Goat's cheese

[GrumpyGregry]

It has been asserted to me that goat's cheese has (considerably) less calories than cheese made from cows milk and less cholestrol too.

Is this true?

So it appears, although too much feels a bit 'claggy' in the mouth to me.

Here is my very middle-class recipe for goats cheese on toast:

cut a ciabatta in half lengthways.

Toast lightly on both sides.

Layers as follows:

Sun-dried tomatoes.
Goat's cheese.
A few thin slices of fresh tomatoes.
Drizzle with olive oil.
top with coarse-ground black pepper.

Stuff them under the grill until the cheese is satisfyingly melted.

Job's a good'un!

Goats cheese is ok in moderation but you can't have too much Cheddar.

I've actually developed a taste for Yarg. It's a hard cheese, wrapped in nettle leaves. MMmmmm!! It rapidly gaining on Stilton as my cheese of choice. Never been a fan of Cheddar

Goat's cheese tastes just like goats SMELL, which is repugnant.

Give me some mature Cheddar or crumbly Lancashire any time.

All you say against the evil that is goat's cheese is true.

But I have a bad cheese habit I'm trying to kick and the low tar goats stuff might help me do it.

mmmm yarg - Cornwall is where the best yarg is at

I quite like red leicester too and if we're going for weird animals I quite like sheeps cheeses - manchego or grilled halloumi

Tymsboro and all the others are 'the business' Greg. I love all goat's cheese. Cheese in fact.
Check outthis page from a mainstream supplier - scroll slightly down the page and... get buying now!!!

"1.2Kg Feeds up to 4 people for 2 weeks " - what planet are they on? Delicious looking stuff, though!

Providing the beer to cheese ratio is right, I'd suggest that's more like 1 good evening in for 1 person.

Well you could sacrifice flavour and stop eating cow's cheese and only eat goat's cheese. Or you could just continue eating a normal amount of cow's cheese just like people have been doing for hundreds if not thousands of years...
