What d'you prefer to smoked over? My own favourite is apple or cherry for cheese

The Mrs and I went to Asda for the Christmas shop. I was told don't buy any cheese
I bought some St Auger my favourite is Belton red Leicester 18 month mature.
Christmas day arrived I got cheese from 3 different members of the family.
Spoke to a mate the other day about cheese
He gets the small aunt Bessie's yorkshire pudding put it in the air fryer . Then melts cheese in them.
I prefer cheese on toast with marmalade or jam on first cheese on top.

We're just ploughing our way through the Christmas Cheese supply......we can almost see the back of the fridge now!
As well as the St Augur being a favourite with dips or on green veg, we still have an Isle of Mull unpasteurised cheddar waiting to be attacked and a fine Stichelton raw milk blue cheese next in line.
Thankfully we have a good Cheese shop in Ayr and they get some pretty fine specimens in to tempt us in.......

Well, the healthy gun laws and excellent microbrewing scene do make up for it somewhat - but I don't mind admitting it's a bit of a wrench.

I do love a really powerful vintage cheddar though, with perhaps little knob of Stilton, Carrs waterbiscuits, some thinly sliced Granny Smith apple and a glass or two of rioja. Or perhaps a really crisp IPA. Hell, add a handful of olives and a couple of slices of good air dried ham and I'd call that dinner and be happy.

Try these for a supply. I always went for Canadian Black Diamond Cheddar whei I was in Detroit.

Thanks, I will look them up!

I do occasionally buy some BD (not to be confused with that other Canadian import BV), and it is very good, although it's basically the only Canadian Cheddar I see here. Which surprised me as I expected that I would be able to subsist on cheese from Canada, but no, only one shop local to me stocks it, and only that brand.

It should probably be said though, that my general inability to source decent cheese locally may be responsible for the fact that my relocation to the USA confounded its many critics when it was accompanied by my losing rather than gaining weight.

This made me think a bit and as SWMBO is down with womans flu I had to do the shop today at Edeka a large chain of not too large supermarkets in Bavaria. The cheese selection must have run to over 100 different choices, I took the 50% fat Kerrygold cheddar.

Used the same as you would a pickle or chutney, bit of cheese & some comb honey on a cracker as an accompaniment. Really goes well with blue cheeses

Cut comb .... not combination.... jesus i need to proof read

[CookM]

Three cheeses?

There is a wonderful cheese shop in Sidmouth that do an incredible range of cheeses. They have a smoked Stilton that is a must have on venison burgers.

I do like a Brie with truffle, a choice of blues to include a good West Country Stilton, a French Brie or Camembert that’s oozing out of the skin, some pickles, celery and some home made venison and apple pâté. As a minimum of course.

I know exactly where you mean.
Need a go on that!

 

[CookM]

Oak smoked cheddar, Stilton, Wensleydale or Chesire .
Crusty buttered roll.
Homemade pickled onions(banana shallots)for sweetness .
And some homemade chilli piccalilli.
With an apple.
