Cheese boards ffs light hearted

[Anonmummyoftwo]

Has the cheese board obsession taken over everywhere or just where I live. In the past month iv had at least 8 people try talk me into buying a cheese board off them, I don’t even like cheese. Iv just had a girl I went to school with message me saying she’s doing them and a bloody price list, I ignored the messages. If I tell them I don’t like cheese they try convince me to at least try. The prices are mad and if I really wanted one I could get the stuff in Tesco for half the price.
Has the cheese boards taken over everywhere or do different areas have different fads?

And I have a cheese slate.

A proud boast, @Twofurrycats!

Was it a Halloween themed cheese box?

Halloumien.

[ChargingBuck]

I've never been one to buy food from these "cottage industry" type sellers

Wot - not even from a cottage cheese industry, @Graphista?

[zukiecat]

@GsSar

Lots of people don't like cheese

My mother and my eldest daughter can't stand the stuff.

I'd be happy if I never saw cheese again

[ChargingBuck]

Is this the Cheese Girl you went to school with OP?

[ChargingBuck]

Cheers OP I want a fucking cheese board now.

Can you send me a link to this enterprising cheese-girl's price list?
It would be useful to have black market or specialist contacts like her, because sourcing cheese is next to impossible without them ...

cheese boxes? dont like the sound of that I mean were they kept at the right temperature how long out the fridge etc? i always find these selection things contain things I don't like so if i buy lots of cheese say at Xmas i prefer to buy individual packets so i get what i like and no waste

[dreamingbohemian]

Not so much for my waistline but yes : )

[quote dreamingbohemian]@Pythonista yes he does bring work home! We have a whole shelf in the fridge for cheese and yogurt

@Graphista exactly! When you see how much care professionals take with cheese, the idea of random cheese boards from a complete strangers home kitchen is really off-putting. Are they storing at the right temperature? Wearing gloves? Keeping certain cheeses apart? Probably not.[/quote]
Omg that is fabulous

[dreamingbohemian]

[quote Goshitstricky]@dreamingbohemian - our local person hun gets a cardboard cake box and fills it with babybell (still wrapped) the garlic and herb soft cheese that comes in logs bust she's sliced it up, cubes of mixed sweaty cheddar and then some artfully made salami roses, rolled ham, some quartered pork pies, crackers and a bunch of grapes. This sells for £20+ and she seems to do a good trade...

I call this the 'what's lurking in the fridge' meal for when I can't be arsed to cook and make precisely nothing from it so who's really winning? 🤷🏻‍♀️😅 [/quote]


sweaty cheddar cubes are the devil's own

Who is buying these?? It's just a bunch of stuff you can get cheaper at Aldi or Tesco. For 20£ you can get a selection of really gorgeous cheeses from a cheese shop, online even

What fresh halloumi is this!!

[VirgilStarkwell]

I’ve comté the conclusion that these people havarti clue.

I have no chaource but to drink morbier and write sad things in my dairy.

@Dontlickthetrolley

I'd eat this!!! A local company who I would love to order from but this feeds 20 and I'm not sure even I could manage that

I see no Godminster or Black Bomber there. Outrageous.

[Graphista]

@dreamingbohemian I like many on thread LOVE cheese I've eaten many cheeses that others may not have even heard of, when I lived overseas one place we lived the local market had 3 cheese stalls without a cheese repeated - heaven! If I were with your husband I'd be even fatter!

BUT certain types of cheese have to be handled and stored very carefully or as you and dh know you run the risk of causing some seriously horrific even fatal food poisoning.

And as I said in my previous post I feel/suspect that many of those selling cheese boards "created" at home haven't the first clue about the hygiene and food safety aspects

They will also likely be utterly clueless about maintaining the quality of the cheeses

@Pythonista but you weren't trying to sell food!!

[PastMyBestBeforeDate]

You gouda be so careful with cheese MLM types.

You're welcome

Omg you win the internet

[Anordinarymum]

@GsSar

You don't like cheese!?!!!

then...

You don't like cheese then..........

It's the misuse of the dreadful statement I cannot stand. You have to say it with meaning.

And perhaps adding 'luv 'at the end

I'm just helping you out here :)

[Pythonista]

I have just had to leave my comfy bed to schlep downstairs and cut a big wedge of cheese!

[RicherThanYew]

Rye cracker*

[RicherThanYew]

My hernia has ruined my life and my cheese options these days are a tablespoon of low fat Philadelphia with a the cracker stop torturing me, or at least show me pictures of the gross grazing tables of sweaty grossness.

[Twofurrycats]

What fresh hell is this? I already have a plethora of people trying to flog me cupcake boxes, munch boxes, sweet boxes, graze boxes....... I love cheese but I can go and pick my own. And I have a cheese slate.
Admittedly the graze boxes looked good but were ridiculously over priced.
Was it a Halloween themed cheese box?
