How much cheese is too much cheese for one person? Asking for a friend…

[harriethoyle]

I’ve She’s got truffle brie, Boursin, manchego, extra mature crunchy cheddar… and oatcakes, cream crackers and cheddars.

Totally acceptable to open a new bottle of red to stay hydrated, yes?

I remember Richard Madeley saying his daughter overdosed on cheese one Christmas, and had to have her stomach pumped?! 😱

@jen337 🤣 (I am correct though)

This is very similar to tonight’s supper at Aparecium Towers. (Except for the chilli cheese. Contaminating good cheese with bits of stuff is anathema.)

To answer the OP: no such thing as too much cheese.

LTB

ask her to add a few grapes to make her feel a bit healthy

And to go with the cheeses...oatcakes! Nothing else will do. Especially seaweed and black pepper ones.

Bake it. It doesn’t smell and it goes sooooo oozy - in a good way!

My Her hero 🥰

Any suggestions, apart from mac and cheese, for using up the leftovers? Particularly the Brie and Boursin which won’t get through hand luggage airport security I suspect…

I mean, it’s a bit light if you ask me…

I once had 12 kinds of cheese in the fridge. I was single. It wasn’t Christmas.

Do better OP. It’s like you aren’t even trying…

We have cheddar, gorgonzola, Stilton, applewood, boursin, halloumi and camembert. Jacobs fancy crackers, Hovis digestives and water biscuits. Bottle of Rioja opened about an hour ago.
Tell your friend to crack on

Oh and pate and cream cheese and smoked salmon just to break.up the cheese a bit
Forgot about the goat!

It doesn’t count as a Christmas cheeseboard without Vacherin!

Wheres the wensleydale? Or the normal brie? I think what you need is more cheese and naturally more wine

Scientifically speaking, your friend will be fine. Reference:

In reality, the risk of running out of crackers is high so she should leg it to the corner shop while it's still open.

I once saw a whole supermarket-sized block of cheddar consumed in one sitting as part of a bet. He survived!

Never too much cheese or wine😃😋

I have bought cheese for myself , intended for this eve but we havent had dinner yet.

I have drunk nearly 2 bottles of mulled wine though.

Ooh and dont forget the christmas cake with your cheese! Delish!

No Christmas cake but deeeelicious pudding enjoyed with extra thick brandy cream! Lidl deluxe ftw…

How about the brie, red leicester, wensleydale with cranberries, gorgonzola and sage derby?

errrm… where’s the Stilton?

You absolutely should make Welsh rabit, I am not sure cream cheese would work but all of the others will inc the rind off the brie and such like will work fine.
Chop it all up roughly and fairly small, beat in enough egg to very generous coat it and a healthy glug of Guinness or white wine , you want the mix to be thick but almost pourable, add some finely chopped spring onion/ shallots/ bog standered onion , plenty of black pepper ( no salt there is enough in the cheese)

If you have a proper grill toast one side of bread ( older bread works better ) very lightly toast the 2nd side then dollop a few tablespoons of the mixture on and grill untill lava hot.
If you don't have a grill butter two slices of bread on all four sides lightly fry one side of each in a very hot pan put the mix on the fried side of one slice plonk the other slice on fried side on the cheeses then fry the outside of the sandwich on both sides.

Don't blame me if you burn your tongue!
