, so it's now on my favourite list.

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.

Sounds like a great choice...we're going to the Christmas market tomorrow.

Tonight I'm making a fuss of some Double Barrel mature cheddar.

Thank  you  for  the  Correction  CY,  I'm  obviously  showing  my  age  now    !

Cheese  ??    Where  ?  ??  

 

Just  had  a  slice  or  three of  Snowdonia's  Red  Devil  -- almost  makes  me  like  a  certain  KickBall  Team  !!

Yes  Really,  It's  that  good  

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 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.

Indeed  I  do  !!

Just wish it was not all so fattening!

Often very salty as well. Death on a plate, really.

True,  CY,  Very  True  {  But  what  a  way  to  go       }

Edit  ( a k a  P.S.  !! )  Its  not  the cheese  thats  causing  my  memory  to fail,  tho'  !!   well  not  yet  anyway   )

Somehow, cheese seems more salty than it used to be.

Just wish it was not all so fattening!

Write your comments here...My thoughts exactly Nav- Now I have worked hard to lose 26lb I have to be careful what I eat but extra careful where cheese is concerned! It's just lovely stuff!

Well, over the last three days I've decided that M&S invented elasticated waistbands for cheese lovers so i would be impolite not to partake of the odd slice or two so I've had a nice slice of Wensleydale with ginger and cranberry, a slice or two of Blackstick Blue and a wonderfully smelly and ripe Stinking Bishop which did exactly what it said on the tin.

The diet (weight watchers cottage cheese?) can start sometime in neverneverland.
