ehb102 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Cheddar. Black Bomber cheddar is my preference, and for supermarket cheddar I'll take Tesco Canadian cheddar. Very sharp with very high fat content. You can put things in cheddar such as pickled onions, marmite or mustard and it still tastes really good. As an occasional favourite I pick Cashel blue.

islandgun Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Any good cheese - what are cheese strings?? Is this something detached from a G-string??? Might be worth a try. I've found that G-strings actually taste better than cheese strings and are not only easier to digest but come in a variety of flavours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Anyone tried the Polish cheeses? Yes I have .. Stiltonska, Wendsleydaleski and Cheddargorz...very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) 1lb block of Wensleydale and a large pack of digestive biscuits can only be beaten by a 1lb block of Wensleydale with Ginger and a large pack of digestive biscuits. 'eavan on erf Agreed but wafer thin sliced Wensleydale on to of either a Chocolate digestive or a Joan Collins is also superb. It has to be the real stuff, not an own label equivalent. Seeing another rpost reminded me- Cornish Yarg....yum yum! Edited February 20, 2014 by keg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 One thing for sure - our Eastern European friends have brought with them some very nice cured meats which are now readily available at supermarkets, and delis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 One thing for sure - our Eastern European friends have brought with them some very nice cured meats which are now readily available at supermarkets, and delis. That's true. In fact in Bristol there has been a Polish population for quite a long time so you could often find It. In fact, I remember when I worked on Gloucester Road in about 1989 a local spar-type place had a sign in the window reading: Polish food & Irish food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the signature cheese for the French dish Tartiflette Delicious indeed - but not with MARMITE - that is the devil's potion. In Denmark, where my wife comes from, it is used for tarmacking roads - that is until it was banned for containing too much salt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salop Matt Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I love a cheese board but I try them all and dont stick to jsut one but a good strong chedder, the important parts to any cheese board are the crackers the cheese and a good port or red wine ! Never bother with the grapes or apples. ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
