I love a good Double Gloucester, I suspect Vaughan Williams may have approved. wink

Our local supermarket sells Drunken Goats' cheese, which is a Manchego steeped in red wine.

An odd name, given that Manchego is made from sheep's milk!

...I'm getting the definite impression that if anyone comes here and says WHITE AMERICAN, he's likely to be tarred and feathered...

I had to look that one up. Apparently, it's a mixture of milk, water, milkfat, whey, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, contains less than 2% of salt, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid as a preservative, sodium alginate, sodium citrate, enzymes, apocarotenal (color), annatto (color), cheese culture. Glad they squeezed some cheese in there at the end!

How would you know if your eating moldy cheese? When I see spots of blueish green color and fuzzy white borders I tend to avoid it.



Just get it down your neck and stop being so fussy!

America has given the world some great things, but cheese is not one of them...& neither is chocolate.

To paraphrase Uncle Fester in an episode of THE ADDAMS FAMILY:
"you can feel them wiggling all the way down" smile

Thumbs up for live bacteria cultures - the moldier the merrier!

Smoked Gouda. Tillamook Cheddar. A nice Sheep's Milk Feta. Ricotta with salt & pepper.

We're very fond of cheeses, too, often buying what is on promotion. Having been shopping very recently we have a selection in the fridge including one new to us, as yet unopened:

Lincet Chaource ... rather soft by the feel of it.

Others at this time are:
Cheddar ... the basic standard and probably most versatile in our diet.
Double Gloucester
Romant Reserve Gruyere
French Camembert
French Brie
Le Roule
Ossau-Iraty
Feta
and ... for shaving over pasta dishes:
Parmigiano Reggiano.

This may be a little excessive but given the deals the big supermarkets are doing it's a shame not to indulge!

We also love the Drunken Goat's Cheese and Manchego but they're not on offer at the moment frown And I certainly don't reject Jarlsberg or Gouda (especially the aged), though I do generally avoid the very strong French soft cheeses and not all Sheep or Goats' cheeses are to my liking.

A particular favourite sandwich of mine is Bavarian smoked ham with thin slices of French Brie ... on good quality bread. Yum! smile

A local firm here in Yorkshire was made to stop calling their product "feta" cheese, because it has protected designation and the Greek economy needs all the help it can get. The producer's ingenious solution was to re-name it Yorkshire Fine Fettle, and it remains a big seller. "Fine fettle", of course, is another way of saying "good condition".

None the less, the average Athenian can make Yorkshire pudding without the full force of the EU coming down on them like a hundred of bricks...

I like most cheeses really. I'm a cheese-lover.

Mmmm ... Yorkshire pud with Dolmades ... or souvlaki ... lovely!

Perhaps the EU takes the view that nobody would be fooled into believing that the Athenian recipe works.

But that would mean a conscious and sensible decision. Was there ever one of those that came out of Brussels?

I bought some Ossau-Iraty this afternoon on a whim after you mentioned it above. I'll let you know what I think shortly...

Mitch - fortunately for you, I like it! But I don't think we'll be buying it much, given what they charged for a mere sliver.

Ah, count the quality ... not the quantity!

I don't think we'd fill a sandwich or put it on toast and it is a rare purchase for us (this purchase was part of Tesco's buy three for two promotion).
