This is about actual cheese, not movies and music!

This is what we have so far! What are we missing (apart from Saint Paulin/Port Salut, which we are already aware of).

And, please show me your Christmas cheese selection!

You need a blue cheese and a smoked cheese

Edit: I see the blue at the back

kitchenplans · 18/12/2024 21:02

Oh, and I'm aware we don't have a strong (crunchy) cheddar yet.

Wensleydale with cranberries!

Oh I want to eat cheese now after reading this

Worldgonecrazy · 18/12/2024 21:07

Epoisse that’s my favourite Christmas treat. I can’t justify the expense apart from Christmas.

Oh no, no, no. Fruit does not belong in cheese. A fig or a grape on the side, yes. But in cheese, nooooo.

I like Boursin for my crackers.

What's this like? And where can I get it...

Oh wow, that's impressive!

I was going to rely on M&S for a cheeseboard but was disappointed browsing recently, I swear they used to do 5 cheeses for £7.50. It's still £7.50 but for 3, I'm sure I'm not imagining it. But I'll still get it because it's nice to snack on with pickled vegetables, grapes and crackers

You definitely need Black bomber

coxesorangepippin · 18/12/2024 21:12

Wasn't there another cheese thread the other week?? Best cheeses or something??

We've gone cheese mad

ChannelFiveDrama · 18/12/2024 21:13

Second black bomber

BondStreet · 18/12/2024 21:14

Quite the selection OP. I’d add the M&S red chilli cheese and Snowdonia rock star.

I do too, but we flit back and forth to France and Boursin (well the Auchan equivalent) has become a bit everyday to us. We'll no doubt have some in though.

Stilton, Stilton and then even more Stilton. Please.

IGotBigKidsAndICannotLie · 18/12/2024 21:19

That's a very creditable quantity of truffle Brie. Respect <misses point>

mindutopia · 18/12/2024 21:20

I love the pineapple soft cheese ring with the nuts, whatever it’s called. But I accept that might be too fruity for you if you don’t like fruit in cheese (I don’t do Wensleydale with cranberry either!).

DFIL’s present to us turned up in the post today - a selection of Cornish cheeses. He posted them himself, no cool pack or insulation. Thank heavens the weather has been cold recently! 😂😂😂

Yep that’s what I was going to say , a salty cheddar
