Goat's cheese

[subaqua]

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

i can advise that going to cheese and wine evenings without the cheese is a great idea until the following morning.

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

When I first moved to London, I knew I liked cheese, I'd just never had occasion to buy it before so had the following conversation in a Deli in Belsize Park:

Me: Mmm that looks like nice Stilton
Server: it is a very nice one, would you like to try?
Me: Yes please. [munch] Mmm, I'll have some of that. say about half a kilo.

I didn't have a fridge at the time and was a little bit fed up of stilton by the end of the evening. They should produce a manual that parents can give to children to help them cope with these situations.

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...

Please to be defining 'normal amount' in this context!

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

Got hooked on Ewe's milk cheese on holidays in the Basque country a few years ago. Local supermarket feeds that habit pretty well.

Which begs a question; which cheese have you got into on holiday that you can't give up when you come back. My two are

unless actualy vomitting is involved it doesn't count as 'full'. usually the port finishes me off well beofre the cheese does.

You need to start drinking a fat free port then, Greg. Come on, that's first-former stuff There needs to be a ride with cheeses one night - Marna (a person of the Night Rides)is an expert in this business.

I was tempted to try some casu marzu, but luckiliy I sobered up in time!

That is vile - I'd almost rather eat a Dailylea slice.

Love the way that the Reblochon Marketing Board of France (though they're probably not called that), decided to invent the skiers' plat du choix, a supposedly classic rustic dish known as tartiflette in the eighties in an effort to boost sales. Just like that English classic - the ploughman's - was more or less invented in the 1970s to shift British cheeses.

Family Norm love goat's cheese, which is nice as this place is just down the road from us.

 

[Cubist]

I love the fact that a cheese from Cornwall is called Yarg.

Imagine the scene, man from cheese marketing board visiting farmer who has produced first run of new cheese but is now utterly wankered on scrumpy. . ... "So Mr Trevithick, what do you call this new cheese?"...............

 

[Cubist]

Oh, and goat's cheese is great, but you can't beat a bit of sweaty stilton, or a cheddar so strong it hurts your mouth.

 

[funnymummy]

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

NomNom!!


My sons have a dairy intolernce, as a baby we had to give them goats milks, I had never tried goats cheese until then... It is also on my NomNom list now!
