Unbelievably good cheese

Back to the UK, Stinking Bishop is one to try (of Wallace and Gromit fame). Made to an old English monastic recipe, the rind is washed in perry made from the Stinking Bishop pear. A very pungent, creamy soft cheese with a mild yet full bodied flavour.Charles Martell & Son - Stinking Bishop

Oszczypek cheese from the Tatras mountains in Poland is a strange one for sure. Made from sheep's milk, it is pressed into decorative moulds and smoked. The consistency is slightly rubbery.

Apart from being the birthplace of Napoleon, Corsica is also famous for its Brocciu cheese. Eaten all over the island, it is a whey cheese with a sweet flavour, eaten young.

 

[WHPES]

Gjetost cheese from Norway is another whey cheese, but this is much darker and harder in consistency. The whey is boiled and almost caramelised to form a brown colour and has been likened to fudge in flavour, sweetness and consistency. Used with sweet dishes. Available from most cheesemongers and delis.

We are great cheese fans, forget the wine, just get the cheese!

Korbáčik cheese from Slovakia is the orignal string cheese which inspired the mass produced abomination forced upon our youngsters today. Pulled into strands and usually smoked and braided into hanks, it keeps for a great length of time.

Casu Marzu. Sardinia. Banned under the EU health regulations (not that I would be tempted to try it anyway)

OK, am now having a cheese crisis.

Am off the vin rouge, and have rekindled an old Jack Daniels flame.

All round good stuff, but not so great with cheese. It curdles the soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert, and competes too hard with the stronger hard cheeses.

Do I have to go american, and squirt my cheese out of a can?

YYYYuuucccckkk!

Good god man....have you taken leave of your senses?......how the hell can you "go off" vin rouge?......its just not possible.

Because if I was swigging both decent Shiraz and Jack at the same time, I would be a gibbering wreck every morning!

 

[Toxic Ted]

I don't think anyone would notice.

How else do your explain your condition?

Thanks for your support. At present I am still managing to sustain the pretence of being a serious businessman!

For a while, at least.

Hmmm.

A good cheddar (Davidstow) but a bad Camembert (President). The latter normally reliable, but not today. I even bought it 3 weeks ago and left it to mature, but it remains rubbery and bouncy to the touch. Not good.

Jack Daniels as reliable as ever though, so not a totally wasted evening.

 

[Dotty]

Sounds as though it would be better used as a cooking ingredient.

Or Fishing bait for say Carp?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Back to the Davidstow - still a safe choice.

Have not solves the other problem though. Perhaps I should pick up some yellow-tail tomorrow?

 

[stevetheplumber]

we watched a back to back tasting on telly and tescos own mature cheddar was the winner and i must say we agree and have stopped buying the more expesive ones

Just reminded me to share the roquefort with my daughter

(No chance of that getting stuck on end of an ook ! - such abuse)

Well, Mrs S has delivered the goods again.

A Camembert so divinely ripe, so mind bendingly flavoursome and so devilishly more-ish that I would have swapped tonights Beef wellington with roasties, sprouts etc for just a single mouthful.

Belinda Carlisle claimed that heaven was a place on earth.

I can confirm that the place to which she refers is currently in our fridge.
