The cheese and biscuits are out!

[Loveactuallyortheholiday]

Best part of Christmas? To me definitely

I have:

Different varieties of cheddar
Red Leicester
Roquefort
Brie
Wensleydale & cranberry
Camembert
Manchego
Feta in olive oil with herbs etc
Roulade
Parmigiano
Philadelphia
Quejo flamengo
Alentajano cheese

I will add some pickled onions to a few and pay for it all later with heartburn 🫣

Have I missed any?

Mmmm I love Boursin.

I wonder if it's rude to buy some to add to my sister's £60 cheese in case it isn't included?

Waitrose do a cracking Red Leicester with black pepper that we've just discovered <sticks two more blocks on Tuesday's delivery>

You're right, the cracker is overkill, just eat the cheese on its own!!

840g heading my way 😂 taking the cheeseboards to two different family days and I’m known for them so have to push the boat out!

Sounds delicious! I'm making do with brie, wensleydale and chilli cheddar this year as it's just the two of use and DH will only eat mild cheddar and maybe mozzarella on a pizza. I'm hoping his brother and wife will come over just after Christmas so I can get in a nice cheeseboard in. No blue cheese for me, but everything else goes down nicely.

I adore cheese. It’s the best thing about Christmas. I have to have decent chutney and Bath Oliver biscuits. Celery and grapes are also essential.

Mild cheddar 🤯 divorce him. You have good grounds 😂

We started our cheese today too. On our board this year is:

Baby Yorkshire Blue
Cornish Gouda
Old Winchester
Wyf of Bath
Celtic Soft
Tunworth
Cornish Cove
Cornish Yarg

With sourdough crackers, damson cheese and fig cake.

So damn good.

Delicious selection, OP! You could also add Stilton, Baron Bigod, Boursin and something smoked (I'm partial to Applewood but any firm smoked cheese is good).

Brillat-Savarin

Thank you for the sympathy. It's a tough place to be at Christmas.

I’ve just made chilli jam to add to the Christmas cheese board - fabulous with Brie or a good cheddar.
