Supporting your local producers = great.

Buying in an irregular cheese drop = great.

Those new cheeses we’ve discovered = great.

Wife making unilateral decision to buy “mystery cheese”= very not great.

I like garlic. I like cheese. I even like garlic cheesy bread. But don’t torture a classy cheese with infused garlic.

The mystery? Why any dolt would be willing to pay for it? :grinning::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::roll_eyes:

I always seek out the knife that’s been chopping garlic to chop the cheddar later.

You sir are evil.

one word for garlicy cheese - Boursin - lush

but generally I agree - why add shite to cheese when it’s not needed? apart from a few legacy cheeses such as Windsor Red, Sage Derby and blue cheeses, nothing else needs adding - especially all the fucking shite they sell arund Xmas

My dad was Yorkshire, so for us it was un-iced Christmas cake and Wensleydale every year. I am quite partial to Wensleydale with stem-ginger in it.

Wife has some fairly weird cheese habits - Cheese from her neck of the woods is really dry, stale and hard. Closest equivalent to it she can find over here is a very mature Parmesan which she then leaves open to dry out on a shelf for another couple of weeks before she will gnaw on it.

Cheese and Christmas cake is amazing.
It really is.

Same with my dad and I never really got it, then tried some last Christmas and now I’m converted.

Plain Wensleydale though :yum:

  1. My Submarine Locating work was a waste of time, satellites can now see submarines in certain conditions and military folk report that it getting better and better. :dizzy_face:

  2. Michell Obama is really going for it, my confidence in her becoming president in 2024 is rising :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Have you looked at the odds for Michelle?

57

I have to agree on Michelle Obama, her constant denial of presidential ambitions is getting a bit Frank Underwood now.

Salmon :face_vomiting:

but you can’t beat sewin aka sea trout for quality of flesh

You’re right, all I’ve eaten is probably farmed Salmon.
