Cheese boards

[Herr Tubthumper]

This is probably the most sensible post I have read on here in a long long time. And I'm literally eating cheese at my desk as I type this; we have a free breakfast at the co-working space on Thursdays.

I prefer the stonger cheeses and they pair well with craft beer. Epoisses is lovely and it stinks to high heaven; this is my recommendation to you. My favourite is roquefort but I see you already have this. It has it all, it's creamy, tangy and salty and pairs well with an imperial stout.

Blacksticks Blue....back of the net!

It really is one of the most beautifulest things in the world.
Having quaffed down a sizeable medium rare sirloin earlier, I hit the cheeseboard.

Nice piece of Roquefort, Somerset Brie, extra hot mexicana, strong farmhouse cheddar, cherry tomatoes, celery and a tin of anchhovies.
All washed down with a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Any other cheese fans with any recommendations?

ALL of re above, but maybe a Malbec instead of CN de P?!

Mrs.Wunt be druv came back with a cheese I think was called Sussex Cruncher,it is a Cheddar type hard cheese nice strong taste and has tiny little crystals in it that just give a little crunch when you eat it.Delicious.

What ever happened to "Lymeswold" - used to love that stuff.

Didn't it have a strip of mild blueness running through it?

 

[French Seagull]

for something a little different my wife likes, nettle wrapped Cornish Yarg, made from pasteurised cows’ milk, is a young, fresh lemony cheese, creamy under its natural rind and slightly crumbly in the core.

Godminster.

Every time.

Bit pricey though eh?

Anybody ever tried that Italian cheese with the maggots

casu marzu?

yuk..... how could you

 

[brakespear]

Ossau Iraty (had for the first time recently and really enjoyed)
Manchego
Comte
Blackstick's Blue
Any really tangy Cheddar.

Cheese is easily my favourite foodstuff

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Montagnolo is tastier and creamier than St Agur, and cheaper. Worth searching out.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Stinking Bishop or Blacksticks is a must, as are Roasted Figs .... warm and gooey!

 

[The Large One]

Bit pricey though eh?

Sadly, yes.

When I say 'every time', I don't mean that that's what I have every time I eat cheese. I'm saying that what I'd prefer.

There's a deli in Lewes that does Godminster and rostello (rosemary-flavoured ham) sandwiches. The best.

Yes,sort of,I seem to remember it was more sort of small specks of blue,similar to Cambazola.

 

[piersa]

One of life's little delights.

 

[banjo]

A nice Camembert slightly runny or Stilton.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Well reading all this has just altered my dining arrangements this evening now. Only have Blacksticks Blue, Saint Agur, Le Rustique and Cheddar but that'll do.

Nah, never tried it. Something about the maggots launching themselves out of the cheese put me off.
