Favourite British cheese (of the edible variety)

Nope.

Cheese that is tastier for its variety has been matured longer, under more controlled conditions.

Cream cheese is very high fat and that's hardly all that tasty. Then again, even a really strong cheddar or double gloucester is only about 35% fat.

Dunno, but I don't like cheese much either (unless its on a good meaty pizza)

If you liek Roquefort you'd love Lanark Blue (out of season at the moment, though :()

Oh, and it's "Meaux". I'm quite partial to Maddame Donge's. (Yes John)

OK, let me rephrase what I said. All my favourite cheeses have reletivly high fat contents (except Brie, which is normaly around 45%.)


And I am well aware of the processes involved in cheese making.

Blue Stilton. I'm not actually sure what other cheeses are for.

nope

on the other hand, i have smelt the most evil smelling cheese ever :O
(my french supervisor once brought in cheese to work that smelt like something had died and was left behind a radiator for a month before scraping it into a tub)

:S

Which reminds me that the wierdest cheese I've tasted was that Scandinavian one that's like toffee.

I note your recommendation and will pursue. Also your correction. Pedantic bugger.

Red Leicster, but I'm not a Cheese Connasieur(completely random spelling!) by any means.

Meheh, I sell cheese for a living.

Aye, the Lanark Blue. Made in Lanarkshire (about halfway between Embra and Weegie land, and a bit south) by a bloke called Humphrey Errington (who I've met).

It's sort of like Roquefort, but far, far superior. Also give the Dunsyre Blue a whirl, another damn fine cheese. More like Gorganzola though.

See, I'm a bastard. I've got you all interested in one of my favourite cheeses, and certainly my favourite blue, and now you realy want to try it. Trouble is, it's made from ewe's milk. Ewe's only give milk at certain times, and right now is not one of them. Lanark Blue is well and truely out of season, and impossible to get.

Red Leicster is realy nice, especialy on a sandwich or grilled on toast with a dash of Lee & Perrins.

It's actualy a by-product of Stilton, and was original made red with carrots. Now they use anectone die (or whatever it's called).

Ooh, aye, I concur. It's also a very good nibbles cheese, too.

It's around for about 4 months at a time, I think.
