In praise of British Cheese

Having just returned from the self styled capital of the cheese world, namely France, I would like to say how much we love British Cheese. Yes, we did enjoy many different types of French Cheese and count some of them among our own favourites but I don't think British Cheeses get the plaudits they deserve.

Nothing tastes quite like a really good Cheddar, our current one is Colliers (a Welsh one), or a Blackstick Blue or a Shropshire Blue or Mrs. Applebys Cheshire or a creamy Lancashire. Plus we are prepared to experiment with our cheese, by putting chilli or mustard etc. in. There are some smashing local entrepreneurs making cheese these days.

Why are our cheese not more respected?

Somehow, cheese seems more salty than it used to be.

Only just noticed this post !

Now I'm wondering if a scrape of cheese

and a dribble of cider would go down well

on my fish & chip tea tomorrow ??

Thanks for the suggestion KjellNN, tho' now I'm wondering

if just the though could give me indigestion ?

I could live off cheese and particularly love a good mature cheddar. I've had English, New Zealand and others over the years. I also enjoy blue cheeses, the smellier the better.

Very sorry I missed you Merve, indeed I never saw a single person from CAMC that I knew, they must have found handy hidey holes !!

Despite that, and the "Announcement" there was ample room on the Club Stand ( seats & tables ) for me to enjoy my Coffee and Danish ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,, ,,

P.S. -- you would not recognise me now after the "Spring Shearing", New Specs & CT Polo tucked away 'til next time !!

I'd forgotten about this thread. I like cheese from everywhere (including Snowdonia!!! ABM!). I also like St Agur - the best French Cheese IMHO. I do like a Camembert, but prefer it done on the BBQ.
