Cheese

[MissGull]

I'm looking for some inspiration from all you NSC foodies. I'm a mature cheddar girl, but other than a bit of Parmesan on the pasta, I never really venture further than that. I know I definitely don't like feta though. Yuck.

What cheeses do you like and what do you have them with?

 

[Fungus]

Blue Stilton and red wine.

You cant beat a good 3 year old matured cheese. Usually get them at shows and stock up.

I load up with St Agur when I go to France but when it runs out it is either Blue Stilton or Cambazola if ripe.

 

[Creaky]

Stilton, port and a russet apple

 

[banjo]

Blue Stilton and red wine.

Winner.

Roquefort , with Scarlett Johansson.

Look online to buy a cheese called Azul Hojas. It will blow your tits off (metaphorically).

Take a trip to Borough market where there are loads of different cheese on offer and sellers willing to let you try all of them. Then you can make your own mind up.

Good idea. Is there still a French market at the Marina?

Not very often. But if you want to expand your cheese repertoire, La Cave a Fromage in Western Road, Hove (opposite Hove Kitchen) is well worth a visit. They'll listen to your preferences and put together a tasting platter - to eat there or take home.

Sounds great. I'll definitely give that a go, is it very pricey?

There was a cheese I bought at Middle farm once. Black bomber or something like that. Absolutely blew my tongue off, but very tasty all the same, never found anything like it since. Waitrose do an 8 but it doesn't come close.

All varieties of sheep's cheese are worth exploring, from Roquefort, through Pecorino, to Sussex's own Duddleswell.

 

[footychick]

Medium Cheddar, double gloucester and red leicester. I really hate melted cheese.

 

[Woodchip]

Jarlseberg, Haloumi (fried of course), Duddleswell, Danish Blue, and plan old cheddar were some of my regular purchases.

 

[Rugrat]

Mozzarella, avocado, tomato, lob on a healthy load of black pepper and drizzle with white wine and balsamic vinegar combo. With a lump of fresh baguette = very tasty lunch

Another vote for Roqufort and St Agur too

Oh and baked Camembert with the rest of your French bread!

Sussex Blue and Goodwood Smoked. Support your county.

Middle Farm is a good call if you want to try the cheese before buying.

Mozzarella is good, sliced with tomatoes and avocado. Also Emmenthal or Gruyere, on its own. Get a fresh baguette and have sliced Brie with ripe tomatoes or ripe pear.
