to eat all the cheese?

I'm a bit pissed. I made the fatal mistake of opening a second bottle of wine whilst watching the rugby. Now I've got the munchies. The only nice thing in the fridge is cheese. But it's the weekend and DS and DH will want cheese tomorrow.

Oh furck it. i'm going to eat it. Cheddar or feta first, heh?

Fuck yeah!

Fatmomma99 · 19/09/2015 01:20

I knew you didn't mean a poncy sweet cheese cake. We are in one mind, and were born to be together. You are my sole mate!

(p.s. is there a "couples" place on MN where we could take this privately and stop potentially embarrassing others with our PDAs?)

btw, our cake will have no cheddar. You're with me, right?

Fatmomma99 · 19/09/2015 01:21

just seen your pic.

I have undying love and loyalty to you for ever! Are you my friend Lucy in RL?

Butterflywings1682 · 19/09/2015 01:22

YANBU in any way. Do it.
Mmmmmm cheese. In Homer Simpson voice. I'd rather have cheese than doughnuts any day.
I have a Spanish cheese selection pack from the Co-op. This thread has inspired me to eat it. All of it. With a glass of wine.Grin

Fatmomma99 · 19/09/2015 01:24

Pah, butterflywings, have the bottle and come to AgentZigzag's and my wedding!

AgentZigzag · 19/09/2015 01:25

No cheddar, no fruit, swap the glasses for bottles and we're away.

(No, not Lucy, (although she sounds awesome lol))

Fatmomma99 · 19/09/2015 01:30

Of course she is, I thought you were her and she is, so you must be completely awesome!!!!

We're going to be married so long and happy and full of cheese! There'll be no "ltb" threads for us! We are Wallace and Wallace!

We'll be all special offers from the supermarkets and artisan ones from the proper markets until we both drop dead from heart attacks!

oldshilling · 19/09/2015 01:31

I've got some Costco Parmesan. It was £9/kilo, or something ridiculous. And 1/2kg of Roquefort Papillon, and 12oz of gorgonzola picante.

donyourway · 19/09/2015 01:32

lol this thread is funny Smile

pigsDOfly · 19/09/2015 01:32

Damn you Butterflywings, I was going to do Mmmmm cheese, in Homer Simpson's voice, you were too quick for me.

I've been on a strict diet so cheese has been out of the question for a couple of months. I really shouldn't have click on this thread.

I miss you cheese.

Fatmomma99 · 19/09/2015 01:34

I'm recently married Oldshilling, but I never promised to be faithful... Tell me more about your parmesan.

AgentZigzag · 19/09/2015 01:45

'but I never promised to be faithful...'

Fauchelevent · 19/09/2015 01:52

Why didn't I see this thread a week ago? I went to a cheese restaurant and I am cheese uneducated so let them pick. Have to go back now for some castelmagno and mimmolette.

What are your hard cheese recommendations?

oldshilling · 19/09/2015 02:05

Hard cheeses:

extra mature cheddar
parmesan
grana padano
pecorino
old Amsterdam (i.e. aged gouda)
gruyere
comte (very similar to grueyere)
emmental (mouse's cheese!)

Fauchelevent · 19/09/2015 02:23

Love those ones already! Grana is made in my boyfriends regione so I fill up when we visit Grin

maybe I'm not that cheese uneducated!

Fauchelevent · 19/09/2015 02:24

I say made, i mean originated & bloody everywhere

MyFriendsCallMeOh · 19/09/2015 02:35

Ooooh no, I had a late night cheese binge this week and dreamt that dh and his friend went out and had botox and lip fillers. It was such a vivid dream, I was still believing it when I woke up. Apparently cheese now gives me weird dreams

BritabroadinAsia · 19/09/2015 03:33

Ha! Late to a cheese thread...and you're all coupled up and flouncing already?

When we first moved Abroad, I read a blog about my new Asian home called The Land of No Cheese. I very nearly ripped my visa up then and there, but was relieved to discover that a fairly decent variety of cheese can be found (at a price). Otherwise it would have been separate continents for DH and I, frankly.

Fatmomma, what a dream job! I would have eaten the profits, obviously, but I love the idea of being able to slice the desired weight of different cheeses correctly. I trust it's included on your CV?
However, we might not be able to be friends if you don't rethink your position on Cheddar. No Cheddar at all?

What I do miss here, though, is a properly stinking Epoisses. And good Stilton is much harder to come by than Roquefort (or the travesty that is Danish Blue). Perhaps you could all send a care package?

DarthVadersTailor · 19/09/2015 03:39

It's never unreasonable to eat all the cheese

This.

MythicalKings · 19/09/2015 06:51

Opened the thread to see someone had already expressed my thoughts.

Thebirdsneedseeds · 19/09/2015 06:55

Is it wrong to want cheese before 7am? A slice of cheese on toast - Cornish Cruncher - hmmmm

Wow, I went to bed, went out today, log back on and this thread has grown, like mould on a nice stilton.

I've LOVE the cheese cake. So much so, that I am not going to have a Christmas cake this year, but a Christmas cheese cake, based along the lines of this pic.

May I recommend Peters Yard crackers to go with the brie and stinking bishop?

I had a cheese wedding cake.

We had brie, cheddar, yarg (cos it's a pirate's favourite cheese and I luffs that joke),a soft-ish goat's cheese, a shropshire blue, a cheese from a dairy near where I grew up and a cheese from a dairy near where DH grew up.

It was FUCKING FABULOUS.
