Unbelievably good cheese

[Ray Stafford]

Ah Cheese!

The blessed Mrs S managed to find a camembert so perfectly ripe that its almost a sin to eat it. But only almost.

Lucky man. Mrs B has slightly elevated cholesterol levels so the whole family has to "be supportive" and eat cardboard and rabbit food.... There hasn't been a decently stinky cheese in my fridge for far too long... 🙁

Sorry to hear that Mas. I understand that some men with wives like that find er... "specialist establishments" to satisfy their dairy needs. A sort of cheese-based speak-easy if you will. OMG! I have invented a whole new dystopia. A world where cheese is banned by law, where gangster organisations secretly smuggle curds, and fast boats ferry their cheddary cargo to isolated beaches.

Can I just say...Hovis digestives, and really, really ripe camembert. So ripe its making vacation plans as I eat it. Mmmmmmmmmm...

What was that Mas? Sorry? Oh! No need to be like that...

I showed my Mrs a nice Camemonbert (soft french cheese) when she was heavy with our first and she did something quite amazing I've never forgotten, a projectile vomit right across the kitchen all over my freshly cleaned sink and worktop, getting the cat on the way. She still won't touch the lovely stuff today, nor has she ever forgiven me for wafting it under her nose on that fateful day 🙂🙂🙂

Me thinks the fermented curds are effecting how you brain works Ray but just like Mrs B I am having to trying to resist.
I was sorely tempted this evening by a fine looking piece of Dolcelatte but stood firm, I did buy the Krackerwheet just incase I weaken.

All these foreign cheeses, whats wrong with a bit of crumbly wensleydale?

I'm back for seconds. I just love the way that the ripe camembert collapses under its own weight. One of the three good things to come out of France - cheese, gauloises and claret.

I thought the only good thing to come out of France is the ferry home.

You obviously never ate good cheese, drank good wine, or smoked the finest tobacco in the world. Dispute with me on this last point (having given up after 30 years) and I may have to hurt you.

And it sounds like you never met Helene from St Brieux back in '79 either. A missed opportunity my friend.

having eaten and imbibed that lot over thirty years you probably cant waddle fast enough to catch and hurt him 🙂

You underestimate the determination of a 30 year smoker, denied his gauloises. Its not personal - its deeper than that...

Helene from St Brieux may have looked appealing but peel away the veneer and you'll find she neither grooms nor bathes.

The greatest cheese , mate, is cheddar, mate. A fine wine? I present to you the vineyards of Chile, the pinot noir is particularly spectacular.

And as for Gauloise....... Old rope with embedded camel poo.......

Your move fatman..........

Thank God this thread's been resurrected, as I'm out of my depth elsewhere.

PMSL! Always wondered what goes on in these private "gentlemens' clubs"!

No, no, don't apologise. I'll just post you half a crumbled-up Gauloise every day from now till Christmas... 😀

[mountainman]

Has anyone tried 'Stinking Bishop'.
My Mrs won't allow it in the house.

 

[Ermintrude]

I don't eat cheese myself but when it was on my shopping list for Mr TP the friendly staff in my Waitrose recommended
Ocado: Tickler Extra Mature Cheddar 200g(Product Information)
So that is what is usually in our fridge.
They said it tasted nice.
I like the name!

Thanks Mrs TP, I bought some of this today on your recommendation, and it is a fine bite o' cheese. Definitely a repeat buy.

Also some of this cunningly crunchy and sharp Red Leicester from Belton Farms. Its yum-tastic. You don't expect that kind of bite from a red leicester - like being head-butted by a nun, except in a good way.

Truly, my cup runneth over. Shame about the Hardy's anniversary Shiraz. Very ordinary.
