Goat's cheese

[martint235]

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?"...............

Unfortunately it's just Gray backwards (the farmer who first made it being called Gray)

I go to a farmer's market when I can (this Sat if I remember and can fit it in) and they have a variety of stalls and one of which sells lots of different goat's cheese's. I have tried a number of them but nobody else in the family likes them.

'summerdays' - indulge yourself and love it! Buy something else for the 'others'.

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.

Hunger!

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!

Let yourself down there, right at the end!

A bloke goes to the cheese marketing board...
"I've got a new cheese... I'd like to call it Cheddar Cheese"
(CMB man): "That's been done, sir, there's already a very successful cheese with that name"
Bloke: Oh, well, I'll call it Red Leicester, then...
CMB man: "That's been etc etc"
[repeat as many times as you like with names of well known cheeses]
Cut to 2 yrs later, they meet by accident, somewhere.
CMB man: So, how's things?
Bloke: well, I've moved abroad, to Israel, in fact, and started my own cheese export business.
CMB man: Oh, what's your business called?
Bloke: Cheeses of Nazareth

I do buy some occasionally but it is nicer buying stuff to share (unless it is chocolate then it's mine ... all mine). I love the experience of going to the farmers market and sampling the goods. I think it's a good ploy ... I usually end up buying something that I wouldn't of considered otherwise or that I become a repeat purchaser.

Whey to go, Fnaar.

You're too considerate! A buche of goat, a pyramid of goat... no-one will ever know! Foresake chocolate and "go chevre!"

By middle class I assume you mean "cooked in Italy for centuries but only discovered recently in the UK"?

By middle class, he means it uses either the word "drizzle" or the phrase "sun-dried".

Those two together with mention of a ciabatta and it could not get more Daily Mail.
