Festive CHEESE thread

[Eeyore]

What is the origin of drinking port with cheese?

Wouldn't be surprised if there were navy connections.

You are my hero. Well played.

That sounds like Ben Gunn's suicide note.

Am now able to walk between sitting room, kitchen and toilet. I've checked up on the remaining cheeses - Bath blue, coeur du Berry, Tomi Twym and Hereford Hops. I've just noticed a whole gammon joint unearned in the fridge. May slow things down a bit with a (small) glass of Berentzen's apple schnapps. Anybody else looking forward to a long sleep? Patrick Keiller book of essays awaits, if I can be bothered.

Can we count Miranda, Call the Midwife and Downtime Abbey as my cheese bored ?

Sussex Charmer and working my way through a large bottle of Kraken Dark Rum.

Not entirely convinced matters will end well.

Quicke's and Keen's cheddars, a Tunworth, some smoked Wedmore, some Ogleshield, some rather festive Wensleydale with cranberries, and a Brie of some description.

Burned through my supplies of drinkable vintage port, having to wait another 15 or so years until the next batch are ready (which shows rather poor planning on my part). In the meantime I'm suffering with a 20 year tawny.

Had a truly fantastic Cropwell Bishop Shropshire blue. Superb with a glass of 40 yr fonseca

Sussex marble, stilton, Chellington goats cheese, some extra mature cheddar in a blood red rind, brie, some soft runny thing, some smoked cheddar. Still got a really smelly washed cheese left. Finished two bottles of Graham's vintage port 2007. My arteries are now clogged up. Gavi di Gavi in the fridge. Paul Jaboulet Hermitage 1996 may be past its best. Ridgeview sparkling is chilling. No quince jelly. Tired of oatcakes, now demanding warm bread. Very tired.

Excellent work.

Will be having a cheeseathon on New Year's Eve. Might let you all know how it turns out if I can still move at the end of it.
