Which cheese to eat with Christmas fruit cake

[FushiaFernica]

Does anyone know of a cheese that would taste nice eaten with Christmas fruit cake? It is a fruit cake without icing, I just feel it would taste nicer eaten with a bit of cheese.

[OodKingWenceslas]

Wensleydale is nice with tea bread. That might work

Red leicester.

(hungry now)

[TheSecretSantaDNCOP]

Stilton. Oh yeah.

We eat it with cheese every year. Just after Xmas, I take the icing off, cake is a bit drier and crumblier, delicious with the slightly nutty taste of Red Leicester. DH used to look like this at the combination... when I first met him, now he's a convert!

[FushiaFernica]

Thanks thought I was being weird, some great suggestions, think Stilton may be a bit hardcore for me, but def going to try Wensleydale and Red Leicester, fab!

White Stilton or Wensleydale or a mild (not "tasty") Lancashire.

[LoonvanBoon]

I love rich fruit cake with manchego.

[lilolilmanchester]

another vote for Red Leicester

[shrimponastick]

Wensleydale or a strong cheddar work well IMO.

Haven't cut into our cake yet - we hav to wait until we have the tree up.

[spookysal]

Do you eat the cake and then eat the cheese?

Sounds a delicious combination!

[TheSkiingGardener]

Wensleydale! Both in the same bite!

[Leeds2]

Wensleydale for me too!

[Allalonenow]

Manchego or Lancashire or Feta would all work, but Blue Stilton would be my favourite.

[purpleloosestrife]

Cheshire cheese is nice with cake, too. My DH is a convert to cheese and cake now too!

[Tiggles]

I eat it it with a mature cheddar.

[DewDr0p]

Lancashire is the traditional choice imho but Cheshire might also work. Yum.

[Bluestocking]

Wensleydale. So delicious! But a mature cheddar is nice with fruit cake too.

[IsaXMASbelleRinging]

It has to be Wenslydale!!!!!!!!! Anything other than a crumbly mild white cheese is just wrong.

[spookysal]

I really didn't need to bother with the biscuits for cheese this year did I

[ceeveebee]

Only Lancashire should be eaten with Christmas cake

[Allalonenow]

Up to now Wensleydale is the clear favourite, with twice as many votes as Stilton, Cheddar or Lancashire.

I'm a Stilton or Lancashire girl, maybe we need a poll??

[SantaWearsGreen]

Cranberry wensleydale..mmm. Or white stilton.

[Ihatemytoes]

Manchego!

[thegreylady]

Wensleydale,Lancashire or Caerphilly equally gorgeous-not blue cheese or soft cheese.
White Stilton is nice too.I'd avoid anything with fruit in it.
