I had that photo from dinner 2 weeks back and I was wondering why I took it. This thread gave it purpose!

Yeah its strong stuff considering its a hard cheese and it makes for a slightly too strong fondue too IMHO. Our next fondue iteration will be 50% Emmental, 25% Guyere and 25% Comte.

Holy shit thatās a bargain. can you freeze big blocks of cheese? iāve never thought about that.
But itās a few days worth?
When I was a kid, my Dad worked for a dairy, you could buy cheap cheese, it came in 5kg blocks, they didnāt last long in the fridge, one time I remember we got loads of it which had for some reason been on a boat to the far east, refused entry, then came back and they couldnāt sell it so we had most of the fridge full of these 5kg blocks of cheese that only just fit on the shelf.
Yes you can freeze cheese - tends to make it a bit crumblier when defrosted (depending on the cheese), but otherwise safe.

Its a good cheese if its all three at the same timeā¦ but that takes a bit of agingā¦ and things like brie are just reaching their full potential when you can spread them instead of slicingā¦
Weāve got a wonderful cheese shop near us, that has a massive range, from mild to eye wateringā¦ its a fabulous assault on the senses when you walk in!
Itās funny, I like strong flavours, black coffee, strong spirits etc. But I just hate that sort of cheese.
There is not much I donāt like, in fact itās basically fish, seafood and smelly cheese.
Grated into a tub and frozen is the best way to do it. You can do it in bags but it tends to get compressed into a solid frozen mass that takes effort to break up.
I mean it wasnāt hard to beat was it? You just need some actual cheeseā¦ Not some cheese mirage loosely floating over the potato.

I must be some kind of chav ā¦ We use both ovens all the time, the smaller one as both a grill and oven for smaller items
As for cheese, I donāt really do firm/hard cheese and avoid anything blue
Soft cheese on the other hand I adore. Crumbly goatās cheese would be top of my list

We have a separate grill as well 
Our second oven takes so bloody long to warm up I canāt be arsed with it. To be honest the whole oven is massively overkill. Itās got 6 bloody gas hobs for god sake. Weāre only a family of four! It does look nice though

Aah, makes more sense now - you have to crawl on the floor to get at the oven
Ours is a built-in double oven. We have an induction hob, one of the best things we ever bought (especially when your son has ended up in A&E after putting fingers on a halogen hob by mistake)

If we have kitchen space, the only thing weād go OTT with would be a fuck off big fridge with an ice maker. I miss our proper Aussie fridge (not the baby thing we have in the garage.
I want something that has āTyroneā written all over it.

I had a terrible habit of burning teatowel on gas and electric hobs. So we got an induction when we did the kitchen out. Itās ace. I can wipe it down pretty much immediately after cooking on it.
