I love;

Lincolnshire Poacher

I received a little hamper at Christmas from Lincoln Market, containing 'regular' poacher, 'vintage' poacher and a smoked poacher - with some oatmeal crackers and chutney.

Bloody marvellous.

I'm not far from Oundle, Lincolnshire Poacher have a stall in the Farmers Market every month, they were selling those hampers, they were bloody expensive but did look nice.

My brother got it for me & the wife for Christmas - a love of cheese is in the family!

It's all gone now of course...

I've never really got into "exotic" cheeses (says the humble Welsh bloke), but I've always enjoyed a spot of Vintage Chedder, the big advantage of which is that it can go with virtually anything, the stronger the better. Having said that, I do love a bit of authentic Feta cheese, can anybody recomend a good place to obtain some?

God's own cheese - Wensleydale - the only choice

Bang on! If you're going to have some Cheddar, make sure it turns your head inside-out!

A big for Capricorn Goat's cheese as well. Creamy and not too sharp.

Perhaps as a Welshman you should try some Celtic Promise - It's Welsh with the rind washed in cider and it's FAB!

It's not that it will make you ill, it's more to do with the bacteria that could cause issues with the foetus (i believe).

My missus is taking the view that a little bit here or there won't hurt and I support that.

It will make you ill, and you are far far more likely to get listeriosis if you are pregnant. The "issues" with the foetus are that it will die in something like a quarter of cases.

Most bries are pasteurised anyway, so the risk is very small. You would have to be wolfing down a lot of unpasteurised brie to get anything. But it is risk many people are not willing to take.

Anyway

Mrs Appleby's Cheshire
Caerphilly from the nice people at Borough Market - it really comes from Llandewi Brevy
Vacherin de Mont D'or
Montgomery Cheddar
Norbury Blue

I <heart> cheese

[Gaffer]

White stilton
Lancashire Crumbly & creamy
Camembert cooked in the oven with honey, chips to dunk.
Oak Smoked Cheddar
Feta
Goats cheese


They are the top ones for me.

I'm lucky enough to be able to get these locally, but I know that as well as online you can get them in more and more UK shops. Have won a load of awards and without any local bias I love them.

Rochefort, that is all.

[escargot]

In fairness, that differs from what we've been told by both a doctor and the midwife (from an illness and severity point of view).

However, I'm no dietician or doctor so I can only go off their advice.

[Coq au Vin]

3 things that make me happy:

Roquefort
Morbier
Very ripe unpasturied camembert from Normandy

Very good everyday strong cheese, but nothing 'special'.

Wyfenny, (sp?) crusty bread, and a hearty red - snack of the gods!

Epoisses has been my number one cheese for a couple of years now, epic stuff.

In the same style, can I recommend some Mont d'Or on hot potatoes and a sausage of your choice? (The real recipe being with Saucisse de Morteau).

Superb when it's cold ourtside. You may have to look at specialists delicatessen counters and/or selfridges food though.

Mont d'or when ripe, is equally awesome, from memory its only available for 3/4months of the year i think spring into summer, not sure though!!
