I'm another cheese lover! :D I love most kinds, but especially the smoked cheeses. :) I also love Blue cheese, Camembert, and Brie. :weeping: Oh, cottage cheese is nice as well. I like it on some cracker bread with smoked salmon. To die for! :cry2:

 

O....M.....G!

Smoked cheeses are so wonderful.

Believe it or not, my Dad got nostalgic about eating goat cheese when he was on a Norwegian Tanker back in the '50s .... and he sent me some in the mail!

 

I'll put blue cheese mixed in the mix with my wonderful stuffed mushrooms, goat cheese on my pizza and pardon me if you will: the American classic -- a slice of hot apple pie with a side of cheddar cheese. Gadzooks!

I don't think I've ever had goat cheese! :) Is it similar to feta cheese (which is yet another cheese I love)? I'll have to keep an eye out for it next time I go grocery shopping. :D

I adore cheese - the stronger the better! I usually use it as a quick fix if I come home from work hungry - just a lump or two :)

 

My favourites are especially all blue cheeses, cheddars, camembert and brie. I also liked goats cheese rolled in pepper or garlic and herbs. Adore regioanal cheeses like Cornish Yarg, and Dorset Blue Vinny.

 

Not quite so keen on feta and sheep cheese.

 

Ooooooooh this talk of cheese is making my mouth water for some!

It can be a similar texture but I think has a much nicer flavour. They do vary enormously so it's great to trial a few!

Regional indeed, I've never even hard of Cornish Yarg or Dorset Blue Vinny! I think it's time for me to go on a National Cheese Tour.

 

Now about this goat cheese rolled in pepper or garlic and herbs -- is this your own recipe? It sounds wonderful and I'm drooling like a fool....

We found these gems in a farmers market, but I'm sure that a specialist deli may have some. Perhaps an on-line source......

Waitrose may have some ?? We don't have one near us but they do stock unusual things

 

Cornish Yarg or Dorset Blue Vinny!

Both of these are sometimes available at Tesco's. (i use our local farmers market if I can for the blue vinny) The Cornish Yarg is a hard cheese wrapped in nettles. Because they are both made in small quantities you really have to grab them when you spot them.

 

Rick Stein has a lovely recipe for the Blue Vinny which I have used with good success - it's DH's favourite!

1. Favourite main meal ~ homemade spaghetti with meat sauce

2. Favourite starter ~ The battle thunders on between mozzerella sticks and salad with Italian dressing to claim the title... the salad may come out with a victory if there are croutons!

3. Favourite dessert ~ chocolate cake with raspberry filling, chocolate frosting, and a generous amount of chocolate sprinkles

4. Favourite pizza topping ~ extra cheese:mrgreen: (I'm a Plain Jane!)

5. Favourite bread ~ Hard rolls with potato chips and iced tea; hot fresh Safeway French bread can stand on its own

6. Favourite vegetable ~ Broccoli

7. Favourite fruit ~ Apples any way you like, especially apple slices with crunchy peanut butter

8. Favourite cheese ~ Mixed shredded cheddar and mozzarella (makes for great chips 'n cheese, spaghetti, lasagna, enchiladas, you name it!)

9. Favourite takeaway ~ cheese pizza, especially Papa Murphy's despite some grease

10. Favourite chocolate bar ~ Twix (such a treat!)

11. Favourite sandwich ~ French Dip sandwich with au jus in side bowl for dippin', Lays potato chips, and cool drink like Crystal Light iced tea or Sprite

 

 

What is your favourite meal? homemade spaghetti with meat sauce, salad with Italian dressing, garlic bread/homemade breadsticks/fresh French bread from Safeway, chocolate cake or homemade chocolate chip cookies for dessert, milk or Crystal Light iced tea to drink

What is your least favourite meal? Any other macaroni and cheese than Kraft Mac 'N Cheese. I know that seems tasteless and unappreciative of homey charms:(.What is your favourite drink? Crystal Light iced tea (expensive but hydrating and frequently craved!). I can't tolerate any other iced tea because they're all peachy or too... I don't know, bland or lemony. (Nestea, more convenient because it is available at vending machines, is okay with little sips, though. I'd still rather get a Coca-Cola)What is your least favoourite drink? I've never tried it, especially since that would be illegal right now, but I hate the smell of beer! Ick! --Not that I would stop a loved one from having a little, though I've never had that problem; it's the copious amounts of it at sports games and some other public events that make me dizzy.

For a drink I have had, I can't drink much Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew Code Red is nice because it tastes like fruit punch, but I can feel my teeth becoming more disgusting when I drink what my cousin calls "weasel pee."
