Cheese heads

Lidl are doing a superb cornish camembert at the moment called Boys something or other. Costs about 4pish. Get involved.

4p? For how much?

Hmmm. It's Mont D'Or season.

It may be slightly more than that tbh but still very cheap. A normal sized round .truckle.

Best served baked with cornichons and crusty bread for dipping.

Sounds like a bargain tbf.

I'm not that much of a cheese head though. Obviously I am in the sense that my face looks like a block of cheese, but not in the sense I infer from the thread title.

I bought a quality hard cheese recently. English, not cheddar - a red one but not red-Leicester. Cannot recall the name.

Anyways - I kept it wrapped in paper (brown paper, as it happens). And it didn't go off. It just completely dried out. Found the last husk of it at the back of the fridge - a clear 6 months after I bought it. Was rock solid, but un-spoilt, and DELISH. I'm now keeping all hard cheeses in brown paper. Will update you periodically.

Cant wait Jelly. Was it a Dorset red?

For hard cheese wrap in wax paper or parchment paper. Either use a bit of tape to tape closed or wrap again loosely in tin foil.

Or just get the fvck on with eating it.

Have had a look - doesn't look like Dorset red. Was the deepest orange cheese ever - like the colour of a yolk of a Burford Brown egg.

Soft cheese is just ming apart from chèvre.

what a ridiculous thing to say

there are fine cheeses in every category of cheese: hard, soft, blue, goat, sheep, rind etc

But at this time of year our thoughts inevitably turn to the little baby cheeses

away in pret a manger

I am very partial to washed rind cow's milk soft cheese.

What Heff said. The only cheeses I dont like are cottage (ok, do the joke if you must), halloumi and feta.

Mmmmmm cheese

Bastards.

with you on halloumi, wang

though even for that I wonder if I would like it if I had it fresh and traditional in Cyprus - it may be that disliking what we get sold as halloumi is as unfair as judging supermarket mozzarella
