Urgent first world problem with cheese!!!

30 replies

I was gifted a hamper a while back, obviously ate all the chocolate, drank the wine.... along with some posh crackers (that tasted like cardboard) there was some fortnums triple cream cheese. It has languished alone in my fridge full of Aldi and i just saw is use by tomorrow....

What I can do with ?It sounds delish but not a fan of of its own?

Thank you for the understanding of urgency

Haha yes. Maybe the amazing cheese would have redeemed the crackers (but they were not nice!)
They tend to do saltfree crackers to go with cheese. It's supposed to be a fancy thing Hmm my dad once got the most beautiful small fluffy clouds of bread.... soooo beautiful! Without salt!!! ConfusedConfusedAngry supposed to go with cheese and pates and whatnot

Yes that’s the one! The price (although I didn’t buy it) alone wants me to do it justice. (Oh the calories though...)

I have googled but finding the replies so much better - thanks again!

Bloody hell, I bought a piece of the Village triple cream, which will be very similar, from Waitrose for about £3.50 about a week ago and I thought they were expensive. I sliced mine and just ate it for lunch because I couldn't be arsed doing anything more with it. But you can use it like Brie or Camembert. How about in a panini with cranberry sauce and rocket?

But honestly, it will be more than fine for a few days yet. Unless it is quite oozy, it's probably not even ready to be eaten yet, let alone at risk of going off.

Shops in the UK are ridiculous about use by dates and food storage. The French must be completely horrified as to how we treat their cheese - they would have this on the windowsill for days to make sure it is properly ripe, not chilling the life out of it in the fridge and then thinking about throwing it away before it is even at its best.

I second the TikTok pasta. I thought it would be boring because it's so simple and has few ingredients, but bloody hell it was one of the nicest meals I've ever made. With Fortnum & Mason cheese it'll be out of this world I bet.

Interested in this thread?

Stir it through linguine with some pancetta, bacon or ham.
Make a cheesecake.
Add it to a white sauce for lasagna.
Eat it all with a spoon Smile
