Cheese

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I do recall being given Kraft cheese slices at school, and a friend calling it "Dunlop cheese".

[french frank]

I'm pleased about it. It will create more variety and is a poke in the eye for that perfidious practice, protectionism.

Hmm:

#1 Stilton
#2 Gorgonzola
#3 Cheddar

'Stilton is a "protected name" cheese and by law can only be made in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire'

'[Gorgonzola] can only be produced in the provinces of Novara, Bergamo, Brescia, Como, Cremona, Cuneo, Lecco, Lodi, Milan, Pavia, Varese, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola and Vercelli, as well as a number of comuni in the area of Casale Monferrato (province of Alessandria)'

I have had 'cheddar' (small 'c') which to me was nothing like Cheddar cheese. Did nothing for Cheddar's reputation :-(

Yes, I'd forgotten about that awful stuff. I remember not knowing what it was when I was offered it. I have never knowingly eaten those slices.

But you can't make it in Stilton.

There is an Aldi own brand medium Cheddar which makes the best cheese on toast of all time.
Needs a thin coating of Marmite too !

Some cheese doesn't agree with me.
Only the other day I was in Tesco and a block of Red Leicester shouted
"Rob,you're wrong about George Lloyd,his music is crap"

Best way for cheese on toast is to grate the cheese,mash it up with a little milk and worcester sauce, salt and pepper.
Genius.


But I might give your aldi cheddar and marmite method a go.

Are you sure it's allowed?

MrGG posted a fascinating link showing a huge pan-European judicial superstructure, covering cheese. There might even be cheese police to enforce the laws on cheese.

“He who controls the cheese, controls the future. He who controls the eggs controls the past.”

Its ok, even in the EU.

Whey to go.

( edit, IIRC, Cheap Trick did a song called Cheese Police. Sounded like that anyway....)

I find it helps to Think of them as a Scherzo and an Andante.

No, but there is a point here; scherzo followed by andante is having cheese before dessert and andante followed by scherzo is the other way round, as well as being both uncivilised and indigestible!

Anyway, Cathedral City doesn't do a lot for me (although its Vintage 20 veriety's consierably better than all the othes put together), but a good Montgomery Cheddar, Devon Oke (when you can get it) - not forgetting an organic unpasteurised Dorset Blue Vinn(e?)y that I found just the once some years ago in the Fine Cheese Shop in Bath - all of which heppend to go down very well with a number of people in France (French people, that is!); one remarked that the Dorset cheese was so good that he wished that it could be made in France, which astonished me, not least becuase the person concerned was himself a cheesemaker!

You can't know better than the cheese-makers - blessed are the cheese-makers.
