40 posts and no Chaffy?

Despite being stuffed from the rest of dinner there is always room for cheese

This also applies to xmas dinner, then more xmas dinner, more dessert then more dessert and then half a tub of quality streets !

Those of you looking for a good cheddar, have a look at this 60 month from Davidstow. It's absolutely epic.

I'm not going to have time this year, but I do like to head to La Fromagerie in Maylebone to buy Christmas cheese. I struggle to shoiw restraint when it comes to buying cheese. I can't pretent that i'm bothered by that

This year I think we'll have some Cropwell Bishop Stilton, 60 month Davidstow Cheddar, Mont D'or, a good ripe Brie. I'll leave the choice of goat's cheese to my other half as I'm yet to find one that I can't despise.

Mexicana is a nice treat for me, some brands are seriously spicy these days! I'll no doubt get some Brie and Stilton too, used to have plenty of other cheeses in the fridge over Xmas, but better half has been vegan for 2+ years.

The cheeses from here are rather good and the cheese straws are to die for.

Mont d’Or
Epoisses
Stilton

I like the taste of cheese, but it’s the texture that puts me off. I’ll eat anything melted though. I’m a melted cheese-a-holic

Mont d’Or
Epoisses
Stilton

I’m slightly addicted to epoisses. Make a toastie from a nice sourdough, some cherry jam and an outrageous amount of epoisses. You can thank me later

Home made truffle infused Camembert.

Yorkshire Blue on crackers with a single malt at the end of Christmas Day. Perfect.

Snowdonia cheeses Black Bomber cheddar, vintage cheddar, vintage Red Leicester. All delicious.

Other than that, just whatever takes my fancy.

Has some locally produced sheep and goat cheese this year, along with a couple of frenchies, brie and camembert, an emmenthal and an absolutely beautiful stichelton.

I like it simple a good aged cheddar and a blue cheese. My taste doesn't change throughout the year either.

Sabsolutely beautiful stichelton.

I've had stichelton hollandaise many times with my steak at Hawksmoor but am yet to eat a piece of stichelton. I must change that.

I had to go to Sainsbury's last week and saw a cave aged cheddar so picked some up. It's possibly the most disappointing cheddar I've ever had. I'm not joking when I say that Babybel has a stronger taste. I may as well have eaten the wax it came in, that would have had more flavour.
