The Christmas cheese thread

[Taytocrisps]

What are you having?

I picked up some Gouda with fenugreek (the best cheese ever), some Gouda with black truffle and some brie.

It's my Christmas Eve tradition. I'll be indulging with some crackers and olives tomorrow evening, while I watch a Christmas movie. And wine obviously.

This is my current favourite, it's heavenly.

I've gone basic this year. We have a good brie, my favourite Port Salut, a roule, a nice smelly Stilton and some Wensleydale with Cranberry. Also have a variety of bits to go with them - various types of crackers, olives, pickled onions, cornichons, deli meats...

I'm the only big cheese entering the family so I've bought ones I like but have tried not to go overboard.

Christmas requires a visit to the best of cheese shops! We usually get a good cheddar or other hard and chewy cheese, this year we’ve gone for this, a lancashire (for cake) which is usually the Kirkhams, a brie (Baron Bigod is amazing at the moment), and this irresistible Red Leicester . Sometimes also get a goats cheese. I do love Stilton but sometimes at this time of year it can be overpowering.

We did have a piece of White Stilton with Mango and Ginger (thanks M&S) but we haven't any more 😁

Now we have aged Gouda, Roquefort, and a dear little cheeseboard from M&S. It's only me and DD who like cheese
