I've stopped liking cheese.

I bought some non dairy cheese the other day. Made for people who think milking an animal is degrading to the animal, I assume. I cannot recall the name and bought it out of interest.

It looks light light brown plastacine you played with at school. It may well be.

It does not taste or have the texture of cheese and should really go in the bin. But its a bit intriguing and I cannot help taking a nibble every now and again. In 58 years I have never eaten anything like it and part of my brain and mouth is trying to work out what it is.

I am quite sure if I left it out for a couple of years, it would not go mouldy. It would still look like pristine plastacine.

And thats a bit weird too.

I'm sorry but this whole conversation smells a bit funny to me.

I thought this thread was about Christmas Songs.

The kids asked what I wanted for Christmas, and I said cheeses and coffee beans. My daughter hates cheese, and even refused to buy any, so she got the coffee.

You missed a trick there: you should have said *any EXPENSIVE cycling-related product* or cheese.

Reminds of a great quote from Billy Connolly:

Who discovered we could get milk from cows, and what did he THINK he was doing at the time?

Who looked at a chicken laying an egg and thought "mmm, bet that tastes nice"?

I like the vast majority of cheeses, with mature cheddar and Stilton being my favourite, but earlier this year I discovered White Leicester.

My favourite cheese

I don't have any

 

[dim]

my current favourites are Manchego, St Helen's mature goats milk cheese (avail at Waitrose) and Quickes cheddar

I visit Greece often and there some amazing hard cheeses made from goats milk or sheep milk .... I don't know the names (there is a small shop close to my flat that only sells cheese, olives and olive oil ....The guy who owns the place cannot speak English, so I just point to the cheeses that look good and he cuts a piece of each

Lately, I've been eating a lot of Roquefort cheese (especially good when crumbled on a simple fresh salad made with sweet ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, spinach leaves... salt ... black pepper and a splash of a good olive oil)

I have just discovered that there is a very nice looking cheese shop in Penicuik (about 35 miles from me), which may very well get a visit soon.

I was more than a little surprised when I was in a cheese shop in Thonon-les-Bains, south of lake Geneva, and there on the shelf was Quicke's Farmhouse Cheddar. I didn't buy any, as the farm is 10 miles away from me in Devon.

I did buy some Bleu de Gex, which was lovely once you'd smuggled it past your nose into your mouth.

Can't you just break in now?

I dug into some Conte earlier.

Don't have a favourite, more like what I've got the horrors for as a particular time. Except when my mum brings me cheeses from Belgium... I adore Paschendale. It's just the bees' knees on buttered dark rye. Or Beauvoorde... Or Corsendonk...

Corsendonk...

That's my favourite word of the day!
