Cheese Eaters

[elster]

So who here enjoys a chunk of cheese on biscuits or crackers on an evening?

I have just settled down with some beer and mustard, highland cheddar with malt whisky and a white wine with garlic cheese.

Yummy.

So who else likes to munch on cheese on an evening?

Also what do you like to eat?

[Gruffy]

Stichelton, with fig chutney, or on a steak. Or creamy Gorgonzola on fruity walnut bread. I'm salivating just typing this.

Proper vintage Wensleydale, or Welsh Caerphilly, large slabs of with crusty buttered bread. Accompanied by a big mug of Dilmah tea!

Also, when in Kefalonia recently, we bought some pre-packed cheese that had small pieces of tomato, olives, and herbs in it. Surprisingly good.

Oh. And any cheese from the Snowdonia Cheese Company. Again, neat with crusty buttery bread.

Isn't in any way gourmet cheese but I have a soft spot for Mexicana cheese melted onto doorstop thick toast

[bazking69]

Another vote for the Mexicana. Cheese with a kick. Yum.
I'm also big on Brie at the moment, and always partial to any strong cheddar. My favourite (supermarket one) is Colliers, although there isn't much that doesn't hit the spot in the cheese world.

Mmmmmmm cheese. A nice gorgonzola, some camembert with grapes and red wine.

[TpdNotts]

Colsten Bassett Stilton on a Hovis biscuit with some nice pickle. Lovely jubbly.

I do like a nice strong cheddar, and you'll always see me with the cheese board at the end of a meal. With a cracker, tiny amount of butter, and maybe some grapes/chutney, something liek that.

[bint]

All of the above, plus goats cheese, camembert baked and a baguette to dip in, parmesan, and all washed down with a glass of port :P

[Wadeski]

Pont l'Evêque, Reblochon, smeared on a baguette with a glass of beer please....

[filski666]

I do like to treat myself with a nice Dairylea triangle sometimes, if it has been a particularly hard day, I may even push the boat out and have one of the "chunky" ones ..

Particularly Blackbomber!

Adding to the list :

Roquefort and Gorgonzola

Yep. Definitely a Cheese fan.

Also a big fan of putting the right drink with it.

Depending on the cheeses I might have a thick, sweet dessert wine like a Sauterne or perhaps a Vintage Port from Fonseca or even a nice Tawny Port (underrated IMO). Nothing like stinky blue cheese and a late harvest botrytis riesling or semillon. Preferably on a Hovis digestive biscuit. A dirty pleasure I know.

a good strong cheddar with a few crackers does me very nicely of an evening usually, but good quality Edam or Port Salut are nice alternatives too
am quite fond of a Baby Bell too...

Smothered in butter?

Yum!

Watch out, the cheese snobs will be wrapping you in wax and rolling you down a hill for saying stuff like that !

[grumbledoak]

And why keep it 'til the evening?

Personally, I love the smellier soft cheeses like Epoisses or Stinking Bishop, for hard cheeses Comte or Cheddar (provided it is strong enough to almost burn your lips). Mostly on crackers (no butter), but brie must be on a fresh baguette. Add apples or grapes, and a nice glass of red.

I think as a student I made myself a brie baguette for 'packed' lunch every weekday for nearly two months. I had to have a little break after that, as my dreams were getting somewhat disturbing!

Great stuff, Gromit.
